Is it worth our time? Watched the first season this weekend and, while it's interesting, I dunno if I can watch all the seasons. What say you?

I watched the first season and into the second... finally gave up... it was just too dark for me...
I had heard what a great show it was and while some of the plot twists were interesting and clever at the end of the day it was mostly about drug culture in the projects. Depressing.

The Wire is great. There is one subpar season (either season two or three) but overall I thought it was one of the best TV shows ever.

Seasons 3 and 4 are the best
Seasons 5 and 2 are the worst

If you didnt care for season 1, Id skip past season 2 and start watching season 3

If you dont like season 3, you dont like the Wire


The Shield is a very good series that has more universal appeal. On Hulu and Amazon Prime

Very entertaining. Stick with it. Some good humor when you learn the characters. Season 2 may seem odd, but it ties back together in later seasons. Season 3 is my favorite,
I put The Wire in my top 11 all time series along with;

Ozark,
True Detective (season 1),
Peaky Blinders
Breaking Bad,
Longmire,
GOT,
Southpark
Blue Planet II,
Fargo (season 1)
Pine Gap

I'll have to add it to my list to see...

Just finished YOU. That was awesome in my book.

Just started OZARK. About 8-9 episodes into season 1. Like the heck outta it!

Never been a big TV watcher but have got hooked on these last few shows. If they are the least bit predictable I loose interest quick. I've given up already on PERSONS OF INTERESTS already as it became pretty routine.

Good scene and great season of TV but I dont agree that its the best ever scene on TV.

The six minute, single shot scene in season one of True Detective was way better. Red Wedding in Game of Thrones was way better and there are about 100 other scenes in GoT that are better. Thats just off the top of my head.

Do we need to have the argument about the sopranos again?

Favorite GoT scene is Battle of the Bastards followed by Ramseys demise

Thats fair. I didnt put a lot of thought into it, I was just saying there are better scenes than the bear trap scene and picked two that quickly came to mind.

I just watched seasons one and two of Fargo and really enjoyed both. Im on season three now. Great show and I like how each season is a different story.

What are your top 11 shows? You need to list them. Then we can talk or argue.
