I didn't know there was folks wanting Jesse to die. In the end, he had his swan song. I would of preferred him and Walt killing each other at the end, if anything.

I've actually thought about it a lot and there is so much I did like about Todd's character. It's just that every time I think he's a good guy, I then counter with the fact that he killed that kid in the desert with no hesitation and Andrea on her front porch with poor Brock there in the house. Hard things to get past.
Just finished watching the series for the second time and loved it just as much as the first time thru. Doubt I'll watch it A again tho.

I have like 3 episodes left. I get why people call this the greatest shiw of all time so far, but it's not for me. Don't get me wrong it's a great show.

What show would you say is better?
Because I've watched everything and nothing compares.

That's the only one that I can see but The Wire doesn't hold a candle to Breaking Bad from a cinematography standpoint which is important to me.
Writing wise absolutely they both stand alone.
I would say the acting was better on Breaking Bad as well.

100% agree. The Wire was a great show, but man the way Breaking Bad was filmed was masterful. The Albuquerque views definitely helped, but The Wire was pretty one note as far as direction goes. They weren't really too interested in the cinematography. I think Breaking Bad is one of the first shows that really put that much effort into the visuals in sort of a movie like way. Kind of reminds me of Mr. Robot in how artsy and well directed the show is.

i dont think the wire was trying to make the city look glamorous or beautiful
i dont think the tone of the wire was made to incorporate scenic views either
the reason imo breaking bad was so "pretty" was to underscore how walt was operating with such evil in such a tranquil atmosphere

Fair points. They definitely weren't looking to make the most cinematic show, but the show still leaves me wanting something. That's just me personally though, because the direction is probably the main reason (along with writing of course) I watch a show.
For me it's probably the one thing that has the biggest impact on tone and setting. Biggest example of this I remember is the end of Crawl Space when Walt...
...realizes the money that he needed to skip town was gone.
That shot really was a perfect depiction of Walt's situation both figuratively and literally. That's just one example. They seemed to do little things like this almost every episode where the shot informs the situation.
It's not a fair comparison, though. Two different times in television and both shows have a completely different style. Plus I need to watch The Wire again as an adult.

His laughter in the background as she goes to pick up the phone is epic.
