Is this the Greatest TV Show EVER? | The Wire 

What's your favourite TV show of all time?

The Wire is absolutely the greatest TV show ever made. It put a real life city with all its problems on screen.

Your recommendation are always good! 👍 and "The Wire" is added to my Watchlist

The Wire, Breaking bad and The Sopranos are the holy Trinity of TV shows

I'm 8 episodes in and already intrigued. The build-up so far is so well laid and the characters are very well written. IMO, this show is well paced!

The number of times he blinked would be the number of times i would recommend the show 🔥🔥og

Ideally "Breaking Bad", "The Wire" & "The Sopranos" shouldn't even be compared- cos all 3 are so great, but in different ways, that it's mostly pointless to do so. All 3 should be watched by anyone into TV shows, but which one ends up to be a person's favorite will mostly come down to personal preferences. 'The Wire' was the most realistic, had the most NUMBER of top tier characters , and hands down the best writing of the three. Heck, it's 3rd & 4th seasons are some of the greatest works of storytelling in any media that I've ever experienced. It also had the most important & ambitious themes, some of which have changed the way I look at the world- especially Govt & private institutions- forever. But it starts a bit slow, and its last season- though still good- was its most flawed. 'The Sopranos' had the best dynamics between its many core characters, but more importantly it was the show that STARTED the golden age of television- especially in terms of high quality drama shows with complex characters, incredible performances, weighty writing, mature themes, and let's not forget: antiheroes (Tony Soprano walked so that Walter White could fly). Unfortunately its 5th season was a bit of a slump, though it thankfully recovered and ended strongly in Season 6. 'Breaking Bad' had 2 of the greatest characters in TV history in terms of their depth, development & performances, AND the best final season of the 3. It's also the fastest paced (comparitively) & the most entertaining/crowd-pleasing of the bunch. But AFTER watching The Wire or The Sopranos if one were to watch Breaking Bad, you notice how though it's clearly good art & great fun to watch, it doesn't really have anything deep, or groundbreaking, or even important to say. But this isn't necessarily a FLAW: cos at the end of the day, all 3 are TV shows & not documentaries, and so don't necessarily HAVE to be anything more than great entertainment or art (and this is where some may disagree & the subjectiveness I mentioned in the beginning comes in). With that in mind, Breaking Bad's only REAL flaw is probably that so many of its peripheral characters are weakly written compared to the ones in The Wire or The Sopranos. Tl;dr: For my fellow Malayalis out there- Breaking Bad is Drishyam (new gen mass + class), The Wire is Vaanaprastham (pure class) & The Sopranos is Devasuram (classic mass + class).

The cast was extraordinary in the show.

Heard lot about this show but i am currently on naruto marathon. Definitely will watch this for sure❤️ expecting a collab with svk for long time!

I've watched the first few mins of first episode umpteen times yet I've not watched it fully before today. Today I just completed the first episode. Going to watch the series fully, as it is long overdue and many of my friends also suggested it. This is exactly how it panned out for breaking bad too and boy I'm glad I did that. Hopefully I'm in for surprise 2/2!

I honestly gave up at s2 and its been an year since i gave up, now im gonna continue bcz of u❤️❤️

Just finished season 1 and it's such a banger, it's pretty much perfect with the only flaw if you call it a flaw is it being a little slow near the start but even then every episode slapped hard. In terms of writing it's top 3 along with Dark and BB and is currently my 5th favorite show as of right now

The wire so so good, I loved more than any other show, last season was not up to the mark cuz of Ed Burn's unavailability and also fact that the other 4 seasons were so so good. Especially season 1 is the best 🖤🔥

that "hit the bell icon" - pudichitanya paya... endrum thalaivarism

anyone who needs season 3 to appreciate the wire for what it is, ... well can‘t say that here. Just my condolences on the many deceased braincells.

gonna watch it trusting you. btw i am also reading the Postoffice book u suggested. It is pretty awesome. Love from Denmark.

Thanks for the suggestion.. Started today!

What are the odds! I just started watching the show this weekend which was long overdue that I've been hearing from all around the it's the best show ever!!!

my favourite characters is omar little, jimmy mcnulty and dangelo barksdale

not related to this video. But a question, When is Fully filmy mindvoice coming as a Audio podcast. It would be easier for me to game if it is a audio podcast, because chrome takes up a lot of ram.

Replying to the title - Yes

The Wire is the greatest. It is not a show. It is a social document.

