Lucky you for the 5 seasons of fun you have waiting for you.I've known people both in reality and online hyping up The Wire and it's just been one of those shows that has evaded me for all of this time. I finally started watching it last week and it's absolutely fecking awesome.I can see why it's highly thought of.
Thought it was just me. I've gone back to this show 3 times and for the life of me I can't get into It. I think it's just that I don't like any of the characters. I can tell it's good but maybe it's just not my taste when it comes to mobster stuff. Love Narcos, Queen of the South, Sopranos etc. But this just isn't doing it for me.
I gave it a shot and watched another 10 episodes or so because I really want to like it but sadly it's just not for me.
Only finished it last month. It’s a good show. Takes a bit of time to get into it. But it’s good overall.
Its absolute trash that show. I stopped watching once they got to “Ireland” bruuuutal altogether. Also the fact they are gun runners and none of them can shoot? Argh. Quit at some stage during season 2.
I’m 6 episodes into the first season of Gomorrah and yeah I’m not desperate for the next episode. In fact every time I get the option of watching things I’m picking anything except that. The other part of me likes finishing things I start though and I know shows can improve especially after first seasons. Probably 50/50 as to whether I carry on watching or not.
It's one short story in a season. It goes as well as you'd expect.
Gennaro was annoying me and making it hard to get into the first season, but it gets much better from season 2. Keep going.
I have no idea why it is rated in this thread. Gave up after first season. It has big production value for a European show, that is about it. No good character arcs, laughable dialogue, no remotely likeable character. Just assholes killing each other.
Agreed. Then he solves all these cases that no other people could solve. Some old.
I think it's a very specific audience that find it highly appealing. Kinda of like those that like horror films and those that see it as pointless.
I soooo want to watch it again, especially because the final season (IIRC) just dropped, but I can't for the life of me remember which season I watched last, I think its season 2, but when I what a recap, it's hazy. And I'd hate to re-watch it from the beginning. Should just go with season 3 and take it from there.
Which: Bosch or the wire?
I cannot recall what season 3 was about again. I too have the final season left to watch, but in no hurry really. It is good but flawed.Bosch
The Wire is GOAT man.
Please don't. It's a complex show that requires absolute focus. Otherwise you will be here soon enough posting you couldn't get into it.
Binge watched season one and now on season 2. It's really nice. Can't believe I had not heard about it until I read about it in this thread.
I loved it too. Can't wait for the next season to come.
Do it. It’s one of those shows that get miles better after the first season. Took me that long to love it.
Righto I'll take your advice on it.
Looks good. That has a bit of horror elements as well?
Yea the storylines are very Hollywood and unrealistic. It’s a fun watch though. I like that they stay true to the lingo, inner politics and procedures of police departments.
Also the best intro ever aside from maybe True Detective S1. That shouldn’t matter much, but I still love it.
It is great although the final series dipped a bit.
I'm up to episode 7 now I think I've cracked it
Good
The second I saw the trailer I knew I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Utter trash, and I think it is even going to get another season. Haven't a clue how such garbage gets renewed and some good stuff get cancelled. Guess it doesn't take a lot of money to make crap that's why.
