I’ve got 4 more episodes of series 2 to finish before s3 starts on Wednesday

After rewatching it it’s definitely in the same bracket as the wire and sopranos if not better .

My comment regard me being late to the party was borne out by the fact that on both The Wire and Sopranos, I never believed the hype surrounding them. I caved in and started watching them as they reached their final episodes and was hooked. Bought the Wire box sets, and series linked all the Sopranos on Sky Atlantic. I reckon Wire shades it, just.
 
Thanks for that
I’ll try it next week
Not really a telly person
Sport , news , documentaries and wildlife programmes are my thing.
Cutting back big time on the drink and only working 39 he week so time on my hands

i done the same on the wire . Started watching it after it finished and have watched it multiple times since . I started watching the sopranos as series 5 started . Sometimes it’s better waiting for a show to finish then At least you’ll know if it’s worth watching as it’ll be loved or hated .

The hours I’ve wasted by watching a show from the start then realise after a few seasons it’s actually crap annoys me . .

Watched a few episodes of both while they were on, but same here - got both as box sets well after they finished. Both are fantastic and kind of set the benchmark for everything else. The box set behind the scenes stuff is ace too.

I think the wire is a lot better than the sopranos. Not to diminish the sopranos in any way back use its brilliant in its own right.

I like how the wire seems like a police show but is much bigger in concept. It's based on a broken city/society and each season highlights a facet of it that is broken and why.
It has the corruptible people as a running theme in parallel to the arc of baltimore itself.

It also got littlefinger in doing a similar accent.

Think I’m going to get True Detective season one on BluRay @COYBL25 - you’ve been very consistent in your praise for a while.

It won`t disappoint I promise you.

Watch it with the subtitles on, as you miss key bits due to the Southern drawl being hard to understand in parts.

Also if you`ve got kids, never ever put it on when they are around.

You have been warned ;)
