Breaking Bad was ok. The Sopranos/Wire are way better.

making my way through Season 4 and every episode is still great.

I took a forensic science class in college and they had a lot of guest speakers from the local police department. When we had a detective over answering questions somebody asked him what the most realistic depiction of policework on television was, he said "the wire" and me and only like two other people in the class had even seen it.

But when the blood spatter expert visited the entire class was asking Dexter questions :ughh:

I liked the part where McNulty, who is played by a British actor, goes undercover as an Englishman and has basically the worst most unconvincing accent ever put on film. It was funny.

The fact that Simon went from making the greatest show ever to his boring circlejerk about how great New Orleans is is disappointing but at the same time understandable because there's really no way he could top the wire so why not just make whatever the hell he wants on HBO's dime

Just looked it up and if your on season 4 you've watched at least 38 hours of wire this week probably more that seems a bit excessive tbh

He did do The Corner miniseries which was pretty good. That was pre-Wire, though.

nope the wire is the best television gets

you can spend a lot of time arguing about how the wire is as good as other shows but there is no saying that any show is better than the wire

When I was marathoning the entire series I watched 2-3 episodes per day. Binge watching is far superior then watching one episode and then having to wait a week for the next one like a pleb.

Spoiler: season 5 is really bad and a show praised for realism and deep characters has a criminal profiler who perfectly deduces the personality of a (fake) serial killer and the newspaper office has both a perfect monologuing self-insert and an evil lying reporter with no redeeming qualities
