I love BB but in all seriousness the wire is far better than it. The "number 1 votes" is telling. A lot of people who have seen the wire have it number one, but far more people have seen BB because of how much it blew up last year.

Not seen Mad Men yet.
 
You voted for Spartacus. Your opinion is invalid.
I loved it, should have been top 10 IMO

AD I have seen all of it, but would never consider it one of my favourite shows. Also the last season was awful as was the return recently
 
Bryan Cranston is a far better actor that Dominic Cooper (or any other actor who played in The Wire). And Ozymandias is better than any episode on The Wire. And Walter White is a far better character than anyone on The Wire.

And Jessie says better 'bitch' than the senator 'shiiiieeeet'.
 
I haven't seen The Wire. It's been on my to-watch list for a while (along with The Sopranos) but I've heard good things.

Really don't understand the hate for Breaking Bad - I put it as my number 3. It's fecking great.

The only 'hate' you'll get is from people who have seen both. The Wire is so impressive in so many ways, ground breaking TV as well for huge parts. Of course BB is great, no one is contesting that. Season 4 of The Wire is as close to TV perfection as I've ever seen.
 
Seconded on season 4 of The Wire. That was alchemic.

I can live with Breaking Bad on top, it's an excellent show in it's own right.

Is anyone here a fan of Justified?
 

Elaborate on what you disagree. I can understand someone saying that The Wire is a better TV show (though for me they are almost equal) and I like Idris Elba, but no chance in hell that he is the half of actor that Bryan Cranston is.

For the sake of curiosity, I had Breaking Bad in the third position and The Wire on the fourth position.
 
I think the list would look pretty different in just a few years. I expect Spartacus would struggle to stay top 50.

The Wire has about 50 great actors.
 
I had Breaking Bad on my list higher than The Wire. At the time of voting I had only seen Seasons one and two of The Wire. I had Breaking Bad in second. Having finished The Wire, season 3 tonight, it would move up on my list. Possibly to third or 4th. Still behind Breaking Bad at the moment. It's possible that by the time I've finished, I will rate the Wire higher, but it's not a definite. I do have Breaking bad as my second favourite show of all time.

The Wire nuts who act like it's some sort of crime to not have it in number one spot are over the top. I rate the Sopranos way higher than any other show I've seen. Three seasons into the Wire and it doesn't compare to the Sopranos in my opinion.
