I love both TS, you silly billy.
Elba was great, though I think that he was a little overly pensive in how he portrayed Bell. Just a little bit, it was still a fantastic performance.
Luther was fucking awesome.
It really was very, very, very good. I just think he overdid it a tiny amount at times. I actually think Wood Harris was better because Bell was a little too much. Still one of the best performances out there (not as good as in Luther though).We'll have to agree to disagree about his acting performance in The Wire. I thought he was nigh perfect.
I'm hardly a detractor. I think it is the second best show ever to air on television. And, again, one could counter critics of Breaking Bad in the same way. The machine gun was only one thing but detractors cling to it like a life raft. Unfortunately, the serial killer angle was far more relevant to the fifth season of The Wire--it drove investigations, the fall of several key characters, and the newspaper story line--than the machine gun was.
Both are great shows but The Wire devotees always seem pretty hipsterish in their criticisms of Breaking Bad. Frankly the criticisms levied seem quite niggling.
I can't prove Breaking Bad was the best anymore than you can prove The Wire is the best. Both were fantastic. In my opinion the overall run of Breaking Bad was more coherent and stronger but I don't disagree that the best episodes of The Wire were as good or possibly even better than the best episodes of Breaking Bad.You played the hipster card; I guess that's easier than illustrating why you feel Breaking Bad is on a higher level.
Why don't you try?
Prove Breaking Bad was the best. Show what it had. Give examples of great writing, great character development, complex story telling. Anything.
Or, you can play another round of "I know you are but what am I" and just flip everything around again. That's always fun.
I wasn't a fan of the school stuff.
S3 is about as good as a tv show can get.
If Game of Thrones Characters Were on The Wire, Who Would They Be?

Game of thrones is incredibly well acted
No clue what you're talking about. The Wire is the GOAT, but I easily get more excited for new GoT episodes than any other show on television right now.It seems that most people who like the Wire don't like GOT
Does anyone around here like both?
Take it one word at a time.wat.
wat.
