Hmm, taken me best part of a couple of years but have finally done all the above boxsets and enjoyed them all..
For a lazy evening, I do occasionally like to get in a big chinese takeaway, open a nice bottle of red and immerse myself in a decent dvd for a few hours.
Any recommendations as to what I might watch next?

The Sopranos beats The Wire hands down no contest.It's good for sure but not as good as it thinks it is.Sopranos always felt quite "real" but apart from the city hall scenes which are v good indeed the "street" scenes in the Wire are laughable for their cleanliness and utter lack of people/extras.
Band of brothers is very good as well |

The only program that I'd recommed that is as good and in some episodes much better is The West Wing |

How many times have you been to Baltimore? I believe they asked a few low level Baltimore gang members about The Wire and one said that the only thing that was unrealistic about the characters in the show was that they weren't watching The Wire. As has been mentioned, Dexter is worth a watch. It's really well written and Dexter is one of the best tv characters in recent years. |

i wonder what The Manageress with Cheri Lunghi would be like now,, used to love that, probably a bit dated

By:
Sopranos differeent class to the Wire
Actually i thought the scenes with the cops in The Wire were less realistic, and very derivative of countless Movies/films |

By:
i love both Sopranos and Wire, but Sopranos is on of best programs ever made

Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time

As for how many times have i been to Baltimore.I worked for Hilton group there for a year in Maryland 2 locations(before the rather better Vegas) 1 being downtown.Though my old hotel is now a convention centre as well.Sure white boys wouldnt often venture to the badlands but they dont portray the squalor or the hustle and the filth,the crack heads and the tramps.It just looks like an empty sound stage in a huge studio(which of course it isnt) Dont get me wrong the huge production budgets us shows get usually ensure a v realistic backdrop to most shows.Problem is they film the scenes at 6am in the TBD projects so they have light and buildings but i guess getting real life extras from that community is not so easy. Just my take on it.I enjoy the show ,some cracking characters ,but for me it's just "good" The luvvies seem to salivitate over it though and i imagine the many readers have wet around 3 beds prior to one of it's nightly showings. The boxsets are relatively cheap as for some reason they had a shortish copyright royalty period.Well worth an addition to anyones collection though. |

Mad Men should be next imo. Excellent series.

Just been googling, Mad Men, yeah think I'll give that go next, thanks for that..

Homicide Life On The Street

i would suggest arrested development, a comedy box set would be a nice change of pace, three series, and it is a master piece. any one i have loaned it to has never said a bad word about it. comedy writing as it should be.

The Wire is over-rated by many in my view. The Sopranos is better.

"Sure white boys wouldnt often venture to the badlands but they dont portray the squalor or the hustle and the filth,the crack heads and the tramps"
Really? Because the scenes shot on the projects of the Westside of Baltimore in The Wire seem to portray that very well. Look at the character of Bubbles for example and the environment he lives and works in. Look at the boarded up vacant houses a lot of the kids live in, particularly focused on in the 4th series. Or are you saying it's even worse than it's portrayed? |
