AMC's Breaking Bad vs HBO's The Wire

So I just finished Breaking Bad tonight and it isn't even close. The Wire wins hands down. I never had an emotional connection with any character in BB and that's not the actor's faults. The acting was stellar but intentionally or not none of the characters were likeable. Also had a shitty anticlimactic ending with a load of loose ends. Still a great show that appealed to the masses. I stand by what I said before.

The Wire = Metal Gear Solid

Breaking Bad = COD

It's really weird that you bumped this the same night I bumped the HoC thread.

BB was utter genius to me.

The Wire is my next show up.

Prepare to be blown away. You will get hit in the feels. It is a very real and human show.

I know I've already commented in this thread...but I just re-started the Wire last week and it's honestly not even that close for me anymore...

 

Breaking Bad is number 2. The last 5 episodes of so of BB may be my favorite sequence of any show...but the Wire is just fuging phenomenal. And "real", which helps for some reason to me.

The Wire is WAY too slow. Everyone RAVES about season 3 and 4 and all agree season 2 is trash. Guess what? BB is amazing every episode and every season. There is no contest. BB destroys The Wire. BB is the perfect show. However, Fargo's debut season is even better.

lol

Agreed. BB is a great show but The Wire is in another league.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
