[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]98% on Rotten Tomatoes, 9+ on IMDB and only 5-star ratings on Amazon, plus hot young athletes? Yah, I am watching this tonight. Thanks for bringing this show up, DCUM. [/quote]

FWIW, I think the show has such high ratings because it's having a viral moment. It was a fine show with some phenomenal acting and a nice story line but it's not The Wire. [/quote]

Not a fan of The Wire & Breaking Bad. I don’t enjoys depressing shows. Love Heated Rivalry. It’s a beautiful story, beautifully shot and executed. I like that it’s indie and low budget. The sex scenes are surprisingly very hot.

I hate it when people think like you (no offense to you personally) and smart people at that. It means you understand nothing about great drama if you find it merely “depressing”. 
Even more sad is the fact that you don’t understand how this show is mediocre in terms of dramatic effect. It’s a high quality music video with erotic elements and that’s it.

I do understand that The Wire is a much higher quality dramatic TV show. Still, I don’t enjoy watching The Wire. After a stressful day, I like to watch something entertaining at night. It’a great that we all like different things.[/quote]

It's almost like you can't follow a thread with your PhD. The point of bringing up The Wire was to say that this show's ratings on Rotten Tomatoes are not indicative of its quality, but of something else. I don't think anyone said it wasn't an entertaining show, the point is that it's not as deep or as much of a social commentary or as high-quality as some people are saying. That doesn't make it enjoyable to watch. Does that make sense to you?[/quote]
