12.27.15 | Whaddup Bird? |
Ryus
12.27.15 | haven't seen the wire but breaking bad is my favorite show. rewatching it right now actually |
Mystletainn
12.27.15 | haven't seen the wire either but breaking bad was the best show i've seen in a LONG time so yah I pick BB. |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | fuck these are actually my two fav shows. uhhh.. i would maybe go with the wire but i love them both. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Breaking Bad is the best show in a while (besides GoT) but goddamnit, see The Wire.
|
Snake.
12.27.15 | breaking bad because it's my favorite show [20,000,000,000,000] |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | meh |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | hmm
Breaking Bad is way more consistent, doesn't have a boring af second season or a mediocre ending
acting in Breaking Bad is also infinitely infinitely better
but I do love the brutal realism of the Wire and its ensemble cast of characters which was pretty fuckin original at the time
I'd go with BB in the moment but its close |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ya rowan u are right about the second season of the wire, it's substantially weaker than the rest. as far as the ending goes, i thought it was good. somewhat predictable i guess but so was BBs |
Ryus
12.27.15 | the final season of breaking bad was crazy good |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | both are shows ive seen some of and never really cared about
do not subscribe to the hype of either |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | I hear you on the second season Rowan but I think the acting-level in both is a lot closer than you think. There were some GREAT fucking performances in The Wire. It was a vastly different dynamic, with a different context,characters,etc. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's performances were no doubt incredible but for a much more equally-distributed storyline I think The Wire was excellent. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "both are shows ive seen some of and never really cared about
do not subscribe to the hype of either"
I knew you had bad taste to begin with but this just solidifies the fact that you harbor wack opinions. You suck, on an innate and immutable level. |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | agreed Ryus absolutely one of the best seasons of any TV show
s3 of the Wire maybe came close but the ending of BB still wins
also the Wire has some great actors yeah but there's none that come close to Cranston at the end of Crawlspace or the guy who played Gus once he started gettin crazy |
Ryus
12.27.15 | the end of crawl space is seriously one of the most heartbreaking/terrifying/riveting scenes in television. everything sort of fell into place at once and cranston's performance was just perfect |
Faraudo
12.27.15 | Breaking Bad without a doubt. Overall, it had a better run. It also has one of the best villains ever; Gustavo Fring. |
Mystletainn
12.27.15 | Gustavo's death = mind blown |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | What I loved about The Wire was that it was so sprawled out. There were no obvious protagonists or antagonists in the story. It lent its attention, for the most part equally, among gangsters, cops, crooked politicians, and the neighborhood crackhead. |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | Yeah the breadth of the Wire is definitely laudable but it sometimes spread itself thin. Breaking Bad on the other hand is razor focused |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "I knew you had bad taste to begin with but this just solidifies the fact that you harbor wack opinions. You suck, on an innate and immutable level."
be more butthurt random ankle biting boner-minion ive never heard of before |
jtswope
12.27.15 | The Wire by a nose.
Season 4 of the Wire, man. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Gus was the shit, but Omar> |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | btw 'never cared about' =/= 'do not like'
breaking bad was ruined for me because my roomates several years ago were always watching it so id see like season 1 episode 4 then season 2 episode 5 then seadon 3 episode 3. seeing things out of sequence like that can ruin a show for you
and the wire the first season was great but i lost interest when the second season turned out to be not so hot and i decided i wasnt willing to commit to 8 seasons of hour plus episodes of the show if it wasnt going to be the same quality as s1. apparently it gets better again after s2 but i really wasnt feelin 2 |

Ryus
12.27.15 | @pots too bad. i feel like you would love breaking bad |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | yeah its unfortunate. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Pots shut the fuck up you uninformed idiot. You're contributing absolutely nothing to the discussion. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | unfortunate that you're still in thread.
move around. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | becuase you being vindictive and butthurt that i dont suck your dick and love your shows is such a great contribution you fucking retarded little bitch |
Snake.
