[Martinf]

New channel on Sky starts on Feb 1st. It will be showing Boardwalk Empire but also repeating great shows like The Wire and The Sopranos. Should be good. Anyone else tuning in?

Its HBO isn't it?

I wonder if it will appear on Virgin sometime

 

[brakespear]

Looking forward to this.

I am still to watch any of The Wire and The Sopranos!

 

[Davey Boy Smith]

The fact that it will be the home of Mad Men means I will definitely be watching

 

[Martinf]

Looking forward to this.

I am still to watch any of The Wire and The Sopranos!

The Sopranos is brilliant but The Wire is better IMO. Critics also saying good things about Boardwalk Empire as well.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Boardwalk Empire looks like it will be AMAZING. Rumour has it they spent 20+ million $ on the pilot episode?

The Sopranos is brilliant but The Wire is better IMO. Critics also saying good things about Boardwalk Empire as well.

Cheers!

Im like ClippedG so now defo looking forward to all of the shows.

There's a programme coming up on there in a few months called Game Of Thrones which sounds quite decent too.

 

[Easy 10]

Anything with Steve Buscemi in is superb.

FACT.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

I downloaded Boardwalk Empire just after release in America. Its a good series and the first episode is great. It also stars Steven Graham as Al Capone. Its worth watching.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Everything this channel plans on showing, I want to watch.

Compensate me, Virgin! Make Dave Virgin only, that'll teach the Sky lot.

 

[Jerryatric]

Hopefully it will get all the American crap off the main channels.

 

[Martinf]

Hopefully it will get all the American crap off the main channels.

The Wire beats any crime drama that the UK has ever produced IMO. Agreed - there's a lot of tosh that comes from the States but also a lot of good stuff too.

From the creator of the Wire, its all about

Just watched first part, can see how it was a costly production. looking forward to watching the series over next few days. will be worth the wait for those watching on sky. As has been said, Steve Buscemi always worth a watch
