Hm. You know, I missed that show entirely. Maybe I should watch.

The last season of Eastbound and Down mostly sucked. Stevie brought the heat, but the rest of it was a letdown.

For those who like Battlestar Gallactica, I heard that seasons 1-4 (in HD) are available on Amazon for $5/season. Apparently, that's a good deal.

Hannibal, season 2...

Beverly's sliced corpse is one of the craziest things I've ever seen on a TV show. And frankly, I found it more shocking than anything I've seen on GoT, which is saying something.

Watched part of the Wire marathon last night, it was Season 4 last night, I caught the last few eps. of that season. I forgot how emotionally heavy this show could be on a regular basis, just body blow after body blow. In the span of three eps you get

Randy Wagstaff yelling "You gonna look out for me Sgt. Carver" as Carver walks out of the burn unit.

Bubs in the box after the boy dies from the hot shot, then his conversation with Jay Landsman.

Bodie on the bench with McNulty: "I feel old."

[SHOW]

Steve Earle walking into the hospital, Bubs seeing him and breaking down.

[SHOW]

Wagstaff going into the group home, Carver walking out feeling helpless kind of mirroring the burn unit scene.

Every one of those moments seems real and organic, making every one of them a legit tear-jerker. Such a heavy show, and so emotionally draining once you're invested in the characters. I went and looked on IMDB today. There were 80 characters who appeared in at least 12 episodes. That's incredible! And the ones who were in 12 episodes, we know stuff about them--McNulty's ex, Brianna Barksdale, Ziggy--they're not just background characters. You end up invested, in the end, in a really big # of characters. Some of them who are in the series for, what, six episodes, because on the flip side, out of 60 episodes the only people who were in all or almost all were

of the street side, only Bubs (52), Omar (51), Bodie (42) made it into 2/3 of the series. Guys like D'Angelo, you never know how long they're gonna stick around. He seems like he's going to be the main character on the street side, and he's gone. Then Stringer, and he's gone.

I think I'm gonna go back and watch it all again from the top on OnDemand. It's so good.
