In Reply to: TV drama, today, that rivals the best films of today? posted by tinear on December 23, 2008 at 22:21:17:
Also HBO recommended, Band Of Brothers, Deadwood and Rome. These are stories that just can't be told in 1.5-3 hours. Ditto, on Showtime, Dexter, (in three years, has become a classic). Weeds is a hilarious Showtime Black Comedy that can hold its own with some Coen brothers offerings.
The movie going experience is still #1 for me, but for sheer dramatic value, those 5 listed can hold their own with the best of theater presented dramas IMHO.
Do I have to spell it out?
