Wire is more difficult. You need to more or less learn multiple languages.

Like I mentioned in your same thread from last week:

:childplease: GoT & it's NOT close. You can understand everything on "The Wire" if you give every episode your 100% FULL UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.

You can't say that about GoT. You gonna need help from having read the books, read info & backstory on the wiki site for the books, Youtube, or etc. to understand everything that is going on.

Both shows have you hooked by the end of their 1st seasons regardless which 1 is more complex.

Eh....nah man. If you read the "GoT" books, or watch the history videos, or whatever, it gives the story more depth but none of it is requiring viewing to understand the show. Aside from having 5 million characters "GoT" is pretty easy to follow.

You need to have a relatively firm grasp of real life street and/or police slang to understand half the conversations in "The Wire". Or be very good with context clues.

:stopitslime: Yeah, you can understand the main storylines from only watching the show. But to understand EVERYTHING that is going on in the show including side/minor storylines, minor/side characters, references to the past/backstory, Geography/locations/castles, Houses/families/Sigils, culture, politics/society structure, religion, & etc. You gonna need help from having read the books, read info & backstory on the wiki site for the books, Youtube, or etc.

:stopitslime: Well this a black messgeboard. It's probably easier for us to pick on the slang & conversations on "The Wire".

:wtf:

Most people watching the show don't care about understanding everything. He asked "which show is easier to follow", not "how can I understand everything"....none of the side shyt you mentioned is integral to following the show. That's like me saying "if you really want to follow Breaking Bad you need to understand the use of colors and shadow through out the series".....that's some message board shyt. The average person watching the show could care less.

And :dwillhuh: at "this is a black message board". That don't necessarily mean people understand drug trade slang, or that he's black.

GoT's multiple story lines are hard to follow, not mention i can barley remember these characters names. If you gave me 15 pics of a different GoT character i could prolly only get like 9 right away
