HBO has a lot of quality shows, not just GoT.

There are 100's of quality shows available many ways on cable, GOT is only available this way.
Planning to watch Vinyl as well once I reactivate.

Paying for Netflix as well, my little girls need their daily Full House fix.

Summer is coming, not much tv watching then anyway.

I go back and forth between whether I hate him more or the Red Woman more


The Red Woman.
stupid.. bad word, bad word bad word, doing what she did to the person I can't mention because of spoilers, but stupid bad word, and Stannis just.. GAH! BAD. WORD.

EXACTLY! That thing you're talking about made her go from enemy #2 to tied for #1. I really hope she dies horrifically

I really don't like how they handled that. It's a foregone conclusion that it will happen in TWOW (at least that's the general consensus), but it will likely happen the other way around. Why would someone who has given longterm grudging devotion suddenly order it instead of the devout? Could I sound any more vague?

Watched Vinyl and Billions, ok, but not tremendous. AMC punches above its weight with Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Walking Dead, FTWD, Hell on Wheels I think.

Strike Back
Boardwalk Empire
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Sopranos
The Wire

HBO has an excellent back catalogue of shows. AMC is great too. Besides sports, HBO and AMC are almost the only thing I watch.

Is Sopranos back on HBO Canada? Before I cancelled it I started re-watching and they only had up to season 3.

I'll say this. The show's Stannis and the books' Stannis are pretty spot on. That's why the way it went down in the show doesn't really make sense. For four books/seasons, he's built up to be a certain kind of man, but then follows through with an action that is in the complete opposite direction of his character. Desperate times call for desperate measures? For anyone else, maybe. But not for him, and not that way. It's fairly offsetting because it's not something that needed to change to happen (granted the big change in season five didn't really need to happen either in my opinion, but oh well).

Deadwood, Oz were good. True Detective season 1(not 2), Entourage(if you are into that type of show, East Bound and Down, Ballers(new one with the Rock). Just a great network. I think the HBO online thing is getting a price reduction soon. It is probably cheaper than 25 bucks a month on cable.

Always wanted to see Oz, who shows it?

I enjoyed Hell on Wheels but Deadwood was excellent, another level.
