Everywhere...You never there.
Exactly. nikkas in here acting like they're fukking rocket scientists and intellectuals because they "get" a show about Black people dealing heroin to other Black people :russ:

That’s the thing that gets me like :mjlol: ... and how the fukk can you be a snob using the fukkin Wire as the basis of your snobbery?!!! :mjlol:



Foh.


:camby:


Thread will probably do numbers as it ALWAYS does with the homers going ape shyt with multiple postings defending their darling Wire.

But this Wire shyt is a real chore to sit though.

+1

I tried, but just couldn’t. Maybe I just can’t relate to the shyt. I’ll try to give it another go. Got through the first season maybe 4 years ago but wasn’t hooked.

I'm more surprised at Breaking Bad catching anyone's attention from the go. Breaking Bad to me didn't come out good until it turned into a criminal drama, the beginning when it was threading that pseudo comedy line was pretty bad, and I only stuck with it cause my girl was laughing at them stupid scenes. In fact, I like Breaking Bad because its evolution is one of the most radical ones from a series I remember.

Don't force yourself to watch a show you find boring ---- just like you don't force yourself to read a book that doesn't grab you. Just wasting time.

I hate when ppl post up so convince me to watch such and such or why do y’all like it...nikkas that gotta watch shyt because everyone else is talking about it

If I don’t like a show I turn it off...If it ain’t for me it ain’t for me

Posts like these have me excited. I'm gonna power through. Ray Donovan was boring and mundane as shyt at first. If only I knew the fukkery that was to come :whew:

It's one of my favorite shows now. I understand, in some rare cases, you have to be patient with a show. I was expecting instant gratification because of how much I see the show praised everywhere. I guess this will be a slow burn. Thanks for the input breh. Truly appreciated. .

I liked Ryan Donovan a little bit but it was weird

Prostitute parties and racist writing

Bmore stand up!
Where did I say that? nikka. I've watched waaaaay more complex and intricate shows than some project nikkas in Baltimore dealing heroin. If the shyt is boring, it's boring. I have people in here agreeing with me, so obviously I'm not alone. I said I'm gonna give the arc time to build and I'm gonna stick it out. Damn. What more you nikkas want from me?:what:
Well when u watch more of the series you will see it’s about more than just “project nikkas in Baltimore dealing heroin” you will see that yes it starts with that, yes....but then they move on to the corrupt police force, and then the ship yard and the dirty drama behind that shyt, then the failed publicschool system, corrupt politicians and the. The Baltimore sun newspaper.. it’s about soooo much more than that and it gets DEEP.and if u and 5 other cool guys think it’s boring, maybe y’all just don’t have great taste .... the show has been called one of the best since the year 2000. And there a ton of truth behind the show. I just feel like u jumped to conclusions on the show too soon

The Wire slowly introduces all the major players which is the Feds, politicians, and the streets then it all comes together.

I rewatched the entire series last week and I never realized how slow and boring the first season was but you will like it once it all comes together.

The show foretells or retells things happening/has happened today. Pryzbylewski represents everything we see going on right now with these incompetent ass cops. That show was :whew:

Don't forget Herc is a problem too, to concerned with stats and knocking nikkas heads off. At the end of season 1 it's like why Carver did Herc like that bit when you get down to it Carver was better for it. Prez at least was good in office just dont ever give him a gun he at least had the office work as a redeeming quality. Herc had zero redeeming qualities.
Come on now brehs, at least write *SPOILER ALERT*
:mjgrin:

OP is still in Season 1. Don’t steal the beauty of it! Let the breh enjoy it

:ohhh:

It's boring me to sleep. I'm through the first 6 episodes and it's not immediately catching my attention like Breaking Bad or Boardwalk Empire or The Sopranos did. They show the Police too much and the shyt is super predictable and boring. It's supposed to be one of the best series ever and I really wanna give it a chance. I know everyone has seen it, so tell me. Does it start to pick up, or is it like this the entire series?? No trolls please. Looking for serious answers of people who have seen the series..
Season 2 is one of the most boring seasons in television history. It was a fukking chore to get through. Season 5 was ass cheeks too. Only season 4 was good imo
