So what other series do you guys like? [/ QUOTE ] To all fans of The Wire, I recommend Showtime's Brotherhood. While it's not as good as The Wire, it's about the closest thing to it at the moment. Very good writing, and alot of action. It's definitely tiding me over til January. Another really well written and fun show is Showtime's Californication. I didn't think I was going to like it that much, and I'm truly loving it. |

It is the only other series IMO with comparable writing and acting. It has a huge ensemble cast. If you can get past the cursing, which many people can not, the writing/dialogue and acting are on par with The Wire. Season 3> Season 1> Season 2 Al Swearengen is among the top 2-3 Anti-Hero's ever created. Others have mentioned: Dexter Californcation- Best new series I have seen this year Firefly- Best series cancelled prematurely The Shield- Action oriented Police drama. Nowhere near the realism of The Wire but never a dull moment. |

Excellent show, and a sad decision to cancel it. Hopefully the two movies that they promised will sometime be made, but it seems highly unlikely. |

kkf,
definitely deadwood. it starts a little strange because it is so different than how we are used to hearing cowboys talk and act, etc. but it hits its stride and is awesome. "s IMO with comparable writing and acting. It has a huge ensemble cast. If you can get past the cursing, which many people can not, the writing/dialogue and acting are on par with The Wire. Season 3> Season 1> Season 2 Al Swearengen is among the top 2-3 Anti-Hero's ever created." qft. he should have 3 emmys. and i think kkf will dislike californication since it is just a bukowski rip off but done as piss poor as possible. |

Swearengen was a great villian, he's a mediocre anti-hero. Season 1 of Deadwood is fantastic, but it's like
1>>>3>2. They don't do nearly as good of a job as The Wire managing their ensemble, it's pretty much 3 interesting characters and then Jane or the [censored] General or E.B. being terrible and unentertaining for 10 minutes at a time. |

wow i couldnt disagree more.
i cared a ton about stuff revolving around dan, jane, wu, doc, joanie, and wolcott who was just amazing at being [censored] weird. its obv not the wire, i mean nothing is, but i think its a pretty strong #2. |

KKF-
six feet under gets my nod of approval. not every episode/story line is great, but its still a v solid show. oz is retarded. i suppose at one time is was good TV, but now i just LOL at it. nip tuck is very meh, and i dont think you will like it. deadwood is very good also, yet not near the wire. the shield is a good dark show. the first few seasons are great, and even the not so great ones blow typical TV out of the water. |