12.27.15 | "I knew you had bad taste to begin with but this just solidifies the fact that you harbor wack opinions. You suck, on an innate and immutable level."
gud 1 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | like literally who the fuck are you, do u get this mad every time someone doesnt conform to your opinion or are u just harboring a long-time little bitch grudge against me for something i said to u at some point in the past? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | i respectfully expressed why i never got on board with those shows and u threw a little temper-tantrum buddy, grow up. if i came in here being an asshole id understand but you're actually just acting like a little bitch boy with a coat hanger stuck in your prostate |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | The acting edge definitely goes to BB. Can't deny that. |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | Wire definitely picks up again after S2 but it's understandable you'd quit there cos that season was a fuckin slog
Omar is definitely one of the best characters in fiction
thread went down the shitter rip |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Take a winter break pots. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | will happily remain in your thread JUST to chaff your vagina at this point u moody cunt tycho. stay pissy bonerboy
"Wire definitely picks up again after S2 but it's understandable you'd quit there cos that season was a fuckin slog"
i got maybe 4 episodes in and i just didnt care about the new characters or story at all, everyone in the first season was so great |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ya pots the wire gets sooooo good after S2, but i feel u, sometimes one bunk season is enough to turn yuh off. |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | jeez i typed like the same thing as rowan. disregard |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 |
"ya pots the wire gets sooooo good after S2, but i feel u, sometimes one bunk season is enough to turn yuh off."
if i skipped the rest of s2 would i be lost or would i be gud 2 go |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | hmm there's some very important stuff that happens w/ the Barksdale family in the later part of season 2 unfortunately maybe there's like a youtube compilation of all their scenes so you can watch those and skip the rest of the season where a whole lot of nothing happens in the boat area |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | everything about the fat white construction dudes storyline just was so unappealing to me, bring da hood back |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | hmmmmm. the only thing u would miss, i think, is learning about "the greek", who is a recurring character in later seasons. other than that... i think the s2 stands fairly autonomous from other seasons, and is skippable |
Titan
12.27.15 | BB.....best show ever |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "will happily remain in your thread JUST to chaff your vagina at this point u moody cunt tycho. stay pissy bonerboy"
go fuck your mother in her cold-sored mouth, babe.
seriously though, you should at least watch/listen to something before you yammer away with your dichotomous opinions ya fuckin' dope. Both shows are good, go against your semi-obscure, contrarian nature for a second and you would figure it out. ;) |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | oh ya rowan is right i think.. u can prob still skip it tho. s2 is pretty fucking boring |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | a lot of my friends who i consider to have the best taste in film and tv i know swear by the wire being the greatest tv show of all time so i want to give it another go but yeah might skip the rest of season 2 if it really continues to be this lackluster the whole time |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | tycho simmer down man |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | @tycho stop spitting venom like a bigoted asshole and read what i said instead of being a huge fgt k? literally all i said before u decided to be a huge bitch about it was that i didnt get the hype and hadnt cared too much about the 2 shows from what i had seen. pretty simple. any respectable human being wouldnt get as aggravated by that as you did. i know ur afraid of backing down now becuase its just the worst thing ever for immature twats like you to realize they were totally in the wrong and were acting like a complete cunt but a little bit of humility goes a long way believe it or not.
i said i liked season 1 of the wire and explained why i stopped season 2 and also explained why its hard for me to watch breaking bad cuz ive seen so many random episodes that ive got a lot of spoiler material in the brain already.
learn how to be a decent human being. its not hard. it starts by not blowing the fuck up for no reason whatsoever in a thread that YOU started to talk about 2 shows. grow up, chill the fuck out, enjoy the holidays, get some anger management help. |
brainmelter
12.27.15 | damn pots, you up to date with walking dead but only seen "some" of breaking bad??
i never would have thought |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | @brain
i hate watch the walking dead tho
i acknowledge BB as a very respected and well done TV show that I just kind of missed the boat on and ruined for myself by seeing random episodes all over the place |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "damn pots, you up to date with walking dead but only seen "some" of breaking bad??"
lol
"tycho simmer down man"
he enjoys it. it's his thing.
