What do you think the best show on HBO is? PKA 546 PODCAST CLIPS ►► kzbin.info/aero/PL3TI5YrC9y_07wDLBZGcJvUhqDRoIPK7u

[@captainweekend5276]

One of the things that really impresses me with the sopranos is how it uses cuts to assist in story telling or to make a point, like when the guy gets his car robbed by a couple black guys, and he shouts the gamer word and gets told off by his wife. The scene ends with him asking his wife "well who else would it be?" Only to have it cut to Tony looking at a picture of the guy's car, revealing that he was the one who hired the black guys to steal the cars for him.

[@sionKatana]

I love hearing them talk about the Sopranos

[@etherealwrld5617]

same bro

[@spritemultipack]

I'm addicted to sopranos clips

[@chipsthedog1]

The wire is hands down the best show I've ever seen not HBO but recently I was impressed with the Last Kingdom on Netflix and an Australian show called Mr Inbetween about a hard man/hitman which is surprisingly good. If you have never heard of Mr Inbetween I highly recommend searching out a few clips from KZbin to get a feel of the show

[@maggyfrog]

i highly recommend to you an italian series called "gomorra la serie". it's the darkest mafia show i've ever heard of. as much as i love the sopranos, gomorra makes the sopranos look like the kiddie version of italian mafia. once you've watched even just the first season of gomorra, you'll know what i mean.

[@chipsthedog1]

@@maggyfrog I will definitely give it a go, do you know if it is on Netflix?

[@EmanAugust]

The Wire Season 2 is honestly pretty great on rewatch.

[@oatsandbananas]

i thought season 1 was amazing. just watched it for the first time but i can barely get through the first episode of season 2

[@Micolashcage1]

Season 2 went from being from my least favorite season on my first watch to one of my favorite seasons on my 2nd watch and Ive heard many people feel the same. It does feel like almost a completely different show comparing to the rest of the seasons though, so I can see why it can be off-putting during the first watch through Season 4 might be the best season of any show hands down imo

[@sallyspits]

I really like Season 2, I don't know why it gets hate. I think Sobotka is a great character.

[@50StichesSteel]

True Detective...One of the best TV series ever made.....Just season 1 though

Watching season 3 atm, obviously doesn’t touch 1 but would still recommend if you haven’t seen yet

@@50StichesSteel Ya I didn’t even bother with 2. 3 seems to enjoy similar writing as the first but differentiates itself enough to be a solid standalone show. Cheers man

The man who played Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri was a real mobster . And he spent a lot of time in jail. All of his movements reflect that. Actual gangsters all say that he really made the whole thing believable.

[@ant9072]

I read he had more times in jail, than acting jobs when they hired him .

[@gator4458]

Yeah I saw an old interview of him before the Sopranos. I'm not sure if its still on KZbin or not.

[@MoarMike]

Yup, Tony Sirico was never "made" but was a high level associate of the Colombo Family during the Gallo wars in the late 60s/early 70s. When Paulie says "I survived the 70s by the skin of my nuts"....he aint kidding

[@FuzzyDlop]

Nope, it doesn't. Season 1 to 4 the show is a masterpiece. Season 5 is ok, while season 6 is the ridiculous one. People like you always have a case of selective memory but the most of the show was a masterpiece.

[@carclain123]

It's a dumb show. "We're gonna do an 'experiment' except it's still just a normal prison except now there's more rape and killing then ever before, and for some reason the mayor keeps getting re elected by running on a campaign to take away TV in the prison that is apparently very important but has no oversight"

during the last season of game of thrones is when i started watching it. watched the entire series within 2 weeks and lined it up perfectly with the finale. could not have done it any better.

[@SeemsLogical]

We were in the golden age of television in the 2000s and we didn't know it. Video games golden era was late 2000s early 2010s. After those years streaming services, pay walls, microtransactions and running them to make money ruined the art not long after.

[@philmccrackin6687]

I mean no disrespect but I wish Taylor and Woody would have a talk with Kyle about him talking over EVERYBODY

[@kogn5338]

Sopranos also has the best writing by far. I'm Rewatching Oz and in some parts its like a child wrote it, everyone is way too direct and theatrical. They do not talk like real people lol.

[@SeemsLogical]

I have to disagree. The Wire has better writing. There's so much subtle detail to the Wire that some of the nuances of the scene you won't pick up on until you've watched it multiple times. For instance, one of the opening scenes talks about how to play chess. D'Angelo starts talking about how each of the pieces can be moved and their importance on the board. The boys start naming people they know who remind them of those pieces: Avon Barksdale as the king, Stringer Bell as the Queen, etc. one of the boys learning the game is named Bodie and Bodie is transfixed on the pawns and tries to apply checkers rule sets to Chess stating that if he can get the pawn to the other side he gets to be king. To which D'Angelo replies "Nah, pawns be out the game early." And Bodie responds "unless they some smart ass pawns." In real life chess pawns can never become King but if they reach the other side they do get to bexome a Queen to move freely along the board. Fast forward a bit and Bodie is fighting to keep his street corner. If you watch his movements you will see that when he shoots he always shoots diagonally, like how a pawn does on a chess board. The 2 attackers he is aiming at are advancing on him, hiding behind cars, much like how Bishops move. Behind Bodie and unseen attacker moves forward through an alley and then moves left, in the shape of an L... moving like a knight. Those subtle nuances are things that get explained early in the show and are hidden throughout the scenes that you will miss if you aren't paying close attention. The Sopranos is a great show but The Wire is on another level. The Wire is the best written show of its era for how much detail they pack into a scene and how they don't insult the audience's intelligence by constantly spelling it out or dumbing it down so the audience gets the "full story" of what the writers are trying to show.

[@zephirol4638]

The only way you can really hate on GoT the way people do is if you're not looking at it as just a blip in history, but expecting some grand conclusion. This was never going to be a happily ever after, or end of the world thing like everyone seems to have wanted.

[@andresgalindo7682]

Game of Thrones, westworld and all new CGI tv shows are not in the same box of OZ, Sopranos and the Wire. it was a complete different generation of television when the CGI was not the main topic in television but the acting was
