I thought the exact same thing. I tried the wire for a few seasons. There's no comparison to the meticulous character development, casting, dialog, cinematography of Breaking Bad. It was a fully realized show in its entirety.
'The Wire' scene where 'Boodie' and 'Poot' kill their childhood friend in his house was the saddest such scene I know. He walks around, complaining about how the younger kids he takes care of left the place in a mess. So touching. He begs for his life, pissing his pants, while his friends demand he 'die like a man'. Encapsulates the whole circle of death and despair people from similar background are born into.

I agree, that scene with Adriana's end, was emotionally brutal. (And Syl always seems like a reasonable kind of guy until suddenly he isn't.) The incident with Dr. Melfi in the stairwell also - No stylistic flair at all, which is what made the scene so gritty and realistic.
Syl was the coolest guy but for some reason Tony always wanted him to deal with the rats whether it was jimmy or pus or ade he was always involved in the hits ot deal with problematic people like Richie
The thing that got me fully freaked out in the corn field scene was that Nicky was narrating in the off as he got whacked with the bat. That felt 4th wall breaking without it actually doing so. pure genius
The model of this show is incredible. I cant believe that the same writers havent tackled another series, with the same approach. Pick a town in America. This show was perfect. You are invested in so many characters. Top 3 best ever for me.

It was the first scene I tought of when I saw Snoop in the thumbnail. Her death is amazing too, really the only part when she let's her guard down and show some more feminine traits by asking how she looks.
Yes it was. I first saw that scene when i was 11. My older cousins was watching it and i joined in not knowing what kind of movie it was. I had nightmares and surreal feelings for weeks. Lol.
@@likearollingstone007 likely didn't happen that way, though. However, there's enough killing in the mafia that it's probably true of some story somewhere. 😬
@@bazil83 Actually, that was considered what accurately happened to Nicky’s real life inspiration Tony Spilotro. He and his brother Michael disappeared on 6/14/86. On 6/22/86 their bodies were found, one on top of the other, stripped down to their underwear, buried in a cornfield in the Willow Slough preserve near Enos, Indiana. Their autopsies on 6/24/87 identified the cause of deaths as blunt force trauma, and concluded they’d been dead since the date they disappeared, 6/14/86.
Casino is the most honest adaptation from book to movie. Some names were changed, Ace Rothstein was Lefty Rosenthal and Nicky Santoro was Tony"the ant"Spilotro., and the Spilotro brothers really were discovered by a farmer who noticed fresh dirt while plowing his cornfield.
i remember being like 5 years old and accidentally walking in on the Billy Batts scene while my dad was watching Goodfellas. You would think that would prepare me for the cornfield scene i would catch a few years later on the USA Network of all places, while i was waiting for WWF Sunday Night Heat to come on. Now that i'm older both movies are among my favorites, but that "cornfield scene" is still a tough watch.
That scene in Casino is brutal, and being mentioned here, It reminded me of one of the strangest coincidences that ever happened to me. Back in the mid noughties, when i still occasionally smoked weed, i was sat watching tv at my mates house, after smoking a couple of joints, and i was starting to feel a bit scatty. The program we were watching, whatever it was, was getting boring, so my mate said he'd flip through to see what else was on. I then had this random thought, that i didn't care what it was, so long as it wasn't something nasty, like that scene in Casino, as my head wasn't in the right space to deal with something like that. Then fuck me, what's on one of the channels he turns to, but fucking Casino, just at the beginning of that scene, where they're driving through the cornfield! Seriously, what are the chances of that happening, but as you can imagine it fucked my already dodgy head up completely!
@@bluexpressov2 The Wire buckled to Baltimore politician threats, this is a charge WIRE fans deny even though its 100% true.

Joe Pesci: "Maybe, in all fairness, I should explain to you, exactly what it is I do. For example, tomorrow morning, I'll wake up nice and early and take a walk over to the bank to see ya. And if you don't have my money for me..."
The best part is when he says “and after you’re coming out of your coma and I’m getting out of jail I’ll break your fuckin head again, cause I’m stupid” lmao not verbatim but you know
American History X-- teeth on the curb.. I still remember that one. Fight Club -- "I wanted to destroy something beautiful" -- with blond guys face Sleepers --- down in the basement-- gave me nightmares as a kid.
amityville horror -- little girl talks about her friend outside the window, dad sees a pair of orange eyes that blink and disappear. the ONLY scene that ever freaked me out as a kid.
@@nameless.greyceo I guess it depends what country you're in or if you can use a VPN. It is up to season 4 at the moment. In Australia it can be watched on SBS but not sure about other countries. It used to be on Netflix here but they removed it. Definitely worth finding if you're into the organised crime/mafia genre.
