    And what about.....

    by tvguy4566

    Brotherhood, Dexter, and Californication? Showtime has really surpassed HBO in the original series department and like when HBO dominated 5 years ago, it isn't even close.

    This season of Weeds is incredible...

    by danielkurland

    The fifth episode was particularly strong. I just love it when long running shows find new life and become reinvigorated in their fourth and fifth years.

    Brotherhood Sucks

    by plasmaorb

    Tried watching it.. got through 3 episodes and i was bored as hell.
    The pacing is bad and you dont care about the characters at all.. they arent that engaging.

    Weeds and Dexter are the best shows on Showtime I think.
    Couldnt really get into the other shows at all, even with renting them from Netflix after they showed.

    I hope it's Alice

    by necgray

    The L Word is amazing, and Alice is the best character on it.

    by skimn

    Caught up on season 3 on DVD. Don't know if I can wait till next summer for season 4. Is it downloadable anywhere. I don't want to spend for Showtime for one series.

    by rosebuddy

    Rule! The rest don't matter. Californication's good for one-liners. Roger;over.