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | no not really, id much rather have a pleasant discussion than have to chew you out for acting like a child but it seems your pretty bullheaded and intent on making an ass of yourself |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | oh the ironing... |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | and ya omar is the man. one of my all time fav chars from any show |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | are you in third person now tycho
also @hal don't forget there's a v important death in Season 2 towards the end that he would need to see : ) otherwise yea |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | yeah you say that as a deflection because ur still too scared to not be a prick and take responsibility for being an incendiary asshole |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | come at the king you best not miss |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | you dont provoke me, i dont provoke u and vice versa. brush the chip off your shoulder and put on your big boy pants |
brainmelter
12.27.15 | oh i feel pots, thats like me and Game of thrones. all my friends have shown me most of the shocking and brutal deaths in the show despite never seeing one ep. so there is no point for me to watch |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ya row u right. i haven't seen season2 in yearssss. I've re-watched the wire a few times but i always skip that season lol. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "oh i feel pots, thats like me and Game of thrones. all my friends have shown most of the shocking and brutal deaths in the show despite never seeing one ep. so there is no point for me to watch"
yeah dude whats the point after that lol. u know what everything is building up to, totally ruins all the anticipation. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | so rowan u think s2 is not skippable basically |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | I've only seen it once all the way thru hal gotta rewatch soon
Exactly the same with me and GoT brainmelter - I've literally had every death or major plot point in that show spoiled for me and I'm like fuck it |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | it's annoying af because the boating storyline is most of the season and that's wholly skippable but interspersed with that is the Barksdale storyline which carried on from S1 and through to S3 which is super important so if there's some way you could just watch the latter and skip the former you'd be gravy |
jtswope
12.27.15 | Season 2 of the Wire is definitely the weakest, but it's worth getting through for Seasons 3 and 4 which are really where the unanimous praise from critics stems from. Season 4 is probably the greatest season of tv out there. Fargo and Breaking Bad come pretty close though.
|
torts
12.27.15 | how is this even a question |

my buddy said it beat out twin peaks for him and i was like m8 woah |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | i mean, if season 2 is like painful for u to watch, i would skip it. the stuff toward the end i don't think is absolutely vital. it does kind of shape and set avon & stringers relationship dynamic in to motion for s3 tho. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Goddamn Pots is adorable when he's upset. What a doll.
@brainmelter why would your friends do that? that sucks. :(
|
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | Yeah give it a shot on YT I'm sure some considerate soul has done it
Twin Peaks defo trumps the Wire but that's a debate for another list |
jtswope
12.27.15 | Yeah dude Peaks is fantastic, but the Wire has the benefit of being able to wrap things up more definitively. |
Mystletainn
12.27.15 | Ya Brahe is basically wearing his ass on his head at this point, Pots did nothing to incite that kind of reaction from him. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Twin Peaks is great, and while the wire and bb are different in their own right, Twin Peaks is a completely different monster. |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | i have never even seen twin peaks. ill check ep 1 tonight. |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | Stick with it hal1ax. It's odd but it's worth it. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | keep it up tycho, lord knows your ego needs it big guy.
ill teach you an important life lesson today, one you wont even learn when ur mum drops u off at sunday school this week: if someones an ass, u have every right to be an ass back. if someone is NOT an ass and u come in full ass mode - you look like an ass.
take it from me, im the king of being an ass. here, take this dick, let me help u out of that hole you've dug for yourself.
"Twin Peaks defo trumps the Wire but that's a debate for another list"
i found it hard to believe that he thought the wire beat it out but twin peaks is pretty much my favourite show ever. only thing thats come close is the UK Utopia.
hope the new season of TP does the old one justice... lynch hasnt really done much in a while...
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "Twin Peaks is great, and while the wire and bb are different in their own right, Twin Peaks is a completely different monster."
see there u go how hard is that, being civil to people who came here with civil intentions feels pretty good hey!?
