Absolutely...
I did not have HBO so I never saw it. Most of my friends watched or taped it weekly.
The night of the finalie my BFF had a party. She gave me a brief outline and told me I was invited to the party but not to talk or ask questions while it was on. Of course, I did not understand then what was happening.
I got all the DVDs and watched and loved it. Then I got into reruns. If there is a marathon I will watch, otherwise the show is on very late for me now.
All the acting was good and with so many story lines almost everyone could relate to something over the years.
Enjoy.
