I was just talking with my son's about the Wire. That and Sopranos ushered in a new Era of television. That's when HBO showed that a non network channel could make seriously entertaining content. Free of the confines of broadcast TV they were able to mesh the best of R rated movies and TV series into some of the best shows ever made.
@satyris410 11 місяців тому
I remember there being lots of talk about HBO back in the early aughts. I'm in the UK so we have a different TV situation, everyone used to get 5 channels and anything else was satellite TV, just like cable in the US. We didn't grow up with these standalone channels like HBO and Encore. So when people started talking about these TV shows in reverential terms, pilot episodes that cost $10million, we started to take note. Lost was the first hyper hyped TV show I remember being excited about, it was TV-as-event, when what's on makes the evening news. Then it went off the boil a little, Lost introduced me to the concept of the mid-season break which was coincidentally where I lost interest in Lost. Just finished The Wire, now I've just started Sopranos for my first proper watch thru

@TheGr8-1 Рік тому
The real goat of TV series. Sopranos, BB & Better Call Saul is also up there. But The Wire is really just modern Shakespeare. Just incredibly nuanced. The one thing I will say though, where BB has over both TW AND The Soprano’s was how it stuck the landing. TW didn’t flub the ending completely, it was just a bit rushed. The Sopranos ending was a big let down. I understand it more now that I’m older but that doesn’t change that leaving it so ambiguous like that hurt the overall series IMO but BB was a perfect bow on the entire series. Also I think Boardwalk Empire is also deserving of an honorable mention.

There is a lot to like to about this clip, but the two things I like best is how Clifford developed and how down to earth he is midway through a career like that.

Like how it adds a perspective to the community, an option that people in the community typically do not perceive.
