it's a new world, frank. you should go out and spend some of the money on something you can touch. a new car. a new coat. it's why we get up in the morning, right?

i'm one of those jerks who doesn't have a tv and apologies for not having a tv and not knowing what's going on, and watches "one show at a time" by binging on DVDs. so this is a big moment. now it's time to be the jerk who is picking a new show to watch
― dexpresso (Z S), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 03:35 (eleven years ago) link
i am also that person, except i have a tv and all i watch on it is basketball and sometimes the news

this is a fascinating time, you feel like a roman emperor giving the thumbs up or down on whether someone will live or die. people are all six feet under, all sincerely, almost pleadingly, & you turn your thumb downwards

Z S have you watched twin peaks
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 06:25 (eleven years ago) link
Watch The Shield.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 12:25 (eleven years ago) link
There are lots of series to enjoy post-Wire (Justified,Walking Dead,Boardwalk Empire etc) but I can't get past the feeling that I am slumming it and dumbing down.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 13:03 (eleven years ago) link
lol schlump
I have watched twin peaks, but at about episode 18 on season two i just kinda stopped.
i don't know what to do. i've heard the shield is good, but not sure i'm up for a show with the imdb description "The story of an inner-city Los Angeles police precinct where some of the cops aren't above breaking the rules or working against their associates to both keep the streets safe and their self-interests intact." directly after watching the Wire! maybe in a year or two.
― dexpresso (Z S), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 13:58 (eleven years ago) link
i finally watched some of the bonus features after finishing the final episode and saw that mcnulty is english! felt like discovering samus was a girl again, in a faint desperate echo of childhood discovery kind of way
― dexpresso (Z S), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 14:00 (eleven years ago) link
Z S you can't go for any cop/police procedurals/crime thingies because they'll just remind you longingly of the wire

like you don't want to be that guy who goes to a singles bar and just takes out a picture of his ex from his wallet and looks at it w/ melancholy
you need to go hanggliding or cow tipping
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 14:09 (eleven years ago) link
hmmm maybe i should download the first season of that show where a wall quickly approaches and you have to slip through the human-shaped cutout
― dexpresso (Z S), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 14:12 (eleven years ago) link
or is that like being in the singles bar and playing big buck hunter by yourself for 2 hours
that's like watching the simpsons, there's always time for the simpsons
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 14:13 (eleven years ago) link
oooh, or maybe i'll go in the opposite direction and start watching Empire every night. and when i go out i'll tell everyone "I'm watching Empire every night, I am so obsessed", and they'll start talking about steve buscemi, and i'll disdainfully cut them off and say "No, I mean Andy Warhol's Empire, of course. It's brilliant".

― dexpresso (Z S), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 14:15 (eleven years ago) link
dude watch deadwood if you haven't already. Equally brilliant but in a way absolutely non-reminiscent of the wire and, in its way, utterly unequaled in the medium.
Also it is very fun. After the wire you can use some fun.

watch prime suspect next
― max, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
there so many good bbc miniseries from the 70s/80s that come close to or surpass the wire in quality and also require way less commitment
― max, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
prime suspect chief among them but also tinker tailor soldier spy, house of cards, edge of darkness
diners, drive-ins and dives
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
^^ I'm home full-time right now and all I do is watch Wire in the Blood, MI5, George Gently, Taggart. Things I might watch next: Prime Suspect, Collision, Place of Execution, Midsomer Murders. Don't bother with Rosemary & Thyme imo.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:51 (eleven years ago) link
xp obvs jeez
Actually MI5 is remarkably good I think and there are 10 seasons so it will love you back for a while. Maybe you don't want that kind of commitment but I say, try it.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:52 (eleven years ago) link
laurel you havent watched prime suspect yet?!?!?
― max, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:53 (eleven years ago) link
No! There was no indication it was that much better than the other dozen British crime dramas netflix shows me. I will now, though. If I can tear myself away from the ballad of Lucas North for a sec.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link
laurel it is The Best, not just best bbc crime show, The Best TV Show, period
