Sopranos but the wire season 4 was really good
Every sopranos season was on that level or better

who is this
That's a big bitch
the wire but its close
My wife.
It should be illegal for fat people to wear tight clothing
Sopranos, although I admit I never really got into the Wire and got bored after like 5 episodes
lucky bastard
sopranos high points are way higher than anything in the wire but wire doesn't have such low points as sopranos does so the quality is pretty consistent in the wire. also sopranos doesn't have idris elba.
still sopranos might be bit better overall.

It's like comparing Harry Potter to LOTR. The Wire obviously is much better.

Sopranos. Tried watching the wire, didn't like it. Probably because I don't want to watch some gen x'er crap about cops and blacks working together.
The Wire and it's not even close.
Only lefty cucks would pick The Wire
The Wire, by quite some distance
The Wire. I loved Sopranos (my second favorite) but at some points it's just too episodic with little plot progression.
The Wire is great, but the correct answer is The Sopranos.
The Sopranos for sure, but Wire is also incredible.

The writing in The Sopranos is so much better. Way too often in The Wire the character just becomes a mouthpiece for the writer to tell you what he thinks is wrong with society even if it doesn't fit the character.
the wire was enjoyable but i dont understand all the praise it gets. it was a pretty good show, thats all.
When they aired I would have ranked them on par but the Wire has aged very poorly
Sopranos on the other hand gets better every time I watch
>the character just becomes a mouthpiece for the writer to tell you what he thinks is wrong with society even if it doesn't fit the character.
example?
Twin Peaks
Sopranos is a meme. A sloppily-written, directionless mess. It's a soap opera about greaseballs.
Sopranos, can't say the Wire is better with it's final season
How does this not fit any of their characters?
Rent free
What? That's not what The Wire is about though.
BCS is better than both
Yes, look at this amazing writing.
Wire has nothing as embarrassing as Tony's mother CGI head. Freeze frame scene transition with his wife and this
I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns! What an amazing metaphor!
It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.
Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.
Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.
Omar, brother Mouzone and those dyke stick up women were mega cringe.
Who's this sperm whale?
The Wire is the Finnegan's Wake of television. It flies solo within the TV universe. There is nothing to compare it to. It's great within its own right. I'd have to say that The Sopranos is my favorite show, but I consider The Wire equally great.
Not as cringe as Furio, Chrissy, Tony's hamfisted dreams etc.
Nice bait, the dreams were absolute kino.
>Beautifully atmospheric fleshed out world with likeable characters vs contrived long boring story about people you don't give a shit about
Yeah the comparison is pretty accurate.
Add in Michael becoming the new Omar and dookie becoming the new Bubbles to """""""symbolize"""""""" how the game never changes.
Awful writing
now i have to rewatch hackers tonight
You named the best three things in the show.
Name?
WHOMST'VE?
Who?
*blocks your path*
the older I get the more I find this body type attractive, what's going on here?
everything besides the cops/gangs in The Wire sucked
Fat bitch
Maturity.
