    I have yet to see The Wire in HD. I have the blu-ray set but haven't even opened the plastic lol

    The last time I saw it was probably 2014.

    I only saw season 4 and 5 in HD and it was so crisp hope I can get the first three in that quality too

    What do you mean by "used it to slander Breaking Bad"?

    I've only seen that when the opening statement is "Breaking Bad is the greatest show ever", then they will bring up The Wire in rebuttal.

    In the public consciousness, Breaking Bad is way more appreciated than The Wire. The only sector where its at least on equal footing is in television critic circles.

    So yeah, there's some discontent when a show you find superior doesn't get equal praise to some others. Breaking Bad is the public "bar" so to speak. So yeah those kinds of comments aren't necessarily s***ting on Breaking Bad, just bigging up the underdog.

    The Wire is a lot better though imo.

    well they’re the two most well rounded shows of all time, and pop culture has compared both shows since breaking bad started

    What you mean by well rounded?

    It's all opinions, I don't really have anything against comparisons in general either.

    Season 2 is always better on second watch. It's just as essential as 1,3, and 4

    you in for a treat then, season 1-3 were shot on 35mm film, and they moved to the cheaper super 16mm for season 4 and 5, so season 1-3 actually look even BETTER in HD

    and yeah this is basically my sentiment; Breaking Bad is a great piece of television or course, but it's kind of taken on this identity of de facto "greatest show ever" for a large crowd of people, so bringing up the opinion that The Wire is better unprovoked is more just a shoutout to The Wire's quality when compared to the public's standard-bearer.
