Just started it.
Is it supposed to be boring as fuck?
>>
That's enough memeing tonight lad.
>>
>>81362409
Yeah, pretty much. But just pretend like it's the best thing you've ever seen so you fit in.
>>
>>81362409
Yeah, you got memed Bro.
>>
>>81362409
Yes. I quit two times before finally got it. now it's my favourite show ever made. Hold on until the third chapter, if it rings a bell, great, if not give it a year and try again.

It's worth it, believe me
>>
>>81362409
Yeah, it kind of is.
You'll start to like it when you get to know the characters and sort of figure the show out.
For me it happened in the middle of season 2 on my third try.
>>
Breaking Bad is probably more suited to your pleb taste
>>
>>81362409
I love ADD teens trying to fit in.
>>
>>81362409
No, if you find it boring then don't watch it. Simple. You're missing out on some great television, but why force yourself.
>>
>>81362501
>third chapter
You mean third season or somthn'?
>>
>>81362557
>I'm not slow witted you just have ADD
>>
>>81362409
No, you're supposed to be confused because of all the police lingo and then you're supposed to feel smart when you start to understand the police lingo, then you're supposed to pretend the show itself is smart just because it uses a lot of police lingo.

>i-if you watch it ten times while convincing yourself it's good you'll like it
Isn't this how gay therapy works?
>>
>>81362757
>gay therapy
What's this?
>>
>>81362663
No, for me it was when Lester got up from his chair and got that Boxing Poster. I think it's the third chapter.

But it was also my third try

>>81362720
>police lingo.
That's what you got from The Wire? The police lingo? There is clearly more ghetto talking than that

>>81362757
It doesn't matter, bro. If you're happy with your Walking Dead and Breaking bad treads, go ahead, discuss about the black girl with a katana in a zombie apocalipse or how "cool" and "deep" Walter White is as a character
>>
>>81362409
It's not the most accessible show at the start, you have to work at it and make yourself pay attention. After a few episodes it'll 'click'. If you're still not feeling it by the time Omar meets McNulty, it's probably not for you.
>>
>>81362843
>That's what you got from The Wire? The police lingo? There is clearly more ghetto talking than that
I guess there are 2 lingos to learn, that makes it even smarter! Honestly, it's an okay show, but I think the circlejerk is entirely because of the lingo. People like to feel smart. And this show makes people feel smart. It's not actually smart though, it's just the lingo.
>>
Yesterday I was talking with my little brother, who just ended S2, convincing him to keep watching it (his girlfriend don't like it at all), and I was talking him about Wey Bey and how he still have a fucking great scene in S4, but to explain that I had to spoil him Bunny Colvin's plot, and to explain that I had to spoil Presbo's plot, and to explain that... so I just told him to fucking watch it. Because it's so motherfucking great.
>>
>le too much lingo haha

ffs they use the awkward expositional dialogue in the in the beginning just to string your bitchasses along how fucking retarded can you be
>>
>>81362931
Well exactly, it's not hard to learn. But it makes you feel smart, it's the artificial difficulty: the show.
>>
>>81362409

Only if you have shit taste. Im so sorry.

>too much lingo
what kind of a sheltered whiteboy would think this
>>
>>81362691
Go get yourself checked out.
If you cant follow a simple show you have bigger problems at hand.
>>
>>81362959
>artificial difficulty means what I need it to mean in every case
>>
>>81362757
The thing about the show is that it just throws you in without much explanation. You've got a shitload of characters who are quickly introduced and the show expects you to remember who they are. The same with the "world" that the show revolves around for the first season. All of this also gets a lot more complicated as the show progresses, but then you'd hopefully been able to catch up on the older stuff, so it's not as confusing.

Because it is a confusing show for a new viewer. If you've seen Generation Kill, it's pretty much the same thing. How are you supposed to understand all the military speech without any prior knowledge?
>>
>>81362993
meanwhile you cant even follow a single sentence, the show was called boring not difficult to follow you retard
>>
>>81363008
Exactly, it's the dark souls of language.
>>
>>81363019
You are the one to say.
Dumb fuck.
>>
>>81363010
Don't think Generation Kill has a lot of military speech, they explain everything using that journalist character you're supposed to relate to.
>>
bad show, don't watch :^)

GOT DAT WMD

It is supposed to reflect real life in that things don't happen on an episodic basis in real life, so why should they in a tv show

You'll find that nothing will happen for three episodes or so and then shit will go down and flip the tone for the next few episodes

it's all about tone & atmosphere
>>
>>81362757
>Isn't this how gay therapy works?
Needs more electrotherapy
>>
>>81363151
that was a long way to say yes
>>
>>81362757
>>81362974

It's no near as epic as Rick and Morty, Bro XDD EPIC BURP!!! LOL!

