So, I've re-watched both first seasons of "The Wire" and "Boardwalk Empire."

Location: Greensboro, NC

What does that have to do anything?

Just because I can relate to something more doesn't make it better. The Wire is one of the goat tv shows. But Boardwalk is REALLY ill, and if it keeps on that way, it can surpass The Wire.

I definitely already think The Sopranos > The Wire.

None of this is taking away any of the piffery though....Im 30, not too old, but I've lived through ALOT of dope TV shows, and The Wire is still up there, but theres a few shows I think are better.

I get the video game analogy to a degree, cuz boardwalk being set in the 20s results in a slower pace to the show. I've heard niccas call boardwalk 'boring' and I think that's just because of the pacing.

I don't think it has anything to do with the setting, it's just a slow burn.

Mad Men is set in the 50/60 and it's a slow burn.

Breaking Bad is set in present day and some people complain that it's slow or boring until shyt starts blowing up.

SMH...Ill never understand why people shyt on The Wire Season 2.

1>3>2>4>5

 

[Demon]

yup. That children shyt was kinda stupid. Yeah, we got Dookie and Mike...but that shyt in no way was better than season 2 Season 2 got extra intricate

 

[MightyHealthy]

show is set in the 1920' and the big difference is the lack of black people.

my guess you don't like hop in jons either.

It's Hoppin' John.

I'm slackin' brehs, I tried watching Boardwalk Empire, and I could never get pass an episode

the shyt that gets me is that I Love Mafia/Organized Crime shows/movies

I gotta give it another chance

This has to be a shock thread.

BE is great but I think they did it wrong. Luciano, Lansky and Capone could carry this show easily. That scene when Jimmy and Capone found out his son was deaf..

While I disagree w/ the OP, I think it's clear that both season 1's shyt on Breaking bad season 1

 

[Bud Bundy]

It's Hoppin' John.

thanks

but either way I think thread starter is trying to say they don't like black people.
