It's very reddit. It's the second most reddit show after Breaking Bad. Stick with Sopranos instead.

>>87176856
Dropped this on episode 4

>>87177282
You dropped Sopranos? The best TV-show of all times? Ok, maybe you should stay on reddit then.

I've only seen a few episodes of this show but I have no idea how anyone could make the argument that it's "reddit." I can see how Rick and Morty is Reddit embodied but how is the Wire even remotely reddit? Can someone explain this to me?

>>87177613
It isn't - it's plebs who can't handle a show that doesn't have explosions every 10 seconds so resort to calling it reddit because it's popular - at least it is to people with functioning brains

The Wire is still the benchmark for TV

Patricians only.

It's a well-made show but pretty overrated. Season three gets fucking ridiculous, season four is boring, didn't make season 5.

If this isn't bait and you truly think this you are an idiot.

Sure, it shows some of the social dynamics which force decent people to use violence/commit crimes, but the series is filled with unromanticized. dumb, cruel and hypocritical (black) characters. It shows black corrupt politicians. It paints a white cop who accidently shoots a black cop as a sympathetic idiot who explicitly isn't motivated by muh racism, it shows police violence from all cops, whatever their color.

Unless you consider everything that isn't stormfront-tier to be Reddit, you are full of shit.

the show makes way too many excuses for nigger behavior

Those kids that the one black cop tried to work with through the school program didn't even know how to order food without screaming like a retard.

S1 and S2 are some of the finest things ever put on film, but later seasons were mediocre.

The way S1 and S2 weave one story of one city and its citizens is amazing.

All shows are reddit, television is a reddit medium. Being proud of watching and following a show is reddit and it is what has led us to the state we are in today, both real world and here on 4chan. Look at all the Dr Who and Game of Thrones and Walking Dead and Sopranos threads. Its reddit and it has to go.

questions like that keep me awake at night

I really enjoyed the show except for the last season. It's been so long so I don't exactly remember why I was disappointed by it but one thing I guess was that McNulty and the older black cop just went "FUCK IT" and did some pretty insane out of character shit that would have meant jailtime for both if it didn't work out. After all those seasons with regular human behaviour in both the cops and the criminals, seeing this "oh shit we gotta wrap things up" attitude by the writers and making the cast do unnatural shit was pretty disappointing

I mean storylines that support the notion that criminals are formed by their surroundings, which at its worst is treated by 'liberals' as if that means that criminals are actually victims and misunderstood souls and deep down are angels and potential rocket scientists, and is treated by 'conservatives' as pussy excuses for absolutely evil and irredeemable born sinners who would have always been evil no matter the external influences.

Reality, in this case, lies somewhat in the middle, which The Wire shows better than enything I've ever seen. The surroundings do matter, but people still act very different in comparable circumstances. The failures of institutions and how they squash the individual is the larger theme of The Wire.

The stereotypical /pol/ poster might see The Wire as if it were defending the simplistic SJW liberal version of socialization, while it's much more complex than that (e.g. whitey suffers from the same institutional obstacles as blacks do and there is a white supremacist conspiracy to keep the kangs down).

So much this, one of the few shows to pull this off and at the same time keeps the viewer engaged with the characters. A must see for every regular /tv visitor.

When someone calls a show "reddit", it simply means that they heard about it, tried watching an episode, didn't understand it/have the patience for it and so then they assume that it's popularity was a meme, and therefore spread via reddit.

The Wire could not be further from this. It is truly among the most well written TV shows (or film, for that matter). Much like The Sopranos is a reason that it comes up again and again, all these years later. It isn't an easy show to get I to either, I wasn't very entertained for the first few episodes but stuck with it, by the halfway to two thirds mark you are hooked, and the show more than pays off for this investment. I've seen the whole thing twice, and it was great both times. There's reason they have had college courses on this show.

>>87180913
>There's reason they have had college courses on this show.
Yes, the low level of the college education.

the wire has some good memes and bane guy, but it really is unwatchable

lol no. I watched all the seasons of The Wire and still thinks it's reddit. Watch all of Breaking Bad and Rick and Morty too. It's still reddit.

>>87181115
they have a course on this show in harvard

>>87180258
I agree. I remember a leftie asking me if I read The Miserables, and thinking about it, it also predicates along the same lines as The Wire.
You have Valjean and Thenardier. Both are in very dire and similar situations, but even if they are both changed by their environment, one is virtuous and the other is sinful, which goes to show that environment is neither irrelevant nor inescapably deterministic.

>>87175878
It's great from the start. A little slow? Sure, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

>>87181765
Maybe I'm used to slow shows now, but I finished it a few days ago and it didn't seem slow at any point.

>>87181910
People always bitch about how The Wire's nothing happens the show and it's first season was a bit slower than the rest, but the build up was worth it and I never felt bored with the show throughout all seasons.

Some probably do, yes. People do weird shit. I know semi-washed up people doing mindless frontdesk work who are composing music to kill the time.

This might look forced in fiction but this shit happens. Not everyone that does mindless work is an idiot and not everyone with talent does something with it.
