I've been thinking about this alot recently. I'm not sure which one I prefer. The Wire is straight and uncompromising, while the Sopranos has irony.
Which one is better?
I'd personally always choose a punk band over an opera singer, so it's easy for me.
(OK, they're not The Wire. Oh well. Haven't seen either TV show.)
The Wire had more depth to it. Seemed less showy than The Sopranos did on occasion.
Big Oz fan also, but again, The Wire was the complete package, and for my money, doesn't have the flat spots of the other competitors.
And in conclosuion, The Sopranos didn't have this guy...
Case closed.
The Soprannons had a bit more soap opera in it whereas the Wire had more grit. They are both up there in my opinion.
all in all I thought the sopranos was pretty meh (yes I have seen the entire fkg thing).
it should have been more like COPLAND.
Sopranos by a nose.
i reckon The Wire.
loved Sopranos, but the comical elements mark it out as entertainment, while the Wire was more pure drama.
sopranos. the wire gets a very, very close second ya feel me.
what's up with you people?! the wire of course! watching it for the 5th time....
sopranos. sentimental fave.
oz doesn';t even come close to the wire or the sopranos
Is this contest down to the Wire?
Nah, Sopranos loses
sum it up in the themes - alabama 3 vs tom waits.
the wire for sure.. i don't think i'll see a better tv series for a long time, if ever..
the sopranos theme song is so lame
