Chris Moss Acid Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 for the past 3 months ive quite joyfully watched 5 seasons of the wire, just before bed, usually watching 3 episodes a night or so, i've laughed, ive cried, ive been thrilled by the magnus opus of The Wire. but now, i only have 3 more episodes left in series 5. what even comes close to the wire? i need somethign which will replace my nightly 'hbo' series, if that what you can call it. ive been so into the wire, i just dont think anything can replace it. so i may have to watch it all over again. unless there is somthing worth getting which is 5+ seasons long. help me watmm your my only hope. 4 herc Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46470-wtf-am-i-going-to-do/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 i'm the same with battlestar right now except i'm only on season 2. 3 episodes a night is my limit. "what will occupy my brain when this finishes? i'll have to face my real life... " i somehow (the wife) managed to watch 4 seasons of the wire and never finish the show.

Guest analogue wings Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 You have 3 choices 1. Twin Peaks 2. The Kingdom / Riget 3.

Not really a comedy more of a drama/crime/psychological thriller but there is a good amount of comic relief done in typical David Lynch super-bizarre fashion i.e. the log lady who carries around a log that she talks to.

thehauntingsoul Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) word. also check out Arrested Development if you haven't. Really hilarious comedy, only 3 seasons so its not a huge commitment, and the drama/character interaction/story arch is incredibly complex and fantastically written leaving you with a cliffhanger of some sort after each episode. also, there's David Cross, which is a total selling point on its own Edited June 12, 2009 by thehauntingsoul Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide thehauntingsoul's signature Hide all signatures Last.fm SteamID: Thehauntingsoul My EP Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46470-wtf-am-i-going-to-do/#findComment-1063263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Etch Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sopranos is the answer. Im not going to get into the whole Wire vs Sopranos debate, but in my opinion Sopranos is still superior.
