I made it through 3 seasons. It was good thus far, yet I wondered "why all the hype?". It didn't get close to the Sopranoes at that point. Does it get better with the 4th onwards?
"The Wire" is said to be fantastic. I do not understand every second sentence in the original though because of slang. Does anyone know, if the german dub is any good?

tragically, even some english-speakers put the subtitles on when watching The Wire. at least you have an excuse for subtitles. just let the slang flow over you until you pick it up
After the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey, his secretary, Thomas Cromwell, finds himself amongst the treachery and intrigue of King Henry VIII's court and soon becomes a close advisor to the King, a role fraught with danger.
Interesting and great portrayal of roles by actors
I am still watching Wolf Hall and the last episode is next week. A simply great little TV series, If you like Tudor/costume dramas, this is for you!
The actor Mark Rylance playing Thomas Cromwell - a great performance
On local TV here The Block and Survivor Australia are set to finish soon so I am really looking forward to some other stuff.
My short list of series in no particular order to catch up on are
Westworld
A Place to Call Home
12 Monkeys
Game of Thrones
War and Peace
The Kettering Incident

Story wise i didn't think there'd be enough material to go beyond season 2 though... surprising to hear about 3 & 4.
I would say it doesn't necessarily have to follow Pablo and the Medellin Cartel. I would guess the next seasons will involve the other cartels that rose up to fill the void.