"i have never even seen twin peaks. ill check ep 1 tonight."
stick with it, it takes some getting used to. most peoples dont really know what to make of the pilot and first few episodes cuz theres really nothing quite like it. its as silly and quirky as it is dark. but i promise you it will be one of the most rewarding shows you've ever watched if u keep with it.
also make sure u watch the pilot first, a lot of people miss it and start on episode 1 or whatever. the pilot didnt come with some of the dvd releases of it and stuff so sometimes people miss it. |
Ryus
12.27.15 | i watched the first episode of twin peaks and i wasn't that excited but yeah i might try it again |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | understandable though if someone goes for realism over surrealism then they'd dig the Wire hard
I have high hopes tho just seeing the list of actors from the original series who are returning for it gave me a hype boner the size of the empire state building |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | it took me a few tries to get into it but once episode 3 finishes u will be hook line and sinker bro |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ahh ok for sure. i found a s1 dload with the pilot. I'm pumped. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "i watched the first episode of twin peaks and i wasn't that excited but yeah i might try it again"
yep, like i said u gotta stick with it. it takes a few episodes to adjust to the shows vibe. like rowan said once ur at around episode 4 ull be sold
"I have high hopes tho just seeing the list of actors from the original series who are returning for it gave me a hype boner the size of the empire state building"
yep
|
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "understandable though if someone goes for realism over surrealism then they'd dig the Wire hard"
That basically sums it up, Rowan. I guess I'd slightly favor bb at this point but it's still damn close.
|
brainmelter
12.27.15 | ooooooh, Fargo is pre cool |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ya i dig fargo too. although i didn't like the second half of season 2 all that much. season 1 is fucking gold |
jtswope
12.27.15 | Soooo excited for the peaks reunion. I have pretty high hopes for it.
And yeah man, Fargo is hands down the best show on tv right now. |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | Didn't watch season 2 yet but 1 was fire agreed
Buffy is still the best show ever tbh |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "ill teach you an important life lesson today," -pots
are you retarded? |
Faraudo
12.27.15 | Speaking about great shows, Hannibal's last season was incredible. |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | season 2 started off amazingly and i was liking it even more than s1 but it sort of got clunky toward the end and just fell off for me. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | ive been meaning to watch fargo for a long while, i know it doesnt have much to do with it but i love the film
i didnt even bother with true detective season 2 but i really liked 1 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "are you retarded?"
are you capable of not being a cranky bitch? no. no u arent.
|
Ryus
12.27.15 | need to check out fargo
bojack horseman surprised me this year, season 2 was great
can't wait for black mirror on netflix |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | ya TD season 1 is a masterpiece. don't even watch s2 tbh |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "Speaking about great shows, Hannibal's last season was incredible."
oh man i only watched half of it but it was really good i actually have no logical reason for why i stopped, i think the mood of the show wore me down and i needed a break.
really upset me that michael pitt left tho |
Snake.
12.27.15 | "are you retarded?"
keep digging yourself down this hole and you'll become a chilean miner |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "bojack horseman surprised me this year, season 2 was great"
dude. bojack horseman is TOO real
best part of the show tho:
"I shant be coming back"
"Shant you??"
"I shannot." |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | lol snake
|
jtswope
12.27.15 | Treat yourself and check it out then. What's cool about it is that it's a completely different story but it takes place in the same world as the film so there are some interesting intersections.
TD season 1 was fantastic, but season 2 is really really mediocre. Not worth going out of your way to watch at all. |
Ryus
12.27.15 | "dude. bojack horseman is TOO real"
forreal omg. the episode where he went to new mexico to live with charlotte was crazy good |
Titan
12.27.15 | so this is the sputnik saturday night hang out i see |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | "dude. bojack horseman is TOO real"
not to overuse my catchphrase but tru dat. seriously one of my favourite shows ever |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | "TD season 1 was fantastic, but season 2 is really really mediocre. Not worth going out of your way to watch at all."
