>>85409230
Definitely, it's a slow burner but it's inmensely satisfying.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE MONEY TO YOU MOTHER FUCKER??

Unless you have a really short attention span, YES.

Yes. It's overrated but it's still kino

It is overrated though. There's no shortage of people who claim it to be the best show ever made despite it's countless faults. see >>85411352

it's a reddit show

>>85409230
Absolutley.

>>85409230
Yes

>>85409230

DOWN IN THE HOLE

Yes but it has its faults. I didn't like a lot of the plotlines and characters, especially in the later seasons. Every scene has some stupid gangbanger or some drunk mick cop saying something wise and profound out of nowhere. They constantly hammer you over the head with the point they're trying to make. Basically yes watch it the show is great just not as good as The Sopranos.

>bow tie suit man who can read

i really don't know

I know everyone says this for a lot of shows, but in this case it's very true that you need to marathon the first 3 or 4 episodes to really get into it. The show doesn't really hook you in in the most accessible way like, say the Breaking Bad debut.

>>85412773
No, he's a commie.

shit show. retard monkeys killed off stringer (the writers not the black people)

>>85412773
Frank Sobotka did nothing wrong

Looking back on it, it's still good but it's just goes so heavy on the "black people can't help being criminals, urban life is rigged" thing that it ultimately amounts to nothing more than a piece of propaganda. Not worth investing for 6 seasons or whatever it is.

>>85411517
It's faults are nothing compared to what it offers.

>>85413641
This. I probably watched the first 5 episodes three or four times before I really got hooked.

Keep watching until the Avon finger wag. You'll know it when you see it. Pure kino.

Why the fuck does /pol/ always have to be right?

>>85411352
lel no. It just conveys each season's theme repetitively and overtly, without using flesh-out characters or addressing anything at all other than the season's main theme. Better than capeshit though.

>>85417565
ayy

this is exactly how it went for me, tried getting into it a few times and then one time i made it til he waggled his finger and was in all the way

there is some REALLY stupid shit in the show though

>>85413592
Nope. The Sopranos doesn't beat the viewer over the head with its themes, and the characterization is about 100 times better in the Sops.

McNulty, for example, is about as cliche as you can get, and is nothing but a vehicle to move along the PD dysfunctional narrative, instead of being a flesh-out human. Nothing remotely similar to characters on the Sops.

>>85409230
only if ur into that shit OP

same with game of thrones. everyone and their mom says its the best shit ever, but i hate movies in that setting and genre and cant fucking sit through that shit.

now if game of thrones was in sci fi, now were talking, but thatd just be like star wars or some shit

Also, why do you Soprano fags have a superiority complex? You always shit The Wire threads with "muh talian mobsters are more kino, hurr durr!". Fuck off already with your vapid criticism already.

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.

>>85418978
The justice system is fucked but there is no way Avon got out. Also with all his men and especially String out of the picture no way he gets back on top. The game passed him by.

>>85418836
>D' was the realest nigga
that little bitch who preferred to be in jail being fucked in the ass than hustling in Baltimore? fuck no

>>85419039
ebin

>>85419039
Im from Baltimore. Fuck you, McNulty did a pretty good job with it. A few times you can here the Brit come out, but all things said he did well.

Now Det. Mello had the best accent, but seeing as he is the real Jay Landsman thats expected.

>>85418960

did you watch the show?

>>85419220
Boris is in jail though

>>85419232
yea and that little bitch was talking about how he was more free inside than outside and didnt help Avon to spike the coke

It's a good show. Here's my top five.

1) The Sopranos
2) The Shield
3) True Detective season one
4) The Wire
5) Breaking Bad

>>85419298

>he hasn't seen Oz

>>85411517
Name some faults then, pleb. I doubt you can find even one.

>>85419356
D genuinely felt remorse for things that happened. Maybe he saw jail as a form of penance.

>>85419075
He was Avon's cousin. There wasn't a single nigger in jail that would risk touching his ass, bro.

>>85419389
>implying he wasnt deported back to Ruasia and is in a gulag in Siberia

>>85419402
I've seen Oz all the way through about four times. It's got some excellent characters but some really weak storylines and it went downhill fast after our dear friend Simon went to negro heaven.

>>85419402
Not him but if you turn on Oz, hear "MUH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" man from Lost raise his annoying voice once more and not turn it the fuck off you are a crazy person

>>85419599

>>85415522
Duck couldn't hold it's liquor for shit

>>85419675
I find it hilarious that there are people out there that think Stringer wasn't the most dangerous person in the show. They make up excuses that he wasn't prepared for the street, and not smart enough to leave it, but he would have got there if he wasn't under an immense amount of stress from being fucked by Clay and Avon ruining his business. Even McNulty gives him a nod when he searches his apartment and finds all his books, and it wasn't even current events that killed him, it was past shit that was basically Avon being a dumb nigger and ruining a good thing.

>>85419724
I saying how Avon has a code. He is horrified when String orders the hit on Omar on a Sunday and sends Omars grandmom a new expensive hat. Also sure it was Sting who ordered all those civilians killed after that court case.

>>85414199

Frank Sobotka did a whole lot fucking wrong, and people died because of him.

The point isn't that he didn't do anything "wrong", the point is that he did it all with the best of intentions. All Frank wanted to do was preserve the way of life of the people he cared about. What he did instead was get not just himself mixed up with a criminal organization much bigger than him, but his family, and those very same people he cared about, too. Frank was a man who made some very bad decisions.

>>85419832
Frank was a victim of circumstance. Everything was fine up until the events in the second season. It's not so much that Frank fucked up, it's the greeks in charge that let retards working for them fucking it up. You take away everything that happened in the second season, and Frank would have eventually got what he wanted, which was stronger representation for his union and more work for his people.

>>85419908
Frank was a warning about the upcoming Singularity. He alone saw the danger the machines pose and ultimately paid for his forbidden knowledge.
