No and dont expet it anytime soon if ever. This show was never shot in HD...The show was shown on HBOHD using a line doubler that increased the quality of the picture.
Simon has stated that he decided
not to go to the HD 16:9 format to keep the show linear throughout the 5 seasons. I kind of understand where he is coming from as the show definitely has a certain look to it. I have a feeling much like "The Shield" this show was shot in 16:9, but framed for a 4:3 picture. If they expanded the shot to 16:9 it might ruin the "feel" of some of the scenes. If you have seen the comparison shots of the 16:9 Shield and 4:3 Shield, you can see that some of the feel of the shots was lost.
While I would love to have it in HD, I do not have any of my hopes up due to the past interviews. This show is one of the best ever hands down and recently I have been getting many people hooked.