tbh a part of me just wants to watch it for rachel mcadams. i love her. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | but yeah Bojack Horseman and Rick and Morty have to be the smartest animated comedies in years |
Ryus
12.27.15 | fuck i totally forgot about rick and morty |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | dudes.. new season of adventure time is killing it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | oh my god my buddy built a tindr profile and one of his first hook-ups was this chick who's profile said she liked rick and morty and otherwise all it really said was "SHOW ME YOUR RARIST PEPE'S" and he swiped YES on her or whatever and like a few days later she just messaged him "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT"
which resulted in a conversation in which she asked him to take off his pants and panties and take a shit on her floor
then they banged and she never talked to him ever again
troll-girl level 100 |
jtswope
12.27.15 | "tbh a part of me just wants to watch it for rachel mcadams. i love her"
She's the best part of the show so you might get something out of it! There is a moment at the end of episode 2 where they really had a chance to shake things up but the next episode kind of ruins it. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | @hal1 yeah adventure time had some hiccups but picked back up hard |
jtswope
12.27.15 | "fuck i totally forgot about rick and morty"
I'm a little behind but such a great show! |
Titan
12.27.15 | "TD season 1 was fantastic, but season 2 is really really mediocre. Not worth going out of your way to watch at all."
disagreed hard
2>1 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.27.15 | that is an edgy opinion bro
i like it ;] |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | 2 was fucking trash lmao worst season of anything I've seen in ages |
Titan
12.27.15 | colin farrel was phenomenal imo |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "are you capable of not being a cranky bitch? no. no u aren't."
Listen to yourself. Listen closely.
|
Titan
12.27.15 | and go fuck yourself Rowan |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | why do u like 2 more than 1? s2 TD is maybe the most convoluted tv I've ever seen |
Titan
12.27.15 | simple.....because almost every episode of season 1 knocked me out....made 2, sometimes 3 attempts to get through a single episode......most overrated show in a while |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | nice counter-argument bro you really convinced me |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | i see. |
Titan
12.27.15 | farrel, mcadams, (and even vaughn) >>> mc & woody |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | Farrell is a great actor but not when given such a shitty one-dimensional tough guy OH I'M SO HAUNTED piece of shit of a character |
hal1ax
12.27.15 | i thought mcconaughey was easily better than everyone in season 2. like not even in the same league. |
Titan
12.27.15 | his story was awesome, best part of BOTH seasons by far, and his outcome was very sad and profound......didnt see how caring about his son as his number one priority casts him as a shitty one dimensional tough guy lol |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | stopped caring about his character straight after that headless corpse line, that was laughably bad. Woody is easily the best actor/character in either season |
Titan
12.27.15 | mcconaughy's character slaughtered woody in every way |
Titan
12.27.15 | and they both shouldn't have walked away - lame |
EyesWideShut
12.27.15 | people still watch Breaking Bad ?? Mad Men is better than Breaking Bad let alone The Wire. |
Ryus
12.27.15 | how could you even be surprised about that lol |
EyesWideShut
12.27.15 | Rectify the most underrated show out there.
True Detective S2 was goofy from the first episode paying tribute to Weekend At Bernies. |
Rowan5215
12.27.15 | nah Woody's character is objectively better |

Ryus
12.27.15 | pretty much sums up the whole show |
TychoBrahe
12.27.15 | "people still watch Breaking Bad ?? Mad Men is better than Breaking Bad let alone The Wire."
oh boy... |
Cbankowski219
12.27.15 | Like both for different reasons. Breaking Bad had a much smaller scope, and you got a closer look at a smaller set of characters. The Wire went for a broader look at crime and politics as a whole. Breaking bad was more entertaining, but gotta give the nod to The Wire overall. |
PappyMason
12.27.15 | BB is fantastic, but definitely the Wire man.
I liked season 2 as well. That end montage was phenomenal. |
jagride
12.27.15 | season 2 is great, it's like a shitty opinions convention itt
5 easily the worst |
AngryJohnny
12.27.15 | Such a tough question. My gut tells me to go with The Wire because I've never seen anything more believable, but it's so so close |
KingdomOfTyrant
12.27.15 | the wire is mind-blowing ofc, but breaking is the best. |
DoofusWainwright
12.27.15 | Breaking Bad and The Wire are classics but my vote will always go to BB. The Wire peaked around season 3 for me.
The best ever final season of any show I've watched recently was a real surprise...Justified. Absolute perfection and by far the best season of that series |
Muisc4Life26
12.27.15 | Breaking Bad imo |
Titan
12.28.15 | That end montage was phenomenal. [2]
and as far as BB goes, got stronger as it went on which very few shows have been able to do |