I felt the same way about Adrianna's death. To this day I have never seen media so realistically portray someone's pure terror and desperation as they are about to be murdered. It is the one and only scene in TV/movies that made me feel genuinely disturbed.
The amazing thing about that Sopranos scene is Adriana DIDN'T put it together at all until he stopped the car in the woods.The whole time he was driving she was feeling guilty that she caused Christopher to try to kill himself. Tony's storyline to her was PERFECT. And the camera angle showing her crawling as Silvio walks behind her with his gun and that look of disgust at her being a "rat" was perfect. You guys are wrong thinking she knew,she never suspected a thing until he stopped the car and got out that's why it was so good.
Silvio kept talking to her the whole time "He's gonna be ok, don';t worry....." to keep her mind on Christopher, instead of giving her a chance to figure out what's really going on.
Bill was already my favorite comedian but now that I know he loves The Wire so much I like him even more now. The Wire is the best show in history. Imo of course.
The Wire really is one the greatest shows. When I’m talking to someone at like a bar or party and they don’t mention that in top shows, then I know their list doesn’t count.
Truth can be stranger than fiction, when the small town cops found the brothers, the morgue wanted Chicago to pay the transport fees to send them back, when Chicago refused, the small town printed up t-shirts that said, Spilotro brothers fertilizer company and sold them to pay for the transport back to Chicago. True story!
The Wire is the goat because it was the most realistic fiction to ever appear on the screen. And to pull that off with that kind of arc for 5 seasons is unbelievable. Maybe in hindsight the 5th season is a little daffy with Mcnulty's serial killer but what's interesting about that season is it actually shows the end of times for print media as digital takes over and how salaciousness and "clickbait" are the new order of the day. They fucking nailed that out of the park.
The Wire is easily one of the greatest things ever written. For pretty much any other story the writers would have bit off way more than they could chew. In the first couple episodes it seems like you're gonna get a pretty standard police procedure/court drama. By the end, you've gotten a thorough look at basically every major institution of the city on both sides of the law, from the perspectives of the people living in them. There are points where you hate the "good" guys, love the "bad" guys. Characters you thought were just side plots and junkies turn out to have just as much depth and bring you to tears (I'm looking at you, Bubbles.) It might be fictional (barely) but it's an examination of very large problems by putting you in the rooms of the people dealing with them. It's like a documentary with soul. I came away realizing just how complex these issues really are from the top down. I've never been to Baltimore, but by the end I felt like I'd been in the city for years.
So many people haven't seen this show. I've never met anyone that didn't love it after watching a season. I just saw Paid in Full. Man, that was such a good movie. I thought it was going to be corny as fuck. But it was amazing.
I must be a monster cause the cornfield scene of Casino never fails to get a laugh out of me. For one it looks like a gang of old guys beating some younger guy to death with bats but most importantly they had that shit coming. Maybe not Frankie but Nickie definitely.
And you're not a monster. You're just only seeing it as a movie,which it is. But how realistic its done, and the pleading, it can bother some who've seen brutal violence in real life . its not about who deserves what
@@tobe1207 Joe Pesci's characters usually a psycho who would laugh at someone else pleading for their life and resorts to violence at the drop of a hat. Seeing him in the same situation feels cathartic.
Adrianna knew the whole time what was happening. She just held out hope that she was wrong, that maybe she actually was going to the hospital, until she saw the endlessly tree filled landscape and she knew 100%.
Pesci in casino was such a massive dbag and in the game so I really don't feel that bad for him at the end. Adrianna on the other hand just married the wrong person. Someone who physically abused and mistreated her and even in the end when she could have took a deal and sold him out she tried to bring him with her and he got her wacked. You should feel way worse for her.
Rumour is theres a cut of Casino where the cornfield scene is way more graphic, which explains how Nicky ends up with his face covered in blood between the cuts.
Wow it's interesting you said Casino bc I thought that but I didn't realize its that universal lmao. That is the ONLY SCENE where every time my dad cuts it off and basically ends the movie there lmao yet he'll watch the end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood without blinking a MILLION times. It came on a week ago and I brought up how it's weird that he can sit through all these other gory scenes but can't sit through the end of Casino. But I kinda feel the same way and I dont know why lmao
Leatherface when he grabbed that guy and slammed the sliding freezer door closed in #1, the cornfield, baseball speech in Untouchables, shower scene Scarface, True Romance eggplant scene, hotel scene w Alabama and Gandolfini, all the scenes w Drexel, King Of N.Y I'm at the Plaza Hotel I have work for you, briefcase full of tampons, where's my chicken black? Mississippi Burning the coffee cup, Hateful 8 too many to mention, Harsh Times beer bottle while selling the 9mm, Training Day "you ever have your shit pushed in?" and "you fucked up holmes that was my little cousin, she's a civilian". There's so many solid movies and shows out there you could list them for a yr easily.
