Didn't want to divulge this: but I haven't seen either

If there was a downvoting here, I would understand

I was gonna start it in December

The Wire or the Sopranos best two shows ever. Not one show comes close (get that Breaking Bad **** out of here anyone.)

And I’m not saying that because it’s a nostalgia trip - because I was way too young to watch those shows and fully understand it when they were realeased.

The thing about the Sopranos (that makes some people say it’s the GOAT) is the fact that it has so many comedic and psychological moments - on top of all the drama/mob theme.

It’s truly a comedy about how dumb gangsters (and people in general are) when you pick up on it .

I'm glad I have HBOMax it's just rough to find time these days. Not like in your early 20's where binging was easy

I’m jealous of y’all man - seriously. You guys are about to experience greatness

But I had HBOGO in College so that’s when I started to really dig in. I was good.

I know Kev Porter not really a PG so expect turnovers, but damn yo gotta relax with those numbers

 

[HIM]

How many sad reactions is this post gonna get?



Sopranos >>>>>>>> The Wire

 

[storm2006]

I've seen The Wire but have never seen a single episode of The Sopranos OR Game of Thrones.

 

[MajinZuub]

I too have seen The Wire (multiple times) but not Sopranos. Keep meaning to get to it though

 

[coldcity]

This. If you want the praise you gotta be able to take the disrespect too.

I’m a Bulls, White Sox & Eagles fan freeze …. Disrespect is all I know

 

[frshstunna]

Have no idea what to make of the NBA season so far

It’s only a few games in so that’s how it’s should be…But there has to be hot takes from game to game like it’s football now

 

[Coupé It]

Also a show that HBOMAX has that you guys will absolutely love - a show which is much more like “The Wire” (except for the police theme) is…… GOMORRAH

An Italian gangster-drama show based on the Gomorrah (clan-gangs) in Napoli. Absolutely amazing. That’s really more like the “The Wire” because they’re both based on true to life stories/issues plaguing the area.

MUST WATCH - Gomorrah (remember that). Verde Shuttles put me on a couple years ago.

If you haven't seen The Wire, I can't trust you and need an alibi for your whereabouts on January 6, 2021.

GOT is fire until the show catches up to the books
Then the writing takes a noticeable nosedive right off a cliff

 

[Coupé It]

So many classic Sopranos comedic moments man that would have anyone dying…

The Sopranos is hilarious

That's exactly what everyone says so in my mind I'm like why would I invest my time in this

Semi-related but I've seen sooo many yambs on Bumble with "I'm still not over...The final season (maybe ending, I forget it was one of the two) of Game of Thrones" and I'm just like yo, did Cosmo tell y'all that was a hot line or something? Can't possibly be that many women in their feelings over GoT of all things

Why not? I’m mildly still in my feelings about it.

That said, a lot of women may feel especially strongly about it because of how the show ended the character arc of one of the prominent female characters.

[datznasty]

I haven't seen a second of the Wire or Sopranos, saw maybe a few excerpts of Game of Thrones, probably less than 10 minutes in total

Succession fans.

I had to do a lot of ****ing math as a computer science major and used to be a tutor/teacher, I'm pretty confident in my knowledge of PEMDAS

some people are choosing to do their own research
