Chris Moss Acid Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 for the past 3 months ive quite joyfully watched 5 seasons of the wire, just before bed, usually watching 3 episodes a night or so, i've laughed, ive cried, ive been thrilled by the magnus opus of The Wire. but now, i only have 3 more episodes left in series 5. what even comes close to the wire? i need somethign which will replace my nightly 'hbo' series, if that what you can call it. ive been so into the wire, i just dont think anything can replace it. so i may have to watch it all over again. unless there is somthing worth getting which is 5+ seasons long. help me watmm your my only hope. 4 herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i'm the same with battlestar right now except i'm only on season 2. 3 episodes a night is my limit. "what will occupy my brain when this finishes? i'll have to face my real life... " i somehow (the wife) managed to watch 4 seasons of the wire and never finish the show.

tec Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It's completely different but I quite enjoyed Six Feet Under as a replacement, I'm just about to start work on Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest analogue wings Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You have 3 choices 1. Twin Peaks 2. The Kingdom / Riget 3. Stop watching TV and make an acid album about the Wire *keen to hear "Bunk Acid"* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehauntingsoul Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just watch season one of Twin Peaks every week and cry myself to sleep on Sunday this If you haven't seen twin peaks, definately give it a try. Not really a comedy more of a drama/crime/psychological thriller but there is a good amount of comic relief done in typical David Lynch super-bizarre fashion i.e. the log lady who carries around a log that she talks to.

Chris Moss Acid Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 3. Stop watching TV and make an acid album about the Wire *keen to hear "Bunk Acid"* this probally, but the old 101 is un-well, hence no music for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehauntingsoul Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 word. also check out Arrested Development if you haven't. Really hilarious comedy, only 3 seasons so its not a huge commitment, and the drama/character interaction/story arch is incredibly complex and fantastically written leaving you with a cliffhanger of some sort after each episode. also, there's David Cross, which is a total selling point on its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Etch Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sopranos is the answer. Im not going to get into the whole Wire vs Sopranos debate, but in my opinion Sopranos is still superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
