Anyone been watching Strike Back on Cinemax? It's kinda like an R-rated Bourne meets Bond action packed show.

Yeah I'm thinking about giving up on it, it's just not holding my attention and almost feels like a crappy mix of Stargate and Jurassic Park.

I got that feeling to except it felt a lot more like DS9 without an Avery Brooks level actor. Still it has dinosaurs which you can rarely go wrong with.

Breaking Bad has exceeded The Wire after season 4. It's unbelievably entertaining and well written.

To SS's point about the underrated characters, I think that's one of the hallmarks of great a TV show when the main character(s) aren't driving all the intrigue.

One reason I give Mad Men the slight edge is I can relate to the world of Mad Men (office sex, hard liquor during a midday meeting...no seriously, the actual advertisting/media work) more so than cooking meth

Funny, I can relate to both in some ways. Can't go into details though

But Mad Men is a very, very close second to Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad beats The Wire? Hm, that's bold statement. I might have to check it out.

The Wire is my all-time favorite show.

I watched Breaking Bad but quit halfway thru season 2. Didn't hate it just couldn't really get into it. I'm thinking of starting it up again though...

Mad Men and Breaking Bad seem to be on the same level for me. Both are great TV.

I have tired so many times to get into the Wire and just have not been able too.

I am thinking my next show to start is Sons of Anarchy.

I think it's different strokes, different folks kind of thing. I couldn't get into SOA at all. Seemed too contrived and predictable.

Breaking Bad, The Wire, Mad Men. I like them almost equally.

I fee exactly the same way about everything you said.

I tried watching SOA when it first came on and found it really boring and uninteresting; which is ironic because I love Mad Men but I've heard others complain that it can be boring.

If you guys actually got through the first season of SOA, I'd say give S2 a try. The first season, by far, was the worst- a bit uneven. Then the show turns around in season 2... trust me.
