THE WIRE VS. SOPRANOS

Absolute violation

I think the wire makes the best box set on some sit down and watch in 1 go prob along with breaking bad

Sopranos is easily the best tv show was filmed and shown over a much longer time frame

/

Anyone remember that show before the wire was a documentary style show with the same actors in baltimore ????

The corner

Deandres poem >>>>>

Silent screams and broken dreams

Addicts, junkies, pushers and fiends

Crowded spaces and sad faces

Never look back as the police chase us

Consumed slowly by chaos, a victim of the streets,

Hungry for knowledge, but afraid to eat.

A life of destruction, it seems no one cares,

A manchild alone with burdens to bear.

Trapped in a life of crime and hate,

It seems the ghetto will be my fate.

If I had just one wish it would surely be,

That God would send angels to set me free

Free from the madness, of a city running wild,

Freed from the life of a ghetto child.

Died of a drug overdose (the real Deandre)

Very sad read though

they're different shows

 

GOT I'd compare with Prison Break and Heroes

The Wire and Sopranos I'd compare with Breaking Bad

just when u think lahi cant get any stupider

8-)  you know I'm smarter than u

 

 

i aint one to toot my own trumpet but u must have had a toot urself

 

pretty sure anyone would disagree

 

there'll be no more discussion on this matter, its degrading

 

 

 

 

ima let u watch ur show based on dragons,pixies and dwarfs u unstable sniff head 

 

 

the greatness of the show (n the books) lies in the realistic n gritty humanism, n obviously the complexity of the storyline

 

got mates i've had this exact discussion with cos they're too narrow minded to give it a chance cos of the fantasy aspect

 

also made a point that he aint a dwarf, he's jus a midget, to be then told he is actually a genuine dwarf by definition, but not as in a lord of the rings magical dwarf, jus a small geeza

 

it's not 'based on' the fantasy aspect at all

 

you've got to be an idiot to have given it a chance n not been won over by it

I'm not trying to say they are levels with each other.

I'm trying to say they're the same type of entertainment value.

 

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire - you kind of have to take in to really appreciate it.

GOT, Prison Break, Heroes - the entertainment is all there on the surface. Though in fairness GOT has a bit more complexity to it, but I don't think you gain much more appreciation for it by observing that.

 

Out of interest, in what way do you consider the previous statement a violation?
