BS. I could re-watch GOT knowing the ending sucked. Or Breaking Bad. I have no desire to re-watch The Wire.

Because it wasn't the best TV show ever. The best TV show ever doesn't have a season that sucked like season 5. I thought it was ok but best ever? Hell naw.

Yesterday was very symbolic for season 2 of the wire. This show is a masterpiece still 24 years later.

So your argument is a show that is supposed to be the GOAT shouldn't have a season that sucked and the show you mentioned you would watch over it is... Game of Thrones Yea, because every season of that was gold.

You’re an idiot. Season 5 of the wire was still amazing tv. Game of thrones final season was so bad it is disqualified from being in that category anymore.

I've been doing a rewatch the last month or two when I work from home. Still one of the GOATs.

GOT over the Wire


Give me a freaking break. I'm a huge GOT fanboy (books and show), but that's ridiculous.

The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sopranos, and Battlestar Galactica are all superior series to GOT, imo.

This thread has inspired me to give it a watch. Honestly, not sure how I’ve not ever watched it before.

When I saw that container ship ran into the Francis Scott Key bridge, I wondered if investigators might find a lot of illegal shipments on it. How many of those dockworkers are sweating out being linked to something like that. How many politicians rubber stamped an illegal shipment, or a series of them?

Max should start the series back up with stories about what happens to the people who don't have goods to sell. If another crew got their stuff a couple of days ago, does the crew who didn't get theirs going to pull a few Omar's? Will the ship crashing cause a new war for territories? How long will it take investigators to allow the dock workers to offload the ship? Weeks, months, years?
