Internet Citizen Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Aye season 3 was my favourite too. Like Jaggy says above it has a lot of pay offs and the first time I watched it it felt like a return 'home' to the characters i knew in season 1. Season 3 for me as well. The slow demise of Barksdale is great viewing. The scene with Avon and Stringer on the balcony, especially. When anyone I know asks for recommendations I instantly go to The Wire. I'm like a broken record but it really is that good, and I, probably unfairly, measure everything against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanMc99 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 greatest show ever made, started watching series 1 again the other night. it's genius and nothing will ever compare to it in my opinion just because it's real, it's not over the top nonsense. will be lucky if there is ever another show anywhere near as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been waiting 10 years for a show to come along that can even remotely tie the wires shoe laces. Starting to think it will never happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradHorse Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 You should check out David Simon's latest project, The Deuce. Has a very Wirey feel to it. I absolutely love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Agree BH great show. Still not a patch on The Wire however. Far to Hollywood. The grittiness and realism of The Wire sets it far apart. If you read the book Homicide Life on the Streets by Simon you instantly respect what research he put into the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Aye... apparently the photocopier/lie detector thing was lifted from real life. You get the impression that a lot of The Wire is as well though. The Deuce isn't as good yet but I certainly loved that first season. The scene between Candy and Rodney is the finest scene I've seen for a long, long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 For me The Wire was on a different level of TV, I actually missed it when it had watched it all. I loved breaking bad but I don't think it's a patch The Wire, which is the finest TV i'v ever seen, trying to talk my Mrs I to watching it so I can watch it again but she would rather watch shite like The Walking Dead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
