The great thing about the following seasons is they're generally different (except 3 which is close to season 1) so everyone has their favs. My personal favorite was 4.

Deep down I think I prefer The Bill.

I dunno, I wouldn't fancy Omar's chance against a sober and up for it Frank Burnside.

Michael K. Williams is a great actor, I know he stood out in "The Wire"

 

and he's one of my favorite characters in "Boardwalk Empire".

Not that it's an either/or but I think I prefer The Sopranos. Although I did think season 2 of the Wire (about the dock workers) was amazing.

i really used to like the sopranos but what i loved about the wire (one of the things anyway ) was that there were no central heroes-- it was like early eisenstein in a way. yes you follow these characters they do their thing but the story is not about their individual hollywood selves, it's about the whole city... i loved it until the end. the sopranos is about the same people, over & over & over, the wire is about baltimore.

The Wire is my favourite TV show ever.

Last year I spend and intense week when I sat through all the 5 episodes ... Hell, I barely went to work that week.
To save words, it's just brilliant and everyone who hasn't seen it yet, should do so immediately. So many complex and unpredictable characters, so many plot twists, such an intense atmosphere and such a RAW touch of reality that this series is so famous for ...

All in the game yo ... all in the game.

watched the season premiere of Mad Men. It was boring. 2 hours of not much. Draper's going to hell.

Watched the first episode of season 3 of Game of Thrones too. That was boring too. too much yackity yack. I need to see the second episode tonite. maybe it got better?

I swore an oath to Mario that I would never watch any more shows about doctors, cops, or lawyers. That is why I have not watched WIRE.

proposition: you should swear an oath to marLo, then, that you will do yourself a favor and watch the wire.

when you do (you should,) remember: DUCK OR BLACK-EYED PEAS? EH?????

[LifeDistortion]

Boardwalk Empire is great, possibly my favorite show currently on. I don't think I've ever watched an episode that bored me. I hear its not the ratings blockbuster HBO wants it to be, but the show really in my opinion is in a league all its own.

I watched the first two eps of Floorwalker empire and it was so boring!!!!!!! I gave up

[h8kurdt]

You don't have much patience do you?

[Rob Instigator]

Not with TV or movies. They need to grab me right away. I treat TV and movies like short stories. Every sentence needs to move the plot along. In novels it is different, because you lose yourself for hours and hours in a book. with TV shows, I only can give it one or two hours, and if it does not pique my interest by then, then what's the point? There's always something else to watch.

Look at Game of Thrones. They have to cut out maybe 80% of the books because TV does not allow for long exposition, narration, character study, etc. It all needs to be done quickly and fairly superficially. game of Thrones got me hooked right away.

[!@#$%!]

dude, you're missing out!

i'd say "more for me" but tv doesn't work that way, ha ha ha.

Exactly the same for me, but I've read that it's gotten better and better so I'll try again.
