The Wire The Greatest TV Series Ever

[SteelCitySoldier]

Bruhs on everything I love I got my wife hooked on this shyt. The other night I just randomly said fukk it and started watching season 4. Fell asleep and went to run some errands and shyt, came home and she was on episode 9!!!

I always would tell her about it and she would say "doesn't sound interesting" but right now she in the living room watching episode 11.

It's hilarious watching this with someone who never watched...just wish I had started on season on instead of four

Next time I rewatch Sopranos it'll be #1 then I'll rewatch the Wire and that'll be #1, but yeah the idea of Breaking Bad even being in the convo is

Mad Men haf too but also a lot of in there

Breaking bad has a case legit for top 5 status simply because seasons 3, 4 and 5, especially 5 were so incredible. I think we can all agree that from all the shows we vote top 5, breaking bad clearly ended the best.

I agree. After re-watching the series again, the writing and character development alone puts this series at number 1 in my book. The fact that they were able to accomplish this with a mostly minority cast is amazing. I tried to watch the new episode of Power after watching season one and had the face the entire time that power was on. It also goes to show how great the show was due to the fact that many of their characters have gone on to play lead in many other series.

The Wire is my favorite of all time easily hand down. But I can understand why some ppl may not have it at top.

The wire is written so well with great attention to detail and Many easter eggs you don't pick up till after 20ctimes watching. But for some ppl this can be a negative can some seasons or episodes can be an overload of detail and be too slow. And some ppl don't wanna wait for the pay off. Or the pay off is in the detail they miss it.

Like some jus see Omar gettin killed randomly by a kid and see oh wow live by the gun by it. And may nt realize earlier in show kennard was watchin Omar shootouts and mimicking him saying im omar playing.

While a breaking bad only had a couple slow episodes even and gives quick instant to see action and drama. If the wire writtens and producers were to do breaking bad u wld see more detail to backgrounds and upbringing of Skylar and her sister.

More on gray matter and shyt too

D - My mama always said Don’t let them get to cooking. Once they’re in the kitchen, ain’t nothing left to do but give ‘em a key to your house.

When Michael was beating the shyt outta Kenard and the one dude yells out "Hey look at that little nikka getting his ass beat"

I just rewatched this and it's the first time I felt terrible for all three of them. I used to feel a sense of pride in watching Mike make strides towards being a cold hearted street nikka, I used to laugh at Kenard for getting his ass beat after stealing and lying and I used to be disgusted with Namond for being soft.

Now as a middle aged man, I see three children who had their innocence devoured by a predatory environment and are maneuvering the best they can with little to no strong positive guidance.

It's been about 4 years. I think I'll rewatch the series now, with new eyes.


Even season 2.

Just rewatched it for at least the 20th time. Got a bit emotional during the final video montage.