The confirmed scene reminded of shit that old heads used to do in my hood ( south Jamaica queens ) shoot dope in people tongues . Locking people in rooms with rats . One of my favorite scenes in cinema .
The scene in The Sopranos with Melfi in the garage... so fucked up. That one still burns an image into my mind. So many good scenes in The Wire too. The way the did Dangelo in season 2, on some Game of Thrones shit... Great shows
My best friend's roommate at Indiana University in the 80s was the Spilatro's brothers (Pesci's character) nephew. Supposedly the only honest Spilatro brother out of 7 was a dentist in Chicago and that kid is now a middle-aged dentist in Chicago as well. They pulled him out of IU right after his 2 uncles bodies were found in northern Indiana. Adriana's murder was basically the end of the Sopranos for me. The show is set up for you to root for Tony as a anti-hero, but they were just too cold and ruthless to care about. I bailed out not long after
I always appreciated the corn field scene, because it was the perfect counterpoint to the scene where Nicky stabs some guy in the neck with a pen. He went from mocking how the guy had acted like a d-bag, and now that he'd been sneak attacked he was crying like a little girl... and then after years of acting like a d-bag, he himself got sneak attacked, and ended up crying like a little girl too... demonstrating that all of these people, no matter how tough they appear to be, will fold when the pressure's on. Ironically, Ace, the only guy who wasn't a member of the Mafia because his ethnicity prevented it, came out on top because despite his mistakes, he never crossed any unforgiveable lines and remained useful for the outfit. His ending IS a bit bittersweet, but I'd take semi-retirement in a warm, sunny place than under some cornfield.
I agree with Virzi. The scene in Casino haunts me. I would have died of a heart attack if I would’ve had to watch them do that to my brother and not been able to physically retaliate. It would’ve been impossible to bury me alive. My heart would’ve probably given out first.
I am a few episodes away from finishing The Wire for the first time, and in my (to you irrelevant) opinion, The Wire's the best TV show since the 1990s. I've seen all the other top contenders, and I feel that The Wire is much higher up there.
The Wire is SOOOO fuking good. Anyone who haven't watched it yet do it, do it right now. People say "I wish I can see it for the first time" fuk no, everytime I reawatch it I get more details, more juice out of it. It is a masterpiece. Just as Sopranos.
The asbestos episode that Virzi is talking about being uneventful is literally the one where Christopher dies 😂
That's exactly what I was thinking too. As soon as I saw him in the cleaver hat lol
Is it the one where he dies or is it LITERALLY the one where he dies??

Deep down she knew: Syl was driving.
Syl aint a taxi service, he's the guy you count on for the hard jobs.
Pesci in casino was such a massive dbag and in the game so I really don't feel that bad for him at the end. Adrianna on the other hand just married the wrong person. Someone who physically abused and mistreated her and even in the end when she could have took a deal and sold him out she tried to bring him with her and he got her wacked. You should feel way worse for her.
I was kind of amazed when I read what the original way the show was supposed to be and what it turned out to be.

Rumour is theres a cut of Casino where the cornfield scene is way more graphic, which explains how Nicky ends up with his face covered in blood between the cuts.
I’ve never watched the full series but I’ve watched a million clips on RUclips. Spoiled most of it already lol.
Wow it's interesting you said Casino bc I thought that but I didn't realize its that universal lmao. That is the ONLY SCENE where every time my dad cuts it off and basically ends the movie there lmao yet he'll watch the end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood without blinking a MILLION times. It came on a week ago and I brought up how it's weird that he can sit through all these other gory scenes but can't sit through the end of Casino. But I kinda feel the same way and I dont know why lmao
Wu tang wu tang wu tang!!
Leatherface when he grabbed that guy and slammed the sliding freezer door closed in #1, the cornfield, baseball speech in Untouchables, shower scene Scarface, True Romance eggplant scene, hotel scene w Alabama and Gandolfini, all the scenes w Drexel, King Of N.Y I'm at the Plaza Hotel I have work for you, briefcase full of tampons, where's my chicken black? Mississippi Burning the coffee cup, Hateful 8 too many to mention, Harsh Times beer bottle while selling the 9mm, Training Day "you ever have your shit pushed in?" and "you fucked up holmes that was my little cousin, she's a civilian". There's so many solid movies and shows out there you could list them for a yr easily.
The confirmed scene reminded of shit that old heads used to do in my hood ( south Jamaica queens ) shoot dope in people tongues . Locking people in rooms with rats . One of my favorite scenes in cinema .
