I'm about halfway through season 2 and this show is freaking hilarious. Anyone else seen the show? No spoilers please!
I haven't watched it.  I think I need to put it on my to watch list.

Same thing happened to me with Breaking Bad.  I missed it while it was still airing, but binged watched it on Netflix after the series was over because everyone recommended it.
Great show. Watched in through a few years ago. Right now I'm watching The Wire for the first time on the HBO streaming service.

I highly recommend it. Very funny show, I still need to watch Breaking Bad. I only saw the first season of it.

I really want to see The Wire but I don't have HBO. I just have Netflix Amazon+ and Hulu.
Arrested Development was a brilliant show. The Netflix series was not awesome in my opinion, but the original series was great. Witty, great timing, just perfectly executed.

Breaking Bad was increasingly dark but also a magnificent story arc for the characters and as wild as it was in terms of being believable, I found it plausible enough start to finish that it didn't distract me and it really sucked me in.

I've been watching it on Netflix. Im on the second season, I think it says 5 seasons total. Which ones were the original and which seasons were made from Netflix.
To add to the choir, arrested development is a great show. The original three seasons, that is.

As for the Wire, this is tough for non-natives really. But also a great show.

The first 3 seasons were the originals (on Fox).  Then they came back 6 or 7 years later with a 4th season on Netflix and I didn't even finish it.  A couple of years ago there was a 5th (and probably final) season Netflix also released and I never bothered to watch it at all.  The original three is where it's at IMHO.  Maybe it's because I was in college when the originals came out and it meant something different, maybe it was the quality.  That's a really big gap in age and the world, either way.  I can still go back and watch the originals any time and love them, and season 1 and 2 especially were perfect.

I was fortunate, a friend of mine had the series on DVD. So you could try to befriend him, which isn't all that easy, he is quite demanding and a whole ocean blocks your charms. What you could do is choose a semi-legal (at best) option on the internet, but I would of course never openly suggest that to a judge. A PM could allow me to expand though.

I'm on season 3 episode 8 right now. It's getting good, just dreading finishing the season. Sad Such a funny show.
