The Wire vs Breaking Bad no holds barred cage match!

[Grooveriding]

Settle a bet for me. If you've seen both, which one wins this cage match of television's two titans ? If you're here to talk some of that John Snow noise, door is that way ---->

 

[Craig234]

Both great, had to go breaking bad.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Not even close, Breaking Bad.

 

[Aharami]

I'd imagine Bunk and McNulty's "fucking fuckity fuck" scene alone will put the Wire on top.

 

[Homerboy]

The Wire

All fucking day

 

[Jeeebus]

The only correct choice here is The Shield.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

With all the great things I heard about The Wire, I could never get past 3-4 episodes of the first season.

Fucking love that show. I need to go back and rewatch it.

The Shield seemed great but I think was quickly made dated and left behind by these two.

Spartacus

Yeah, I have tried to watch it as well. Seems boring as hell. It must get better at some point. There are so many people that love it.

 

[SP33Demon]

BB, better plot, better acting.

 

[MustISO]

On season 3 of The Wire right now. When I'm done I plan to start Breaking Bad.

 

[cbrunny]

Obviously Seinfeld wins.

The Wire is a slow roast that you need to appreciate over time.

BB grabs you from the get go, and it's one epic man's tale.

BB wins hands down. I appreciate The Wire though.

 

[zinfamous]

Tough one, but I go with The Wire.

Two good dramas.

One's exciting.

One's slowwww.

I'll let you guess which one I lean to.

I barely finished BB because season 2-3 was effing slooooooooow.

I assume you are leaning toward The Wire?

 

[Zeze]

shit, don't even try to play this game, fool.

When I came across that Omar kissing and smooching his BF repeatedly, I was so caught off guard. D:

That scene gave me hibbyjibbies.

 

[bigrash]

I love both shows, but I like Breaking Bad more.

like for real, the hibbyjibbies? Would you say that produced a much stronger physical/emotional reaction in you than anything in Breaking Bad?

Lesson here, 'Bey: You come at the king, you best not miss..

 

[Grooveriding]

Omar listenin'

The Wire was revolutionary in its time.

Just straight up today being judged with a modern perspective Breaking Bad obviously seems less dated (especially if you can't find The Wire in HD 16:9) so most people will say it was "better," but this decade everyone and their dog (Netflix, Amazon, Showtime, etc.) is doing adult-themed drama well. Back when The Wire came out there was nothing like it, it was revolutionary. It felt like a real life The Sopranos.

So I voted The Wire even though I would rather watch BB right now.
