Fucking RIDICULOUS. Watched this because of its status as HBO's first show and laying the groundwork for The Sopranos & The Wire (which it shares certain elements with). It's a lot closer to macho soap operas like The Shield/SoA/Dexter with constant murders and characters double & triple crossing each other. Highlights are everyone's total lack of bedside manner in announcing relatives' deaths, multiple grizzled men yelling "where are my tits", and young Peter Dinklage being dropped off a roof.

Highly entertaining but so batshit over the top I couldn't go higher with the score. This prison would have been shut down and burnt to the ground with the amount of murders that occur in a year.

I liked its experimental approach, even if it didn't always work, it was still far more interesting than many others

Got three episodes in. I can see how this is influential on the far superior series that followed it. Writing is weak at times. The stylized narration made me feel nothing but second-hand embarrassment.

A few really great characters, but it's a slog to get through. The writing/plot gets more and more ridiculous the deeper you get. TONS of penises in this show.

Rough around the edges but that's part of its charm. A crazy glorious taboo-breaking TV experiment. The end was a bit shit but it was a bloody good run.

You will blow through this show in no time. Especxiallyearly on when its most captivating, that said seasons 5 then 6 show steady noticable drops but still worth it to the end.

Even when watching in 2022, the show looks groundbreaking. The only thing that gets tiresome in these otherwise edge of your seat series, is the constant mention of religion. There could easily have been a 7th season, the evacuation could have opened a lot of possibilities. We did get a decent closure of most of the characters, but the finale, albeit an hour and a half, felt a bit rushed.