I tried to watch the show a few times but quit watching it after like 2 or 3 episodes mainly due to the slow pace

Breaking Bad, mindhunter........ So on.....

Thumbnail: Breaking bad &Got:are we joke to you

My fav is lester freeman and stringer bell

Pls make a video on the saparons

Omar don't scare👑

Can you pls tell me one show/movie/ or anything for that matter that changes my storytelling skill to next level, or at least will change the angle I view of storytelling...

I am currently at season 2 e5 and it is a very hard watch, whenever I feel like I cannot continue I watch this video to keep me motivated.

Without sopronas no breaking bad

113 movies + 8 tv shows bro..😅

Game of thrones has a separate fan base bro🔥

The Sopranos pls

Watch sopranos, you will change your opinion.

Go and check out marmadasam one of best show

prison break is most underrated😢 it deserves more

One of the best ways I've ever heard this show described is as a show that doesn't demand your attention but requires it. And you are amply rewarded if you put that effort in.

I'm from Baltimore and I'm always in awe when I see other cultures love this show as much as I do. It's so visceral. It's not a show with a lot of unnecessary stuff. It does requires your patience and time. It can't be rushed. The city itself is a character, and is so real.

Been a fan of Breaking Bad for years. I, still am. Now The Wire joined my list.

If you were finding it hard to keep up in the early seasons, try a re-watch now that you know what to expect. With a little foreknowledge of how layered and detailed the story is and the effort it takes to keep up, it makes season 1&2 shine the way they're supposed to

It is extremely slow. But it does rewards you if you wait. What a show!

My favourites are 1 Game of thrones (still love it ) ( if game of thrones season8 wasn't bad . Then got would be The Goat 2 Peaky blinders /wire 3 sopranos /breaking bad The goat are(i think)wire sopranos got breaking bad

If tv shows is art then HBO is Picasso of it. GOT, Sopranos, Wire, True Detective (only season 1), six feet under

Watched it. Man, it redefined my viewing experience and now I can't get hold of which one to watch anymore. I don't want to watch any other random series but watch only selective ones that hold good standard as this!!! To say the least, it actually ruined TV shows for me, in a good way. Also, watch it to know the hype. It took absolute patience sometimes. But it just showed how spoiled our society and system is and how it is very difficult to come out of it. You can only play along and can't do anything about it🤷🏻 No drama, only reality, in your face, shocking reality.

Breaking Bad is my all-time favourite and because of that my inner fear stops me from seeing this

I finished it recently, great show, its difficult in the begining but then you are used to the world of The Wire, it's just brillant. My top 4 : Breaking Bad, Sopranos, GOT, The Wire

"everything is connected " I think that's too dark to say In addition blindly trusting ur suggestion

I almost dropped this show many times until I complete. Yet I watched fully. That feel ❤️

The wire is a well written tv show ! It covers almost every complexity of humans in their day to day life along with the portrayal of social problems in various institutions be it the education system,drug trafficking,prostitution,bureaucracy,politics,economics,street communities,police departments and press media. The best thing about the show is that it doesn’t have a specific main character instead it has so many that you’ll eventually forget at one point on which to consider a favourite one. Each character has the shades of grey just like anime. The wire is slow paced and takes time unfolding the script therefore it requires patience from the audience so if you are into fast paced shows like money heist,breaking bad etc. then you have to maybe consider watching the show without any expectation of cliffhangers.Last but not the least, i love the show because it is too real and that is why most people stop watching it however, i promise if you just watch it till the end with patience it’ll be worth it and still if it doesn’t even after the show ends then maybe it’s not your cup of tea.

i was always in a dilemma whether to see this series or not whether it would be slow or not , but now i am damn clear in fact i already started downloading it and i am gonna sit through the whole series 👍👍

Raunaq please watch 'The Good Place' on Netflix. Loved the series. Fun and lighthearted. I can guarantee you will be totally moved by it

Wire is definitely not for lazy watching. The details are amazing and require constant attention

I don’t usually subscribe to channels, not because of disrespect, but I don’t really want to spam myself with content which I might not be content with.. but when I see someone talking in front of a SuperDeluxe poster, I know the person shares something common with me..

I watched this show after you mentioned it on one of your previous videos. Didn't realise that I'd love this show so much! Thanks to Raunaq that I didn't miss this!❣️

This show has been my favorite show of all time for at least the last twelve years.

Nah by mid season 1 you're hooked. Not having to wait till season 3 to enjoy it. False advertising.

