I watched it on FX in 2008/9 from the start and thought it was good, no ****er knew what i was on about then a couple of years ago everyone started creaming their knickers over it. The initial story was good but then it turned into Hollyoaks with swearing and drugs.
First 2 seasons were passable as something average. The rest, with all the added political drama bollocks was ****e.
A mate went on and on about The Wire saying it was the best thing he'd ever seen. Gave me the box set of the first series to watch. "Did you watch it?" "Aye." "Good eh?" "Erm, sure" "Do you want to borrow the second series?" "Erm, nah, no really" "Why no?" "Cause it's s**te" "Oh" We're still friends
It used to be drugs but when you hit your 30s it becomes box sets of American and Scandanavian dramas, man.
The Wire was fantastic and toss up what was better ie The Wire or Breaking Bad so can't decide both equal and lads you'd want to stay in more. ps gonna watch The Shield when the weather turns so watch this space,
Breaking Bad is brilliant. I wish I could erase all memory of it from my brain so that I could watch it again.
