Been so long Whole series felt like a fresh watch for me.
Love twin peaks but I’m so put off rewatching because getting through season 2 is a chore

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

that's why I'm only rewatching season 1 of TP

Valchek really ended up the commissioner

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.

On season 3 right now and so far it's wayyy better than season 2 lol

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

nice article on some little known facts about The Wire

funniest one is that John C Reilly was the original choice for McNulty

I'd have to be bored as f*** to watch that entire season all over again lol

YO that white cop Roland is soooo trash

one of the most useless police in the show lmao but I love him for this

one awful take after another Jesus f***ing christ

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.
