Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Film buffs Diedrich Diedrichsen, Daniel Eschkötter, and Simon Rothöhler have done what you should’ve done a long time ago: they sat down to seriously reflect on what they saw on TV, and wrote a little something about the now-mainstream awesomeness of HBO or NBC classics such as The Wire (Eschkötter), The Sopranos (Diedrichsen) and The [...]
