This is spot on. Pretty much how I feel about everything.

It was/is still one of the best ******* programmes I have EVER seen. First saw it when it started when I was on holiday in the states back in 1997 and PRAYED that one day we would get it over here. And then we did. I think I've missed all of about 3 episodes out of the entire series. If I had the money I would gladly by the entire box set. PHENOMENAL acting, writing, directing you name it. Not a single mediocre episode out of the entire lot and how many shows can say that? Not even the mighty Sopranos. I don't watch much in the way of shows and I realise there are still great shows being made, but this for me is in my top 3 of all time next to The Twilight Zone and The Sopranos.

As for my favourite character, I'd have to say Beecher because you just felt so sorry for the guy - even though he wasn't innocent, he was still the good guy and the one struggling to retain his humanity amidst the abject horror of his situation. And the way they ended the series with his character and Chris was just jaw dropping.

Damnit, I NEED this box set in my life.

Good looking out lone, mate

Oh man! Keller really screwed Beecher on that one. I remember the part where Shillinger and Chris broke his arms and legs. When Beecher was released from the prison hospital, and he was back in his pod filing his nails, I never thought too much about it, until he killed Metzger! What a way to die. Talk about sweet revenge.
 
i really like this show too. i only ever watched the first 3 seasons though. id like to finish it someday, but its been so long i feel like i would have to start from the beginning again. adebisi is a crazy character. i think the last major thing i remember seeing was when the muslim guy killed him.

Honestly mate, put it on your to must do list to watch the rest some day, you will NOT regret it. I can't even pick a best season because as I said up above, there wasn't a single dire episode out the lot. Some of the honeysuckle they got away with, HBO or not, made my jaw drop more than once. NOT a programme for the squeamish or easily offended and then some.

The last season, especially the episodes leading up to it, were just powerhouse entertainment. Especially the last episode.

Total props to the creators of that show and to HBO. TV with MAJOR BALL BALLS.
 
thats why i liked it. they didnt seem afraid to do anything and a main character could die out of nowhere. many surprises just in the first 3 seasons that i watched. many good actors giving great performances. one day i will get back to it. i wish they would put it on netflix instant, but i know thats just wishful thinking.
 
I saw a "Behind The Scenes" vid once where they were talking with the man who played Ryan O'Reilley. Dean Winters is his real name I believe. He said to the camera man: "...Man, I wouldn't last 5 minutes in prison.."

I know that he's just an actor, but after getting to know him so long as O'Reilly, it was weird to hear that remark. lol
 
I can't think of a more perfect song. This one really brings out the loneliness and ends with hope and encouragement.
