OK hopefully you've seen the other two shows before commenting.

I'm ranking them as:

1) Homeland
2) Treme
3) Dexter

10/23/2012 10:13:52 PM

You can't really call dexter a good show, now. People are just pot committed after 6 seasons.


Homeland
Boardwalk
Downton
Treme
Sons of Anarchy
Dexter

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.


And Boardwalk is ridiculously boring. It's just a bunch of boring conversations with piano parlor music in the background.

The Boardwalk episode from the Sunday before last featured an assassination attempt on a dude fucking a whore while choking himself.

And Dexter sucks donkey balls.

whoa, what's up with all the dexter hate?? I've only seen the first 1.5 seasons, does it go way downhill or something?

10/24/2012 6:22:54 AM

people actually watch Treme?

10/24/2012 8:08:00 AM

^^ It doesn't go way downhill, it just kind of..loses it's flair for being engrossing. The first few seasons were really good (Season 1 is still far and away my favorite) and then everything after that has just been mediocre imo.

10/24/2012 8:16:40 AM

I've heard that Dexter's new season is actually pretty good. Though I've never seen it myself. I love Homeland. And personally I've always enjoyed Boardwalk but I feel like it is kind of boring these days. Of the HBO dramas I watch (and I don't watch Treme) Boardwalk is my least favorite.

10/24/2012 8:20:00 AM

Homeland
Dexter
Treme

Dexter suffers from spotty writting. Some seasons are stupidly awesome (Trinity Killer) and some are just plain silly (last season up til the last episode). Luckily so far this season seems to be on an upswing so we'll see.

10/24/2012 8:42:57 AM

Treme




















Homeland
Dexter


















Boardwalk

God damn ya'll mugs are outside of your goddamn mind.

10/30/2012 11:45:50 PM

jcg15 only likes Treme so much because he's filled with white guilt over slavery.

True story.

10/30/2012 11:59:17 PM

i've got your white guilt swinging between my legs mane, yaheard?

That mug sways heavy too..yadig?

10/31/2012 12:11:41 AM

Your penis is like 3 inches long, at best. There's nothing to feel guilty about there mane. Yadig?

PM Grafenberg for details.

10/31/2012 12:19:39 AM

or PM jwb9984...he's got all the deets on jcg15's package size.

10/31/2012 12:21:09 AM

why is this thread even around? homeland has already won

10/31/2012 12:29:17 AM

Perhaps in your feeble mind.

10/31/2012 12:30:08 AM

Homeland is wayyyyy better. It's not even a fair fight.

10/31/2012 12:30:51 AM

dude, synapse quit sweating my nuts mane...

I live off of Western behind the Wendy's...if you want to take this shit outside buy me a goddamn spicy chicken sandwich

IF NOT QUIT BEING AN IDIOT

/TREME

10/31/2012 12:32:55 AM

Be real

You live in a van down by the river

Quit frontin'

10/31/2012 12:34:43 AM

What the fuck does that even mean?

10/31/2012 12:38:39 AM

oh i get it, poor jcg

yo jcg, I live behind taco bell. lets fight it out, homeland blows treme out the water you doofus

10/31/2012 12:40:23 AM

Treme has been really good this season. Homeland is one of the best shows ever. Dexter is Dexter...an insightful thriller/campy soap opera all at the same time!

plz explain mane.

Treme is cultural, relevant and relays inside details to a horrific situation, details that most of us missed or overlooked.

Homeland is just some fantasy that adds nothing to our common ground other than Brody's wife has nice tits and we all love suspense.

You know who else loved suspense? TheTuck That guy loved suspension.

homeland is well written and wins awards, treme is whatever and no one watches it

[Edited on October 31, 2012 at 1:05 AM. Reason : although anthony bourdain wrote a few episodes so its not all bad]

10/31/2012 1:05:25 AM

To be fair, Treme is a great show, but it's no Homeland.

10/31/2012 1:06:52 AM

Homeland is good, Breaking Bad is better.

10/31/2012 1:22:16 AM

Breaking Bad is boring as hell.

Homeland is like 24 without a lot of the theatrics/action movie dependency and seemingly (disclaimer: I'm only 5 episodes in) none of the dumb sideplots.

Dexter has two pretty good seasons (first and fourth) and the others are just sort of there.

homeland is straightforward and to the point, there's a few side stories but they all tie into the main story so far and enhance the whole story

homeland rules all

[Edited on October 31, 2012 at 1:37 AM. Reason : theres only one hiccup, but it gets even better after that]

10/31/2012 1:36:34 AM

Yeah, I should clarify, I really like Homeland.

Though I really like Damian Lewis, so I was bias going into things.

10/31/2012 1:38:29 AM

dont give up after episode 10, season 2 is bad ass

yes

Homeland wins this by far

10/31/2012 11:46:36 AM

How many seasons of Treme are there?

I think I've watched two seasons...and I really liked it for the music aspect....but holy fuck it was slow as shit. Wondering if it "sped up" a bit in the following seasons.

Haven't watched Homeland yet, but I'm a season behind Dexter and I still think its a great show. First four seasons were awesome and the rest have at least been entertaining. I think its hard to keep that high of a standard for so many seasons.

10/31/2012 11:51:52 AM

I actually liked the first season of Dexter better than the first season of Homeland. I've heard a lot of great things about the current Homeland season, I just haven't got around to watching it yet because I wasn't blown away with S1.

If you compared Dexter S1 and S2 vs. Homeland now, the opinions would be a lot different. Let's see where Homeland's at in their 7th season. And the new season of Dexter is actually really good. It's just coming after an extremely shitty S5 and S6 so a lot of people have just quit on the show (and I was almost one of them).

I want to like Boardwalk, I probably should like Boardwalk but I might stop watching. I hate all the characters and I find myself on my phone during episodes and I never do that with shows I'm really in to like Breaking Bad.

Never seen Treme. Doesn't appeal to me at all.

10/31/2012 11:56:46 AM

Homeland >> Treme > Dexter > Boardwalk Empire

Homeland has really picked it up.

while true, winning awards doesn't really mean shit when you look at all the fantastic shows/actors who have never won an Emmy

10/31/2012 2:02:53 PM

Dexter stopped being interesting than when it stopped being possible he might get caught
