The Sopranos: Best Show Ever?

[ScalsFan21]

BB and the Wire were better IMO, but it's almost impossible to beat Sopranos in terms of TV characters. It was more stacked than GSW.

I agree. I started to watch this show again. And I love the earlier episodes.

I started watching it again recently for the 4th time I think. I swear it gets better every time. So ridiculously well-written and layered. Most shows that rely solely on plot and are lacking in any interesting characters lose all their luster after the first viewing and they have no replay value.

Not this show though.

Breaking Bad

Watched the wire after making that post, BB seems so mediocre now, the wire

Agreed. The Sopranos beats BB handidly in rewatchability. Once you know what you know, s4 loses a lot of its weight whereas The Sopranos never relied on plot points to make it great - it's truly the only 'real' character study in TV, and it may be the only show that is high art.

Yeah one of my college friends was a huge BB fan. Watched The Wire while he was applying for jobs. He loved it far more.

if fargo keeps up at its current pace, i think it can certainly be added to the discussion.

Damn niggah.

The season of the wire where the dude put the red ribbons on homeless people to get money ?



Terrible. Absolutely horrible.

Made the overall grade of the series go way down.

Sopranos > wire

I have yet to watch The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad. I haven't had the time in the past 6 months to really watch them.
