 The Wire really that good? Before I spend my money on it.
Is it really on the same top level like Breaking Bad, Sopranos?

Re: The Wire really that good? Yes it's pantheon TV. Sopranos is better but I think Wire > BB

Re: The Wire really that good? You could pay $15 for a month of HBOgo over paying $100 or whatever it is for the entire series on blu-ray. It would be worth it either way though.

Re: The Wire really that good? Its a bit overated like Breaking Bad. Its good but too many people try to make claims that its the greatest show ever. Spend your money on Deadwood or Rome, Filmo.

So Deadwood is not a show that got cancelled? _________________Libs wrote: FILMO, I'd rather have you eat chocolate syrup off my naked body than be a moderator here.

You should try miniseries like Band of Brothers and the Pacific. All those HBO shows have great sets.

Does the Wire gets a normal ending? Its just I hate it when a serie doesnt.

Re: The Wire really that good? I would say its very borderline. Its definately not full closure like say Rome which was able to wrap everything but it does not really end so much in a cliff hanger like Carnivale.

Re: The Wire really that good? Yeah getting HBO here is quite expensive (would also need to change my cable company).
So waiting and then get the series in a budget complete box (even on Blu-Ray) is most time way cheaper.
And with a box you can give it to friends and they give you other series etc.

Re: The Wire really that good? I think The Wire had a very satisfying ending. It could have easily gone another season after that, but all of the main players had their arcs wrapped up anyways. And the so-called controversial bit fit into the overall theme of the show. The game stays the same.
Rankings, just for shits.
1. Season 4
2. Season 3
3. Season 1
4. Season 5
5. Season 2

Re: The Wire really that good? The ending is fine, as mentioned lack of closure is sold well as the intentional point. Last season has some weaknesses however. 4 > 2 > 1 > 3 > 5. 2 is underrated and 3 is overrated.

Re: The Wire really that good? I really hope The Wire gets released on Blu-Ray here soon, I only hear amazing things about it and I want to see this for a while now.
