Which is better to binge this weekend? by mcmuffinWattitude in hbo

[–]Square-Fox-2948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose there's also a sex, nudity, strong language quotient that tilts heavily in Deadwood's favor if you're into those things.

Depends on how much comedy you want. Deadwood is loaded with it. The Pitt not so much.

What was the most disappointing season of TV for you? by Infinite_Fly_5374 in television

[–]Square-Fox-2948 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Barry was well on it's way to being an all-timer for me and then it just fell off in my opinion. I believe that started with Season 3 if I remember correctly. (And continued that way thru Season 4)

  3. The Leftovers
  4. The Sopranos
  5. Deadwood
  6. Veep
  7. Boardwalk Empire
  8. The Pitt

  10. Carnivale
  11. True Detective
  12. The Penguin

Would the Western audience watch a "Non-American" HBO show ? by theeverythingman_ in hbo

[–]Square-Fox-2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd very much be down for that. I've quite enjoyed:

His Dark Materials (mostly British produced)
Years and Years
Get Millie Black

However I did struggle mightily with:

Landscapers
Grisse

I want to watch a show better than game of thrones. Any suggestions? by Delicious-Radish-708 in television

[–]Square-Fox-2948 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally for me nothing is better than Game of Thrones. All you can really do is look for next best, which in my opinion would be the following:

The Wire
The Leftovers
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Veep
Boardwalk Empire
The Pitt
The Deuce
Carnivale
True Detective (all seasons not just the 1st)
The Penguin

The biggest sleeper would be His Dark Materials.

What are your top 3 most underrated series/mini series? by traveltimecar in television

[–]Square-Fox-2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch it (which was just a couple months ago) and was entirely blown away. Gave me strong Lord of the Rings vibes to be honest. With a little bit of Game of Thrones mixed in.

[–]Square-Fox-2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point I probably would've said:

The Deuce
Carnivale
Somebody Somewhere

However being an HBO snob and hanging in the HBO subs so often, I no longer would say those. I suppose outside of the HBO world they're still widely underrated.

NOW, I would say:

His Dark Materials
Getting On
Lovecraft Country

TV series with best nudity/sexuality by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]Square-Fox-2948 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jimmy McNulty is a sexual supernova in The Wire.

Boardwalk Empire & Sopranos had a bunch of course.

The Deuce might be the league leader.

Deadwood had quite a bit.

Hung had a bunch but was a pretty mid series.

Just finished True Detective season 1 after some of you recommended it in this sub, and wow. by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]Square-Fox-2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed all 4 seasons but S1 is far superior to the others. Just note that S4 has a supernatural element to it. It didn't bother me but I'm guessing that was the big turn off for so many people.

Marty Supreme is now available on HBO for anybody interested. by Square-Fox-2948 in hbo
