David Simon said that tons of rappers had approached them wanting to be in The Wire but Method was the only one who stood up to the mark. And he was excellent too, literally everyone who watched the show jumped for joy when Slim Charles killed Cheese, and that's a mark of his talent. I'd like to see him do more acting tbh.

I've watched about 5 episodes of Love/Hate. Need to continue on with that, was really enjoying it. Also, Gomorrah, Italian TV series based on the book/film Gomorrah. It's brilliant!

You fail to grasp what I'm saying, Oz was groundbreaking in that it had no clear main characters who you knew were more or less untouchable. In the Wire you pretty much knew none of the cops would get killed so there was that.
@upsetdasetup52996 років тому
It's all subjective of course,but it seems to me that you fail to grasp that the wire's main characters were amongst the best in tv history and just because they failed to get killed of does not diminish the strength of the show,it's all dependant on the storytelling and the narrative.Simply put the show didn't call for certain characters to get killed off to enhance its status,as opposed to something like Game of Thrones which does need certain characters to die.I liked Oz it was good tv,but the wire is the best ever,imo but also in most reputable top 10 reviews of all time.
@FuckGoogle26 років тому
I don't fail to grasp any of it, I'm just saying Oz broke the mold that has to be broken for a show to have that nerve. The Wire was very well written and even though the summary that the players change but the game stay the same has been said before their delivery was top level.

@Tol1as2 роки тому
@@j_obaymaac2886 For real, Oz might not been as good as the Wire or the Sopranos but it pushed the envelope so far in what was acceptable in a show. First episode a guy is burned alive (that the show tricks you into thinking is the protagonist), later you have prison rape, dicks galore, homosexual relationships, guard abuse, ultra-realistic crimes in flashbacks, regular Nazi characters. All of those things had been a big no-no even for cable at the time. Oz opened the gates for every show that followed and it deserves huge props for that.
