May 14, 2015 I'll watch The Wire, only show out of the 3 i've never seen, not even one episode. Might aswell begin now
May 14, 2015 lol, dude, it's not a concern, it's a negative aspect that you can point out. The fact of the matter is that there was multiple times that in the real world a bunch of characters would've been dead or locked up. a lot of plot armor which is fine because that's what the show was going for, but it's not realistic like The Wire is. and we can disagree without you saying that I don't know how to analyze a show..seriously wtf is that i know you love breaking bad but I also disagree about the character development.. BB focuses thru the scope of 1 man, mostly, but The Wire deals with countless characters and develops a lot of them. Cutty for example was a great character and it was awesome seeing how he ended up. I really enjoyed his story more than any other minor character on BB.
May 14, 2015 Yeah there's no way I enjoyed Cutty's arc more than Jesse's or Gus's or Mike's. If you're coming at Breaking Bad with criticisms about how realistic it is, you're doing it wrong. that's all.
May 14, 2015 ^not true. And I'm not sure how you can necessarily detract from Cutty's arc by citing Gus' anyhow It's hard but I've gotta go: 1. Wire 2. Sopranos 3. Breaking Bad
May 14, 2015 Real talk, I'll cosign that it's better the second time. There's sooooo much s--- you pick up that you didn't the first time around because you're so focused on keeping track of what's happening and who's who. And it's not even tiny easter eggs (though there are those too), its a lot of big stuff too. Appreciated the second season a lot more the second time. Made me realize how important prop joe is to...well, pretty much everything.
May 14, 2015 Only just finished watching it in March but that's the impression I got too. That he was one of the wiser people on the show, did what needed to be done and knew when to put personal feelings aside for business. I wanna start a rewatch but I'm afraid that it's too soon and that I'll lose interest
May 14, 2015 Give it six months and go again. That's what I did and I was equally engaged the second time.
May 15, 2015 Good idea. It's getting to be about time for my annual Breaking Bad rewatch anyways. Any other good shows to recommend? I feel like I've seen all of the universally acclaimed ones.
May 15, 2015 I don't really want to cite situations where certain characters should've been f----- over or certain characters should've died but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. There's this sense of accuracy and perfection with certain situations that just wouldn't happen in real life. That's a criticism even if the creators of the show intended for that to happen.
May 15, 2015 I think its an inconsequential criticism because it doesnt affect the quality of the show -- but you seem to think it does. thats the only difference between our POVs m8
May 15, 2015 and cmon you didn't like Cutty's arch?? Pretty much every scene he was in is awesome.. His interactions with Avon are gold, and the Fruit storyline is good too
May 15, 2015 Read a few posts back, before you brought him up I cited him as one of the storylines I was always intrigued by lol I just disagreed with you placing his arc above any minor characters from BB
