I gotta say between Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead, AMC has been kicking some ass lately. I find these shows to be superior to anything going on HBO right now. Yes, that includes the seriously overrated In Treatment, Treme, and Boardwalk Empire, and the utterly unfunny Hung, Bored to Death, East Bound and Down, and Entourage.

I think you're right, AMC is the winner in this matchup of the two best stations. I'm actually a little surprised. AMC seems to be four for four, although I did stop watching Rubicon part of the way through the first season. I still plan to re-visit it though. I suppose this means we should put The Killing, due in 2011, on our collective radar. http://www.amctv.com/originals/the-killing/about/

Boardwalk Empire is pretty great, though.
I don't understand how there will more than 1 season of The Killing. It's based on a single murder case. Slow and methodical (and dull) was Rubicon's downfall, I don't see how The Killing can be anything other than slow and methodical.

Showtime should be in this discussion as well for Californication and Dexter, it's not the same as those 2 but a few more shows like that and it could be.

I think the Showtime shows are more "fun," and less.. I dont know. Dexter is good, but its always been silly. Showtime shows never have had the intensity of a Treme or Boardwalk Empire.
