Guest abusivegeorge Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 It's The Wire for me for this reason: I had no idea who Idris Elba is until I met him in London in 2009 with a friend (my friend is a friend of Idris). I then discovered who he is and what he does, so I began to watch the Wire, not only did I think it was awesome and he's a great actor but he's a genuine, humble guy. He grew up in London and it wasn't a privileged childhood (he lived in Hackney) and put all his strength into making sure he was going to be successful. However, I have only seen the first season of Breaking Bad and I think it's tops, I need get to watching the rest ;-) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/81669-breaking-bad-or-the-wire/page/4/#findComment-2108857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skibby Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) the wire is supposed to be realistic (which i find redundant,) and breaking bad bears almost no semblance to any mistakable form of realism at all, and its a black comedy. practically no set continuity, etc. its like comparing the simpsons to family guy. family guy can talk about the real world and what is on other channels, simpsons is simpsonified. 2 different shows, styles, angles, genres. whats better, the 808 or the 909? whats better for your teeth, toms toothpaste or crest? whats better koolaid, grape or raspberry?

Guest A/D Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 George! Haven't seen you in a while [: I think you'll grow more as a person from seeing The Wire.

I said EXACTLY why I like the wire. Because I met the man behind the actor. This affinity gave me extra enjoyabality for the show. Also, I would never have watched The Wire had I not met him. I enjoyed The Wire, more than I have enjoyed Breaking Bad. However that may not have been the case, had I not met Idris, because I wouldn't have the watched The Wire. So meeting Idris, is the main reason for me enjoying The Wire more than Breaking Bad. So I prefer The Wire, over Breaking Bad. Is this explained enough for you :)?

pcock Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 the wire was much better, breaking bad was more enjoyable. i have a penchance for easygoing, addictive tv though. i like the league, for gods sake. also, idris elba is a riduclous name.
