sopranos because i am fucking sick to death of wire stans.
― Just Johnson (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 14 December 2008 00:48 (fifteen years ago) link
i guess there's something i like more about the sopranos' storytelling, it was more ambitious, more theatrical in a way, than the wire, which was very good at being straight-up layered journalistic narrative but was maybe too unwavering in its tone, or something. and ya, i thought the plain-jane look it had, the unobtrusive cinematography, had something going for it, but i want more sometimes.

^^ yeah. 'the wire', which i love, basically keeps a continuous pace right the way through. it was stronger on narrative, but didn't reach beyond that as often as one might have liked. i'm probably brooding on s05 still, but i admire the lack of thesis in 'the sopranos'. DS's fatalism is going to date real fast.

One thing in The Wire's favour is that at least none of the cast have gone on to release books entitled something like "HOW TO BE A BLACK MAN"

I voted for The Wire, but if it was a contest between "greatest TV shows of all time" I would have been tempted to vote Sopranos. Sopranos was a great TV show; the Wire seems like a... video-book or something. Sopranos had a lot of filler episodes like TV does. In retrospect the show seems kind of sloppy and unfocused past the first two seasons - lots of loose ends never got tied off, kind of like in most TV shows, and for that matter real life. The Sopranos is a better show to watch one episode every week or two while The Wire is the book you can't put down.
I own a few seasons of each and that is exactly how I re-watch them: With the Sopranos, I can just pop in a great favorite episode every once in a while; with The Wire, I start at Ep1 and keep watching it until the season is done (usually taking me about a week).

― s1ocki, Sunday, 14 December 2008 19:43 (fifteen years ago) link
not really recalling 'filler' eps of 'the sopranos'.
it wasn't trying to do a tight, 19th-century-novel, everything-connects narrative.
the only ep i can remember not liking was the one where mike figgis was all like, "I know, let's use handheld cameras!"
― the cream of some young guy (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 14 December 2008 19:59 (fifteen years ago) link
last two seasons had loads - or it was just more like two thirds of an episode on many occasions was aimless and achingly obscure. obv there were great ones too - i really enjoyed the last half of the final season.

to be fair, there was stuff i never really liked on the sopranos--anything having to do with the entertainment industry or christopher's movie or that shit. but it hardly dinged the show as a whole.

As someone who to feel that The Sopranos is a well-assembled but ultimately pointless and awful and insanely overrated show, I would like to applaud fifty-eight seventy-thirds of you for your judgment.
