What the beep this show is amazing!

I have never even heard a mention of this show in my life, thank netflix for recommending it. It was so engaging, hilarious, smart, referential but not relying solely on homage for its charm ( I don't know lear for example and season 3 was my favorite). It made me want to dive back into shakespeare, and join a theater company, its love for the medium (even though it was a tv show) was infectious. One of the best shows I've seen. In league for me with the wire, twilight zone, twin peaks, the greats.

welcome to the club! its a true cult favorite as its largely unknown, even in Canada.

this is my 3rd favorite TV show of all time next to The Wire and The West Wing, and recommend it to anyone that will listen.

David Simon's new show Treme is really good too. Not as raw or dark as the wire but has some of the same style of drama and social criticism.

yep, and it should be a requisite for all musicians.
