TV Series

I’m watching We Own This City.

The Wire is, in my opinion the greatest work of television ever and among the greatest works of fiction ever. Just pure 10/10 stuff.

For me TV goes:

The Wire
The Sopranos / The West Wing



Everything Else.


This is right up there though. The realism made even more real by the fact it’s a true story.

I can see why some people would find the short scenes and timeline jumps irritating but once you getting into its unique flow you get the hang of it.

Sublime television. Brilliant to see so much of the Wire cast back together. And the jazz theme music is fantastic.

Have you watched The Deuce? Made by same people. Nobody saw it. Literally nobody. IMO it’s better than The Wire.

The Deuce was fantastic. Me and Missus watched all of them.

Franco very good.

It's an opinion, but I looked at it as coming from a different slant.

Enjoyed it, myself.

The Deuce is amazing! Not quite as good as the wire for me though. David Simon is a brilliant writer.

Have you seen "Show me a hero"? Also excellent and based on a true story.

Yes great series as with all the David Simon stuff, I’ve watched them all except
‘Homicide Life on the Street‘ it’s never been streamed , so I’ve good ordered the DVD box set.

The Deuce was excellent, especially James Franco playing the twins.
Not as good as The Wire IMHO

Its not on in the UK yet, but by the power of the Internet I've managed to watch the first few. Have to say its really well done. A must watch if you're a fan of the film and interested in what behind the scenes Hollywood was like back then.

Am currently laid up ill and so watched all 10 episodes yesterday.

It doesn’t seem to have gone down all that well with the critics but I enjoyed it.

Another good one is the Irish crime/noir series Kin.
