Danny Trejo is supposed to be in Season 4. He's an ultimate bad guy!

Just started watching this show a few days ago, and I'm already through 2+ seasons! I think it's great, one of my new favourite shows, I'd put it up there with Breaking Bad (though slightly below with regards to overall quality) as the two best drama's currently on television (though if Game of Thrones continues to be as good as it has been, could be a three way race before long).

I've just finished the 5th episode of season 1 and am having a hard time deciding if i want to invest any more time into this garbage. Does all the unnecessary dramatic crap stop eventually, or does the mother of the main character stick around for good?

It took me a good year to finish the first season. I hated it, but it does get better. There is one character (Stahl) that I hate, but it does improve and is worth watching.

Seriously? FX has some of the best TV shows on television. Outside HBO and AMC, FX has by far the best line-up.

Yeah you're right. I was thinking about showtime, though from what I've seen from FX (The Shield, SOA) I'm not a fan of it either. I'm going to give SOA atleast a season though since biker gangs are so bad ass.

You didn't like the Shield?? I've honestly haven't run into someone who at least didn't like it a little bit. The Shield was unreal TV.

I tried watching it after I had just finished The Wire for the first time and it was like switching from drinking champagne to drinking toilet wine. With The Wire it was easy to forget you were watching television and with The Shield it was hard to forget that you were. The one taxi scene in the first season of Louis was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while though, so I'll probably give all these FX shows another try this summer with a more open mind.

You should check out Justified with Timothy Olyphant. He makes that show awesome and he is in almost every scene.

Justified is awesome as well. I really wish we had FX in Canada, it sucks to have to wait for these shows to air.

Anyone watching this season? It is great so far. I like the new cast additions. Dany Trijo (sp?) is awesome.

Yes! Haven't watched last night's episode yet. Still trying to get used to Jax's short hair.
Did you know "Chucky" (the masturbator) is an accomplished artist in real life? And that Scott Glenn was supposed to play "Clay"?

Kurt also played Margos, that crazy Armenian with the foot fetish in the Shield.

The guy with no fingers is an accomplished artist and the guy in prison with the voice box is the guy that started the Hells Angels.