Did he deserve it?
>>
just following orders..
>>
>>81363392
no.

He was old school, with his goods and bads (he fucking killed Wallace), but he was chewed up by a new generation that doesn't understand the bussiness.

This is muh corner
>>
>>81363476
>>81363392
Of course he deserved it

If you don't wanna die get out of the game

>>81363476
bodie was literally
>back in my day

grandpa bodie couldnt keep up with the changing world
>>
>>81363202
This scene made me angry. His wife was so sweet and devoted.
>>
>>81363508
meet the new boss, same as the old boss
>>
>>81363476
>>81363493
>>81363507
What I really like about Bodie's death is that he shoots diagonally like a pawn and gets attacked head-on by rooks (Chris and Snoop) and then another guy comes out of the alley and attacks him in an L-Shape like a knight. Really cool reference to the chess game in season 1.
>>
>>81363508
He changed, after all. Great depiction of a kinda honest politician that can't get shit done at all

>>81363493
It's not about he getting killed, it's about he having just a shitty corner, no family left, and being executed by some autistic serial murders and not on a fucking war for the streets like soldiers do

>>81363507
true that
>>
i like how fat face rick is one of the top guys with the connect at the end
try to convince me that he isn't the GOAT wire character
>>
>>81363746
You just can't pick a GOAT, just a personal favourite. And even that is hard. Presbo? Bodie? Lester? Prop Joe?...
>>
>>81362501

same quit it once in S2 cause i didnt know whats going on anymore

pulled through and its glorious
>>
>>81363781
Weebay
>>
>>81363873
Based nigga
>>
Dropped it S02 and had a Sopranos marathon, no regrets
>>
>>81362409
It's overrated as fuck, has aged horribly and barely relatable if you're not a nigger or an Irishman.
>>
its good, but at the same time its dry as fuck. i quit in middle of second season, but somehow i still want to see what happens.
>>
>>81363584
Fucking underrated
>>
>>81362409
2>4>1>3>5
>>
>>81363781
Bodie and Slim Charles were the best characters
>>
>>81364089
Why does /tv/ like season 4 so much?

It's literally:

>muh kids
>muh marlo
>>
>>81364089
swap 5 and 3 and I agree

3 was by far the worst for me
>>
>>81362409
Could stand only 2 episodes. It looks old and boring as fuck.
>>
>>81364089

muah unions muah white people

fuck you commie fuck
>>
>>81362843
Stop saying chapter you annoying faggot
>>
>>81362501
Season 2 is better than 3 you plebe
>>
>>81364116
I'm currently watching s05, and all this shit with the paper and McNulty being a total freak just bores me so much

>>81364106
redemption arc of Prez, all of kids growing up to take place of Bubbs and Omar in the S05

>>81364130
I bet your favourite is S01
>>
>>81364089
Perfect

im ok with this

It's an alright series but watching it today with shows cinematic enough to play out like long form films, it's aged.
>>
>>81364053
yep, thank god I'm not form the south of spain and never got into anythig drug or olice related and can enjoy the best show ever made

>>81364089
first time I don't have to correct one of those ranks

>>81364095
Could be

>>81364106
muh great scenes and a deeper comprehension of the life in Bmore

>>81364130
literally the only union member I ever felt simpathy for is Sobotka. Estibadors are in a strike right now in my country, but those fuckers are just a bunch of faggots

>>81364138
ok

Is it wrong?
>>
>>81362409
>Is it supposed to be boring as fuck?

Only for plebs.
>>
>>81364161
S2 is my favourite, I mean episode 3, as >>81364138 already informed me, chapter is the wrong word

you plebe

>>81364190
I think its already arcaic style by the time they made it (4:3, camera work...) makes it even less aged. Try watching Stranger Things or any other netflix series in ten years...
>>
>>81363584
daaaaamn rewatching this episode now
>>
>>81364089
4 > 2 > 5 = 3 > 1
>>
>>81363746
Cutty, Slim Charles, Bunk or Omar are GOAT

greatest chemistry ever.

Not to mention the introduction of Marlo. Also Cutty.
