I have been told to watch the wire on hbo. Is it currently on their hbo on demand? I am not talking about HBO GO. Otherwise it's DVD for me
Breaking Bad is not even close
I find this statement to be full of self-evidence.
breaking bad is like twilight for "cool" people.
the wire was just plain awesome. it was the equivalent to reading a great novel. that was a show where you started paying attention and before you realize it an hour has gone by and you forgot youre just sitting on your couch...
breaking bad was just fun entertainment. never seemed very serious, the grittest parts still had a sense of humor to them.
I like Breaking Bad, I'd say very good to excellent is accurate, but I agree with wired's criticism too. It's better than 99% of the stuff out there, but it's overrated. It feels like a TV show while something like The Wire and some other shows feel cinematic. It's just not on the same level, which is fine; not many shows are.
