I'm already looking forward to seeing the direction that the second series takes things.<br /><br />I think one of my favourite moments from the end of the first season, other than that powerful murder, is the final shot of Omar, who is fast becoming one of my favourite characters on the show, which could be alot down to how threatening he is without even trying.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-27121995582914514692010-05-25T18:30:49.265-07:002010-05-25T18:30:49.265-07:00Great post about what in my opinion, is simply the...Great post about what in my opinion, is simply the best television show in history. I got super lucky and grabbed the complete series on DVD for only $89 last year during a one-day Amazon sale and have already surfed through it for a second time. Most importantly, I'm proud to have convinced a few friends to also give it a chance which I consider something of a duty.<br /><br />You make a great point about the difficulty in latching onto that first season. One really has to make an effort to watch the first four episodes or so in a row, and it's not really until the end of Season 1 (and one of the most effective murder scenes ever) where you realize ou're watching something truly great.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.com