I'm the kind of person who watch RU-vid videos at 1.25x speed. You already suggested this show man, but this time I'm gonna watch this definitely.

I came to know about 'The Wire' from your FF Mindvoice Podcast🔥 #fromabigffmindvoicefan.

I liked all the seasons. I definitely recommend rewatching again if you thought it was only good from season 3.

Personal rankings of The Wire seasons : 1.Season 4 2.Season 3 3.Season 1 4.Season 2 5.Season 5

I paused at 2:03. I am excited. I will watch the remaining after I complete watching the show. I am damn excited. Thank you. Stay safe.

I wonder why this channel has less subscribers & less views. Gonna hit the share button to multiple social networks. Bang Bang Bang!!!!!!

There's an anime called durarara which is also very very similiar to the wire, both are great shows!

Peaky blinders is the best show ever made

I watched the first season. And binge watched the balance in 5 days.

Omar coming......Omar ....Omar😎🔥🔥bro u deserve more views. After watching "The wire",BB is second on my list!!!

Omar little was the most badass character of the show period and Idris Elba was just phenomenal

Well you're goddamn right The wire is a fucking great show 😍❤

Just started watching the first episode and turned it off after 30 min because it was so boring. Is it just the beginning? Does the show start slow?

We need top 5 recommendations on TV shows and movies from the lockdown list

This is the motivation I need to continue to watch that show. I gave up after 1.5 seasons and now it's time to start that again. Thanks.

My frnd always suggests me good shows to watch.. he was the one who suggested.. peaky blinders, breaking bad from which I developed an intrest to watch better call Saul..now I'm watching the sopranos.. and he has suggested me to watch the wire and game of thrones.. and here ronaq emphasis the fact to watch the wire.. so.... Yeah it's next..thank you ronaq

Yo bey, if you come at the king you best not miss! 🖤

Omar character is 🔥. Can compare with django

Write the rational numbers for which the multiplicative inverse is same as the number itself.

Back in 2017 I guess you told about this show in an episode of mind voice . I've been trying to watch that since then. I finally downloaded it and I'm going to start it today. Hope this is going to be my all time favourite TV show.

The Americans on another level

I completed the wire today finally 😀. I am so happy . Aye yo man lil omar is waiting on next corner 😅😅

My personal favourite now is Succession. Yet to watch wire. Will see it soon.

Tamil review nu vantha nee ennaya English le pesitu irruka!!!!!!!!

Thanks dude i have tried pilot 2 time but not able to follow but now i thinking to watch it again 😃

Exactly my reaction when I reached season 3

The wire took away the got itch after that shit finale and I'm grateful for that

Bro please do watch prison break 1st 3 seasons are next to perfect but next 2 are ok this show is underrated nobody talks about this!!!

Game of thrones 🔥🔥

GOT, DARK, 13 REASONS WHY - 1st SEASON ALONE, THE MINDHUNTERS are the greatest of shows, Going by my taste!

Hey raunaq, I started watching the wire after seeing this video, it took 2.5 weeks to finish all 5 season , it really tested my patience, how ever when I started watching this I was really getting into characters and in the end I realised it's all because of the whole SYSTEM... Really a must watch series! Thanks for the suggestion! Pls do another video like this 👍🏼

Man I just started watching it and it's exhausting but damn good..

Lmao, Breaking bad didn't have a single bad episode. Even Fly episode was good when you watch carefully.

Just food for thought for raunie and other film freaks. Heard Rakita Rakita. "Ena thokadika oruthan matum varuvane. Ada avanum inga nan thane " was such a mass line. But what if it was hinting to a prestige twin kinda situation, where another Dhanush comes out at the climax, to take his throne from the original Dhanush. Like the Fight club exposition🤔. Would be quite the ' Thandiram ' right?!

S1 E12 Cleaning up.. Right now

Sure bro I will watch 🔥 thanks for the suggestion idk wats the wire has but the way u speak about it make me to watch it bro Keep on doing more good content 🔥❤️

Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I'm too started watching this series and I was like why imdb is 9.3, but I guess season 3 will bring something as you mentioned keep patience...

Amazing edit as always 👍

1:08 pirates of tv shows🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just 11 tv shows ..... Noob. It's like he has a life or something ..... 🥲

Dude of breaking bad is slow then what will you call The Wire ???

Mani Ratnam best in story telling ( whereas his stories would be with simple concepts ) example - Alaipayuthe ! ( it had nothing in it , but kept us connected throughout the movie 🍿 guessing what would have happened to Shalini )