Crazy to hear Ralph here say he liked The Wire more than the Sopranos
Lmao...I need Joe P and Bill Burr to meet one day.
"I Have to go back and rewatch that show"
-Everyone I've ever met who has seen The Wire
Infact, I should rewatch that show sometime...
Man I watched that Casino scene while tripping on something for the first time, what a fuckin mistake lol, ruined my whole night
Bill Burr one of the few guys who sort of gets the sopranos;
The scene in The Sopranos with Melfi in the garage... so fucked up. That one still burns an image into my mind. So many good scenes in The Wire too. The way the did Dangelo in season 2, on some Game of Thrones shit... Great shows
That episode with the asbestos was literally the episode Christopher died.
What’s figuratively the episode he died in?
I never got over the Adriana scene either.
The Public Enemy (1931) James Cagney. Two memorable scenes and a grapefruit
I want to like The Wire. I keep coming back to it trying to get into it but can’t get there
Just watched the whole series a couple month ago also the bridge and justified good shit also boardwalk empire
Paid in Full had the most disturbing messed up thing to ever happen
Nothing like avoiding suspicion by raising more
Man, the wire season 4 is the best season of any season ever made don't give a fuck
Dexter season 4 is pretty tough too.
Yesssir, fuck yea
for me - the first time I saw the chainsaw scene in "Scarface" - wow .
*Was on Breaking Bad, the best show of all time according to any metric in showbizz*
"The Wire is the best show of all time"
What a guy
My best friend's roommate at Indiana University in the 80s was the Spilatro's brothers (Pesci's character) nephew. Supposedly the only honest Spilatro brother out of 7 was a dentist in Chicago and that kid is now a middle-aged dentist in Chicago as well. They pulled him out of IU right after his 2 uncles bodies were found in northern Indiana.
Adriana's murder was basically the end of the Sopranos for me. The show is set up for you to root for Tony as a anti-hero, but they were just too cold and ruthless to care about. I bailed out not long after
The cornfield scene is accurate to how spilatro was killed. Life invented that more than schorsese
The thing is in real life they used their boots and fists only no bats at all even more brutal than the fiction.
You can talk about what ever you want just say “spoiler alert”
"We had it all and then we fucked it all up" - Human Nature
I always appreciated the corn field scene, because it was the perfect counterpoint to the scene where Nicky stabs some guy in the neck with a pen. He went from mocking how the guy had acted like a d-bag, and now that he'd been sneak attacked he was crying like a little girl... and then after years of acting like a d-bag, he himself got sneak attacked, and ended up crying like a little girl too... demonstrating that all of these people, no matter how tough they appear to be, will fold when the pressure's on.
Ironically, Ace, the only guy who wasn't a member of the Mafia because his ethnicity prevented it, came out on top because despite his mistakes, he never crossed any unforgiveable lines and remained useful for the outfit. His ending IS a bit bittersweet, but I'd take semi-retirement in a warm, sunny place than under some cornfield.
Kinda like “Willard” in the raid scene from “Django”
Pesci and Frank Vincent fuck each other up in every movie they are both in.
Ralph killing Tracey was the hardest thing to watch in the Sopranos
The Wire is the best show ever!
If ever you want a true observation of society the Wire is the one. Not at first but by season 3 you see a bigger perspective
The Corner was better imo
The main issue with tv is the story plays on your need to watch the next episode and then it just ends like they never have an ending or a point
I agree with Virzi. The scene in Casino haunts me.
I would have died of a heart attack if I would’ve had to watch them do that to my brother and not been able to physically retaliate. It would’ve been impossible to bury me alive. My heart would’ve probably given out first.
I am a few episodes away from finishing The Wire for the first time, and in my (to you irrelevant) opinion, The Wire's the best TV show since the 1990s. I've seen all the other top contenders, and I feel that The Wire is much higher up there.
The Wire is SOOOO fuking good. Anyone who haven't watched it yet do it, do it right now. People say "I wish I can see it for the first time" fuk no, everytime I reawatch it I get more details, more juice out of it. It is a masterpiece. Just as Sopranos.
paul is so right.
That asbestos episode is when tony kills Chris. How could they be bored by that episode?
I juwatched the series; The Wire was top notch
Adriana was the only pure character that was honest and innocent.
So much bullshit, she was a drug addict, materialist and a federal informant
Whats that song at the end?
Taylor Swift "dream boy"
I love these short clips of bill talking about random shit. Another one in the books. Hit that like button people. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏼💯
didnt crissy get wacked in the asbestos episode thoughhhh
Back in 2016, I was on a date with my girlfriend at the time and I couldn’t stop quoting the characters from The Wire lol...
The shield was one of the best ever the cop show that super hero shit
