I posted that spoilers from the whole season were released before even half of the season was completed, all of which were accurate, but yet still didn't stop me and pretty much everyone else from watching. That's how great the show's execution is.

I just don't know how people are making the argument about the Game of Thrones battles not being strategically realistic or how snippets from them wouldn't play out like that in real life, when a character like Omar would be in prison or dead if he tried pulling that shyt through the first half of season one of The Wire.

Breh really going pull up to a trap house solo and have every armed person in there shook enough to give up their income? In that chess game scene, D'Angelo also talked about how when the stash moves, it has muscle too.

There was a lot of over-the-top events in The Wire when you look at it. Did that make the show less enjoyable though? No. So now why apply the same critique to GoT and act like it should stick?

Ever since The Wire released to me it was the best TV show of all-time, held that title for about 10+ years. But it's GoT time now and that takes nothing away from The Wire or it's place in history. Like what show you like, nobody can tell you what to like and we don't gain anything out of trying to convince someone otherwise. However we should watch the contradictions.

Says true detective was 2 classic episodes sandwich between good episodes, aka every god damn legendary TV series. S1 was consistently good.

What was plagiarized? The whole yellow king bit? Big deal

Not really possible to plagiarize "The King In Yellow", it's public domain.

I love season 1 of "TD" but damn near everything out of Rust's mouth was paraphrased from a writer named Thomas Ligotti.

Top five, easily. GOAT? Not even close.

I tried to watch the first episode of GoT and couldn't finish it like a couple years ago. Yall can have that shyt.

Stick with it. It took me about three times to watch GoT, Sopranos AND The Wire. (I know, I know. Crazy.)

First time I rewatched season 1 I felt like I was watching it for the first time

This might be the most rewatchable show ever

oh, i will watch it again..just a few years down the line.
can't see myself watching it as long as it still has remaining seasons on tv.

I do wanna say this tho, true detective season 1 can match up with any of these shows best season.

Not match, it exceeds.

TD season 1 is damn near perfection. Obviously I have some gripes with certain things but it's still the best TV I have ever seen. The acting, directing and cinematography are just insane. Fukunaga is a legend.

Yup. I rewatched the entire series again and it's even better the second time around. The way characters relate to each other and the foreshadowing is just :noah:

Better than any rewatch of The Wire and Sopranos and I have rewatched those shows multiple times.

Damn...I was gonna wait till the series ended to rewatch... but yall got me wanting to start now

GoT > Sopranos

There isn't a more overrated show than the Soprano's, it's nowhere near the Wire and GoT has surpassed it. People like Paulie & Silvio were caricatures and their depiction of black people was a joke.

The corny ass dream sequences which always dragged on far too long, the stupid ass cat, the whole foreshadowing being to the point of almost mysticism. Tony dreaming and then just knowing p*ssy was an informant, or rather a fukking fish told him :mjlol:

That show is only popular because it deals with mafioso bullshyt which was mainstream and popular to begin with, meanwhile GoT has turned nerdy Dungeons and Dragons content into a straight up mainstream love affair and is now the most popular show HBO has ever had at a time people are ditching cable. People putting The Sopranos on the same tier as The Wire should be slapped :birdman:

Game of Thrones is really good I love it so far probably an 8.5 right now (newby on season 3) but Breaking bad was a roller coaster ride through and through. A lot of drug cartel lifestyle ideals and suburban home life that paralled each other which made the show so much more enticing on top of its heart pulsating cliff hanger

I think yaw buggin but Game of thrones can be a little hard to follow at times with the dialogue and theres some things that are left unanswered (again im a newby so im sure it'll be answered later on as the season goes lol)

For me

1.Breaking Bad
2. The Wire (only because the season with the greeks and the docks was boring as shyt)
3. ? (I can see me putting GoT but this shyt gotta keep up with the last 2 seasons I watched)

yaw caught up in the hype and on top of that, fantasy and mythological shows, that have ideals alike harry potter lord of the rings type shyt, ALWAYS has more hype than regular dramatic shows because of the nerd factor and theres already a huge fantasy fan base behind that genre (me included :heh:)

I remember years ago nikkas would always rave about shows like Doctor Who :dahell:
