it's still vastly superior to 100% of the goyslop put out these days so "worst" is quite relative there

just like True Detective Season 2 was way better than most TV even though it was a less good True Detective

I think I like it more because I grew up and worked in that environment and the show has it down pat.

Morning: Good work ethic, a little chit-chat

Lunchtime: A few shots and beers with the guys

Afternoon: Lazy work ethic, outright bitching replaces chit chat

Post-work: A billion shots and beers with the guys

Evening: Eat dinner and argue with the wife, go to bed

Is the show worth watching? :marseyreading:

Yes though it's kind of preachy sometimes in the 2000's liberal way (especially on the War on Drugs) but isn't near as hamfisted or annoying as current year messages.

I'm young enough that y2k liberal preaching is my default reference point so I didn't even notice it compared to modern slop.

That said I'd recommend it. It has its reputation for a reason.

We own this city is way more hamfisted with a few characters that are just there to beat David Simon's anti-war on drugs take

Still kino besides the fat black lady

It's usually talked about as one of the big 3 HBO originals.

The first episode is boring because it takes so much time introducing all the good guys and all the bad guys.

Overall it's kino, especially the first 3 seasons.

Season 5 wasn't my thing.

Season 5 is kinda outrageous but pretty decent in hindsight, because it's all about journos making up stories to get clicks. The McNulty stuff just goes off the rails

Currently rewatching it cause I need something to watch while staying up with a new born. Don't really want to pay attention to anything to hard

What about The Shield? A series that took a night-stick to the cop genre

I need rewatch watch. I watched with my dad as a kid and he loved but was like police would never do this shit

I remember it being insane but haven't put much thought to it in ages

The wire and sopranos are shows don't want to admit how many times I've watched. Just background noise when I want to turn my brain off

I am pretty washed up these days and just can't commit to new shows. Like I want to watch say nothing cause the book was great but odds are I'll not

The show as a whole has held up very well throughout the years, the characters are just as well-written as when they premiered. The seasons vary in engagement, setting and tone; tempo and pacing between the different seasons can feel "off" but by the final season it's not too terrible.

In particular, the difference in pacing of the episodes between season 1 -> season 2 alongside the entirely new places and peoples introduced can make for viewer angst but it somehow comes together later in episodes.
