GOAT TV Drama Series: Breaking Bad or The Wire?

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

No show is fukking with Breaking Bad's pen game. nothing. Breaking Bad = Nas The Wire = Jay

 

[RenAi!]

The Wire by FAR. This is coming from an avid BB fan.

Can't believe some of you guys put fukking house or gay ass shield in here. Yuck.

Breaking Bad also gets points for doing it on regular TV.

 

[Sampson]

The Wire. Breaking Bad is somewhere behind the Sopranos and Justified, and I'm a huge fan of Breaking Bad.

 

[White Chocolate]

My vote goes to the wire.

Honorable mention to Stringer Bell (he gets my vote for best "eye candy" within a series)

 

[Y2Dre]

Lost.

 

[Rufus Dufus]

The Wire.

Breaking Bad's a great show, but not very realistic.

 

[VBM]

The Wire.

Breaking Bad's a great show, but not very realistic.

Realism's overrated. Besides, nobody complained when Omar survived that 6 story fall from the balcony with one bad leg to show for it.

That actually happened though with the real "Omar".

Be that as it may, surviving getting shot at by 3 people while hiding behind a couch for cover and then jumping off a balcony (while feasible) doesn't come off as "realistic."

Coming from someone who has only really gotten into series in the past few years, has watched every episode of The Wire and every episode of Breaking Bad.. I gotta say.. BB is more impressive due to being within the constraints of cable, but The Wire was just a little more raw, just felt so real damn near like you were in it with them. So tough to call and don't wanna make the emotional judgment for BB because I'm watching it now.. but damn.. I think BB might have it for me but if it's 1 The Wire is a close 2.. or vice versa..

 

[Wondah_Woman]

The Wire IMO. But BB is dope too. I'm going to miss that show.

No Mad Men fans in here?

Def . a Mad Men fan, and Mad Men has the subtlety game on LOCK.. Easily the GOAT in that category and character development (right along w BB) . It's def top 3-5 for me but Breaking Bad is just..

 

[Real Talk of NY]

The shield shyts on both.

I love breaking bad but it's not better than the Wire
