Just starting a rewatch of The Wire. Best TV show ever. It's funny on a rewatch tom see how they basically lay out McNulty's entire character right from the first episode. Definitely one of the best examples of cunt but likeable in TV history.

Seconded on best show ever. Season 2 on a rewatch is way better as well. Across the seasons you see way more things that tie up later. Bubbles arch is also fantastic.

Not one bad season or episode.
Last time I did the rewatch I started with The Corner and finished with We Own This City.

Starting a rewatch of The Deuce which far too many folks slept on.

David Simon:best lad.

Didn't think that'd be my bag but it kept me interested throughout.

Also in the middle of a rewatch of The Wire. Half way through S02. Still the best show ever made, hands down. Not even close.

A scene that pops into my head regularly:

[Ollkiller]

The Deuce and We Own This City are well good. Not as captivating as The Wire but great tv nonetheless.

[Carnage]

The Wire is untouchable alright, definitely the best TV series I've seen. The Corner is another excellent watch, a good warm up for it. I didn't think much of We Own This City TBH, mainly due to Bernthal's involvement, I can't stand him.

Not familiar with The Deuce, is that the one about the porn scene?

Bernthal was great, he can be a bit of a dose at times but he did his homework on the guy he was playing there.


Yeah The Deuce is a mix of the golden age of the NY porn business, how grimy the city was in general, the mob, the Pimps, sex workers,the mayors office, the arrival of AIDs and what it was like before that dickhead Giuliani turned it into a theme park.


Similar to The Wire in terms of the way all the threads connect.

[Emphyrio]

I like Bernthal but didn't think We Own...was great. Twas grand like.

[Maggot Colony]

The Wire is great, but there's a big dip in quality in Season 5. The newsroom scenes feel like a completely different show, and McNulty's fake serial killer plot is just ridiculous.

[Ollkiller]

Big shout out to the arc of Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski. The biggest fuck up of a cop to a proper educator. All this talk means im gonna have yo do a re watch now.
Never actually watched The Corner so gonna start with that.

Just watched the first episode of Adolescence. Wow. I don't care about the culture war crap around it, I'm just interested in the story and I'm immediately hooked. It's gripping stuff. The acting, the direction, the unfolding story... it's an emotional hammering really. Powerful stuff.

Edit. We finished up watching this this evening. It was brilliant. Really, really hard hitting and heart breaking to see the fallout within his own family and highlights the dangers that are out there online for young people. I mean, we are all aware of those possibilities, but I think the dramatisation captured it really well. But the part the really got me was when a young Jason Voorhees lepped up out of the lake covered in green slime right at the end. I honestly didn't see it coming, and I should have having only watched Friday the 13th the other evening... bhí mo chroí í mo feckin bhéal, go tobann!

Rewatching 'Community', even the pilot is brilliant. Comedy gold.

I'm always surprised it wasn't more popular than it was. It's more of a cult hit but feels like it should have been mainstream famous.

[OpenSores]

Totally, very very well written.
