The Wire is a show for leftists (i.e c.ucks). If you support it then you'd be more at home on reddit. This is a ring wing "problematic" board for right wing "problematic" men to enjoy right wing "problematic" shows and movies. Not "le ghetto philosophy" "muh white institutions" "dey dindo nuffin".

how about watch something because its entertaining rather than getting angry at it because of your political beliefs?

>>62675331
The Wire spends too much time on exposition to be entertaining.

they have to explain basically every single thing to the viewer.

i quite liked season 1

season 2 was shit

started season 3 and just couldnt be bothered

every week is black people HE DIN DU MUFFIN and mcnulty getting drunk and one of the numerous black polcie officers higher up telling the skinny african bean looking black cop in charge of the unit that they cant listen to the drug dealers phones. so high tech

Politics should be at the forefront of your mind whenever you watch anything. Whether it furthers white genocide is a far more important issue than your meaningless subjective "fun level". It is capeshit enabler to think otherwise.

but you stupid conservatives just don't understand! it's the racist white power structures of the previous generations that got us into this mess!

there are corrupt black people in the show too!!! (but they're only bad because the POWERSTRUCTHURES force them to be!!!)

There was much more going on than that on the wire. With the sopranos it was just Tony bitching to his therapist about his mom. Tony being at odds with someone from his crew. Camilla being mistreated, lonely and taken for granted. Aj being a misfit and a loser. Meadow being a sjw. Oh and gabagoo! How does the story of a dysfunctional mob family make for more compelling television than a story about a drug plague eating away at the heart of a city and all the different players involved?
>>
>>62675030
I was in hospital for over a month, motorbike accident.
I watched both the Sopranos and the Wire b2b (i've seen them both before).
I MUCH prefer The Wire.

It's just a better show. Not that the Sopranos is bad. It's just the Wire is so well written and made. It's almost perfect.
>>
Is the blu ray still in 4:3?

>>62675724
The Sopranos went over your head completely. It's an exploration of the nature of humanity more akin to Kubrick's 2001 than some family drama.

Sopranos is better is a way that I'm probably not patrician enough to explain.

Something about it seems more tragic, full, timeless.
>>
>>62675133
>The Wire is a show for leftists (i.e c.ucks)

I know your post is bait and you're only pretending to be retarded by how is it a show for leftists in any way? It basically just shows how niggers are stuck in a perpetual state of crime and being uneducated and nothing we do can change that. They elected a democratic mayor who was supposed to save the city and ended up making shit much worse.
>>
lol. The Wire is babbies first "whoa this has subtext" show/movie. It's better than most TV, but in comparison to The Sopranos, its thematic portrayal is hamfisted and repetitive, the thematic scope is limited, the characterization is mostly simplistic (the characters being more so vessels to convey the theme, rather than lifelike 3 dimensional people), and the show doesn't have much to say that applies outside its immediate setting and subject matter.

The Sopranos is in a league of its own.
>>
>>62675929
Being a white supremacist is a pretty shitty prerequisite for using a website that's owned by a Japanese man and has multiple boards about Japanese culture. I can't say you're wrong, though.

Just as I suspected, you didn't understand The Sopranos, unlike The Wire, which beat you over the head with its themes, so you didn't have trouble understanding it.

More like "niggers gona nig because white institutions".

Also if you're serious about white sumremacism the very idea of willingly looking at a black on a television show is an act of huge self debasement. Why should a beautiful intelligent white man look at degenerate black people in his free time? Especially a piece of media that expects you to empathize with them.

No, if you don't hate the wire then you are a pleb. If you're dumb enough to like the wire then you are definitely not smart enough to genuinely understand The Sopranos. You are the memer. Shaping his "opinions" to gather as many reddit gold upvotes while sitting on the fence as much as possible. You are infantile about television.
>>
I don't understand why TV shows get compared all the fucking time, I could understand it based on a very similar thematic or characterization but it's actually a comparison solely based on acclaimed shows, just like that.

I don't see constant discussion comparing The Godfather with Citizen Kane, or any universally acclaimed film for that matter. Most of the time, they get discussed on their own qualities rather than mindlessly comparing them with something entirely different.
>>
>>62675030
This thread convinced me 60% of /tv/ are pleb cross poster from /pol/ and /v/.
The Wire is a great show, seasons 1 to 4 were 10/10 and eventhough S05 wasn't as good as the orevious seasons it still is great television.

I guess you have a point, but I didn't personally take that from it (even if that's what they meant). Doesn't change that there are a lot of people out there that believe it. Know your enemy and all that.

I'm sure many variations of this joke/story has been told, but it was reported to me as true:

>grandfather-in-law gets a color TV
>one of the first in the neighborhood
>asks his dad if he wants to come over and watch
>he replies with "Why in the hell would I want to come over and watch colored TV? I see enough of them niggers on the streets!
>>
>>62676553
You can remove Twin Peaks, The Shield and True Detective right off the bat. I'll give Six Feet Under the benefit of the doubt but only because I haven't seen it.


Mad Men and Deadwood seem like the only other shows are even come close to the conversation.
>>
>>62676625
What's wrong with The Shield? My only complaint is that Season 4 was a bit slow and Season 1 felt like a carbon copy of Homicide: Life on the Street.

Come on man, I'm as racist as the next guy but what you're saying is pants on head retarded. I can still hate niggers and mexicans and enjoy shows like the Wire and Breaking Bad that really highlight how subhuman these people are.

Download it and watch the whole series immediately. I can guarantee that everyone on this board who watched the finale cried their eyes out, it might be the best television episode of all time.

I am enjoying it so far as well, but adding it to a list of the greatest shows of all time based on the quality of a season that isn't even finished yet is just knee jerk praise for your current flavor of the month. Season 1 was entertaining in a shallow kind of way but essentially just juvenile pretend Coens. 2 is better so far but too early to praise to that degree. These "quality" shows with movie level acting and cinematopgrahy are 10 a penny now. You need to do more than look good, have good acting and entertain me in the moment to be genuinely "Great". Fargo is a show that get's eaten up and then people move on to the next "prestige" product.
>>
>>62677011
Yep, pretty much this
>>
>>62676865
Literally nothing edgy about that. I've watched enough TV to no longer be impressed. "Quality" is just a series of memes, a formula to be adheared to. Even good "entertainment" shows are boring once you've seen it all before.

I loved Homicide: Life on the Street and I know some of its writers worked on The Wire. How does it fare in comparison?
>>
About to finish The Wire, is Twin Peaks worth watching? I like Lynch but I'm not a massive fan of surrealism and I think I remember hearing that S2 was a bit of a mess..
>>
>>62677557
not really
season 1 is great and pretty short
but season 2 is way too long due to filler episodes and its plagued with retarded subplots
>>
>>62677557
Only watch Season 1 and 1/3 of Season 2
>>
>>62677506
I also loved Homicide: Life on the Street. I think The Wire is better.
>>
>>62677506
It's like a more modern Homicide with profanity. A lot more consistent in terms of episode quality, too.

Also, Season 5 has quite a bit of Homicide fanservice.

>>62677557
Watch all of it, just make sure you're constantly inebriated starting with S02E10 and it'll be slightly less painful.
