I used to think the wire was the best show on HBO ever. Then I started watching other shows like the Sopranos, six feet under, oz, dream on Deadwood. An ddeadwood flew up to the top of my list. yhis show ? away. I now put Deadwood a little above The Wire and the Sopranos right under wire. I still wouldn't put any of these shows in myn top five, but DEadwood would be a little better than the wire. I know the wire gets all the hype on here, but the deadwood is just as good or better.

Yes... yes it is... I've seen Oz, Sopranos, True Blood... all that ? ... go back and just watch Season 4 of the Wire... not only the best HBO show of all time... the greatest tv series of all time IMO

season 4 might be the best season in tv history... the other shows are dope too tho -
I love all of shows on HBO but The Sopranos>>>>The Wire.
I can watch The Sopranos over and over but I know I'll get tired of The Wire even through The Wire is classic show of all time.
HBO is the ? . Showtime was okay but I only like Dexter show on Showtime. -
I just watched the wire again and to me Deadwood====The Wire
Season 2 and 5 of the wire were ok to bad.
I would put the Wire 2nd on HBO all-time list and around 8 on my all-time list with shows like the Farscape, Lost, The Sheild, Friday Night Lights and a couple of other shows a feel arer better.
I can't give the Wire greatest show props. -
The Wire is a great show, but it's hard to say that is the best HBO show. I think all the HBO shows are of comparable quality and the "best" depends on personal preference.
-
Season 2 and 5 is what holds the wire back.. so in sayin that id have to go with Sopranos..
Wasnt Rome on HBO also!?! that was my ? !
Big Love is good also.. HBO jus be killin with the shiws period.. im go have to check Deadwood out since yall puttin it up there... -
The Sopranos is my ?
-
season 4 of the wire was so great.
but the best show ever? depends on who you ask
def my fave -
Liked Rome more, but The Wire is definitely my number two. Deadwood then Sopranos after that. Biased, but I'm expecting Game of Thrones to move to the top of my list when the second season hits. Can't ignore Boardwalk Empire either.

All just as good or better. It really depends on a persons' taste. If you don't like history and/or sword fights, then Rome isn't for you. GOT is fantasy, which some don't care for. But, I've always loved the Sopranos. -
Question....
The scene where the mayor was gettin his ? sucked by his secretary.. Was that a real scene?... That ? looked like a real life porno -
As far as I'm concerned yes it is. But that's not a knock on any other series that's on or was on hbo. As many others are quality as well. But it's just that the wire set the bar so high, that it makes many other shows seem very contrived by comparison. But for what it's worth I enjoyed deadwood, oz, and I also like curb your enthusiasm, and boardwalk empire. And the sopranos was good. But around season 6 was when it started to get weak with those pointless dream sequences.

You mean when Tony got shot? -

Yes. where he went into a coma. it was all fluff, pseudo-art house drivel with no true substance. and what was even worse was the focal point and the main storyline was then shifted to vito. i honestly felt like i didnt want to even finish the entire season. the faggotry was too overwhelming -
Yeeeeeeeeessss! Better than the soprano's! I trying to find where I can purchase the seasons on dvd. I love it! Especially wee-bay! the way omar went out was terrible! Stringer was a snitch! Chris n snoop was gansta! Michael is the next omar! Damn I miss that show.

Ha! her head game waaaaccck! ? ? me when they got to use hands to suck a ? ! Lol -
the only season i liked from the Wire was the one that focused on teh kids it was too real especially since i was about the same age they were playing
im stuck on Season 6 of the sopraenos when tony is in the coma lol questioning is it even worth it to bang out the rest of the episodes especialyl since i know how it ends -_- -
no love for Entourage anymore ? I know season 7 wasn't all that great, but that show has some classic episodes
-
yea i would put wire just over soprano's. those america undercover junts HBO used to do were classic aswell. The DC jail special, and the homeless heroin addicts in Seattle was great tv.

Never watched Deadwood but everybody that has says that its a good show.
The Wire to me is the best show that has ever been on television. Im not saying it because im biased but because no other show has been that accurate in its betrayal of not only the streets but the police and the politicians also. Alot of ppl didnt like saeson 2 but after you realize the importance of that season and watch over that season maybe the third best one after the fourth and the first. -
yes. its not only the best on HBO, its one of the best series'. period. on any network.
and I'd put Big Love as probably 3rd best ever on HBO -
season tewwww was as good as any. it exposed a whole nother side of the corruption and drug game and basically set the foundation for the rest of the series.

Most ? in the hood like the wire more because of the street aspect. You'll hear most say that season 2 was the worst, when in actuality it was one of the best, like some said earlier. The wire season 5 got too far gone with the fake serial killer ? . I mean, they went from being really reality-based, to some other ? .
Like I said, it really depends on your personal taste, because like with me, I'm not high on deadwood or entourage. Not saying they aren't good shows, just not my type. But, the way Game Of Thrones is shaping up, DAMN!!!! IF you can get past it being a fantasy show, then the story/plot are top-notch. Good acting, scenery, everything.
Also, if you like history-based shows, then you should definitely check out Rome. Lucious Vurenious and Titus Pullo played excellent roles. You know that Ceaser dies, but how they get there is a refreshing way to tell the story.
Also, Boardwalk Empire has me fiending for season 2. -
Boardwalk Empire is my ? .
No love for True Blood?, that's bad ass vampire show.
