The Wire is the best show ever. All you people passing it over for The Sopranos are just excited to be "close" to some glorified mob life.

Is Game of Thrones a drama or fantasy? That show is frickin awesome. Cannot wait for Sunday!!

I love all these other shows except have never been able to get into the Wire. I stall after a few episodes in S1. I feel like a failure- I know I should love it. I should stick it out right? When does it get good?


This is me as well. I am smack in the middle of season one, and it is just not grabbing me. I will stick it out but I am disappointed thus far.

My vote is The Sopranos, although I liked ER and The West Wing better.

Lol. I forgot Ricky was on that show. Agree that he was great. What happened to him?

Agreed.


Mad Men is incredible in many respects. Numerous episodes are practically flawless. But it doesn't hit me emotionally the way many other shows do. It's just a different type of show.

STICK IT OUT

Season 1 is very good. They're all good. But they reward patience.

The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are overrated. Violence and shock value passing for character development and art.


disagree. carmella and tony are some of the most complex characters ever written.


They were static. Being conflicted or "complex" doesn't mean that the characters were adequately developed through the series.
