Yea I can def agree with that ...although the Wire started to get too convuluted by the end of the show. The Newspaper angle was completely unnecessary

Sopranos GOT and the Wire are all GOAT status to me imo

In a September 28, 1980, article in the Post, titled "Jimmy's World", Cooke wrote a profile of the life of an 8-year-old heroin addict. She described the "needle marks freckling the baby-smooth skin of his thin, brown arms." The story engendered much sympathy among readers, including Marion Barry, then mayor of Washington, D.C. He and other city officials organized an all-out police search for the boy, which was unsuccessful and led to claims that the story was fraudulent. Barry, responding to public pressure, lied and claimed that Jimmy was known to the city and receiving treatment; Jimmy was announced dead shortly after.
Although some within the Post doubted the story's veracity, the Post defended it and assistant managing editor Bob Woodward submitted the story for the Pulitzer Prize. Cooke was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing on April 13, 1981.
Man the Sopranos was so much more than the mafia and people getting clipped. Everything about it was great. Tony might be my favorite television character ever. Christopher is up there too.Let me preface this by saying i didn't fully watch the sopranos till later but i feel like they didnt really go into the Mafia lifestyle like we haven't seen before. (might have been fresh at original air time)
It was pretty one dimensional to me in how it revolved around Tony and the people close to him while the Wire went all over and had multiple stories flowing with their own arcs. This is only my opinion and you dont have to agree but the wire story board would look like Chinese to one from the Sopranos.
When they're at the Bada Bing retelling the "Pine Barren" story for the guys and it gets heated real quickThe Christopher/Paulie love hate dynamic was incredibly underrated.
Which city is that at?Shhhiiiiiiieeeeeettt....
San Francisco.
Which city is that at?
That worked perfectly into the media angle though, creating a story.only thing I don't like about 5 is the homeless serial killer angle
the newsroom stuff and all the character endings made up for that wack premise
still one of the worst seasons tho
Sobatka !!!
It was such a weird cameo in that commercial. He wasn't even the driver.
I did realize he currently doesn't have a steady job.
Wait that was Ziggy!?
I'll have to watch that again. Now that's an even weirder nod to The Wire. Making the Sobotka's bank robbers now
