The funny thing is, I expected it to be like "Dead Like Me" and you know,it's not. But I've enjoyed it once I've forgiven it for not being a wacky mortuary comedy...I'm still not sure if I'll watch them all or not. Because I can sort of see the haters' point and because nothing can live up to all that acclaim. Except The Wire...The Wire deserves everything. (Ok, I've done my duty as a fake literary spouse.)

What lisah said.

I loved the ones with Keith's smart-aleck niece, though. She was great.

The one where they were scoping out the competition and Brenda came in with her head wrapped in that scarf made me lose it. She often irritated me, but man what a ball it must have been for Rachel Griffiths to play a character who would do anything.

That must have been fun for her, yeah.

Lisa and Tom speak for me, too. I think I've seen almost every single episode (mainly because my wife loved the show), but I rolled my eyes constantly through almost all of them.

Sometimes I really enjoy that. Mocking stuff. Although I do get the urge to be all "English, motherfucker, English!" when they think they're really Significant.

But I do that. Much as I found out I like The West Wing, I still think it needs Clay Davis to clap Rob Lowe on the shoulder and say "Sheeit. Sam Seaborn, my favorite whiteboy." Because we didn't get where we are in a power struggle between high-minded professionals, you know? (And I could watch that actor be slimy all day.)

I'm still, after watching every episode, not sure if I like it or not.

Well, that's not inspiring confidence!

The characters are well-drawn, I think. Sometimes I like one, sometimes another, they all take turns being idiots and bastards and woobies, kind of.

Hm.

I loved 6FU, because I'm inclined to like a show where somebody dies at the start of every show

Hee. The TWoP recapper instituted a Start-to-Corpse number to aid in grading each episode (the lower the number of seconds, the higher the grade)

I think I've seen almost every single episode (mainly because my wife loved the show), but I rolled my eyes constantly through almost all of them.

I...hope I like the show? I have a friend who really loves it and has been on me to watch it for ages.

Well, sometimes pimps are right. I'd never have braved Deadwood or The Wire without mine(Which cocksuckers post upthread...heng mai) Because I thought "Westerns? Drugs?" "Ew..." But that was really dumb.

For context, I'm also not sure if I like James Joyce.

I'm glad I watched it, fwtw. It was not a waste of time, I like knowing about the characters and their stories, though there was some eye-rolling along the way and I don't think it deserves as much praise as it has gotten, necessarily. It's not The Wire, y'know?

I really hate the opening credits.

But it's good.
