Which Boxed Set To Buy?

[+ Lucky]

The idea of watching an entire series of a TV show at once appeals to me far more than watching one show a week, so how should I take advantage of Borders' 40% off boxed sets coupon? It's only good today.

 

I've read here, I think, that Skins is a good one, but which season is better? Dexter? The Henry VIII show- again, which season?

 

Thanks from me, and maybe from Borders.

The Wire. The best thing ever to hit tv.

Skins first season is the best. The second season was awful.

I'd go for "Dexter". Despite all the gore, I have this thing for Michael C. Hall.

So many boxes, so little time

 

Depends on your taste, of course.

The Tudors is wonderful, and the first season was a total hoot. Imagine a young, slim & muscled Henry VIII cavorting in the buff with various ladies. There's also a gay subplot involving a courtly musician and a nobleman. And many of the young men in this series are worth more than a second look, especially Henry Cavill, who plays the Duke of Suffolk. Yum!

I love Dexter, and thought the first season was the best, but all three on DVD are great.

Mad Men - this is my current favorite for season-long DVD viewing - the first two seasons are available.

As to older times - Six Feet Under is definitely worth a look-in if you don't have it, Oz was quite powerful (with lots of situational gay content), and The Wire is awesome.

Id go with Dexter or supernatural, or season one of true blood

[NoahDriver]

I would go with true blood season one.. Hot, sexy show. You will not be able to stop watching!

I have to second "Dexter." It's all a matter of taste, but I got hooked on this one.

The coupon was good until midnight. I learned that Skins was available only online and the coupon good only in the store. So, I bought The Tudors.

... So, I bought The Tudors.

 

When may I borrow it?

Soon!

Tudors and Skins

 

The Tudors has turned out to be very entertaining. I am aware that historical accuracy gave way to a quest for ratings, but I do like the show.

 

As for Skins, I got Season 1, Disc 1 from Netflix. The boys are cute, but too young. In which season do they look more grown up? Beyond that, I can only understand half of what they are saying.

Never, as soon as the second season is over they refresh the show with a whole new cast.

Thanks socalboy2283. I won't get another Skins disc then.
