The Sopranos vs The Wire 08:23 - Oct 17 with 5056 views | ThisIsMyUsername | I've got a week or two off between leaving one job and starting another, and I thought I'd enjoy a new series. I must be one of the few people who's not seen either of these. Which should I pick? Voting closes at 5pm. | |

The Sopranos vs The Wire on 08:37 - Oct 17 with 2743 views | ElephantintheRoom | The sopranos is far superior. The Wire needs subtitles. Better still get a bike and get outside | |

Thanks for the recommendation. I do get outside plenty but I'll bear it in mind. | |

Yes. I also tried Better Call Saul ages ago but couldn't get into it (although I think I only watched a couple of episodes from memory). | |

Second best, just behind The Sopranos though they both suffer from not enough Olive in them. You might need more than a couple of weeks for The Sopranos though. | |

I watched the first episode of the wire and couldn't understand a bloody thing. I also then decided to use subtitles but haven't got round to it, I think I'm destined not to ever see it. | |

I'm not suggesting it's better. It's good though and a good time to watch series one. | |

When I was a wealthy man I thought I could semi retire and in-between going to the pub I watched every Frasier episode back to back (263 of them). It was quite an enjoyable time. | |

The Sopranos vs The Wire on 09:43 - Oct 17 with 2525 views | Exiled2Surrey | The Wire is absolutely brilliant - don’t disagree that it is challenging to understand what is said on occasions, and Mrs E2S cannot put up with the profanity, but I watched it on a series of international flights and thought it was amazing I don’t know if it is better than the Sopranos because I haven’t watched that - yet… | | | |
The Sopranos vs The Wire on 09:52 - Oct 17 with 2514 views | Mookamoo | The Wire was amazing when if first came out. It has dated though. If you watch it now it is like watching a period drama. Sopranos still stands up today. | | | |

The Sopranos vs The Wire on 10:08 - Oct 17 with 2459 views | TheMoralMajority | You cannot go wrong with either. They are 2 of the best TV shows ever produced... if not THE 2 best TV shows ever produced. If I were forced to rank them, I would put The Sopranos at No. 1. Whilst the Wire hits higher heights than the Sopranos (arguable, this is my opinion), it never has a duff Season. The final season of the Wire can easily be skipped. It is a caricature of its former self with all the gritty realism jettisoned for a frankly absurd plotline. | |

I was about to suggest that a series where the 1970s crew of 'On The Buses' are directed by Blakey into The Hood for a new bus route would be good but I think we know how that would end up regarding language that is no longer acceptable and the subsequent slaughter... | |

....and drug use would be fine, but Butler saying "Phwoar, looks at the pins on her" would lead to outrage. | |

In what way is it dated? Good writing and good characters will always make for a good story. | |

The Sopranos vs The Wire on 11:11 - Oct 17 with 2356 views | GlasgowBlue | Both great shows but the Sopranos is in another level. So my vote goes to the Sopranos. | |

I’d also throw in Boardwalk Empire. | |

The Sopranos vs The Wire on 11:13 - Oct 17 with 2353 views | jeera | Both excellent in their own right. Best not to compare and just watch one and save the other for another time. | |

I did a rerun of that recently. For the first week following that it was hard to not refer to everyone I met as 'bitch'. | |

So some reason I never actually watched the last 4-5 episodes of Breaking Bad. | |
