The Sopranos

zackster it felt tacked on and it had definitely lost momentum. another couple of seasons would’ve been magc.

I agree. It was fine but didn’t do the show service, IMO. But knowing David Milch, he would’ve dragged the show on forever. They should’ve and could’ve wrapped it up in three seasons. The Wire had coherent “points” each season; the press being season 5. Very imperfect season but at least it made some sense from a narrative point of view - another framing of the failures of the post-industrial American city. Not sure the protagonists and antagonists of Deadwood had much more to say after season three. They could’ve put a bow on it and called it a day.

“City On A Hill” just started up again. I really liked the first season. Recommended.

Soon we get to the point where anyone just starts lobbing in any old horseshit.

Millsy yeah Gomorrah is superb TV. Prefer it to The Wire

Come off it, Millsy.

After calling ‘shenanigans’ on 303abuser’s choices, too.

On season 2 of my Deadwood-rewatch atm. Last night’s episode was Something Very Expensive, which I was dreading. It’s the one where Wolcott kills the fancy prostitutes.

bosstrabs lol, there are so many shows over the years, where do I start?

The Sopranos won’t be topped for me, on every level it’s the pinnacle of TV. The Pie’O My thread that went on for a few episodes was unbelievable.

jonattonyeah the Shield was entertaining, but it was stupid.

Forgot about Gomorrah. That’s my number 5 - it was stupid in parts and the dialogue became excruciating.

The Wire ran out of petrol by series 3 for me, never had the staying power of The Sopranos

Season 3 was, for me, the best.

Proper breddas baddin’ up the game.

bosstrabs Have you watched them since?

I thought three was the best by miles on first watch

Along_the_Wire Yes, did the whole boxset last summer in lockdown.

Got bored midway through the final season, though, didn’t like Seasons 4 or 5 as much as 1, 2 and 3.

bosstrabs I actually found much of The Wire a bit dull. It’s a cracking TV series, just find Gomorrah more compelling.

Along_the_Wire Yeah agreed, Sibotka and the chuckle brothers down the docks, great viewing.

Game of Thrones.

Nothing comes close.

When it comes to RAW SEX nothing comes close to Game of Thrones, even has midgets

Agreed, season 2 of The Wire is the best.
