Reply to comment by Whellyer1 in The Wire or The Sopranos? by Whellyer1

That will sort itself out, in a way it’s about factions as much as individual characters. So there is the street cops and the street dealers and then the cop bosses and the crime bosses

I think it would be more about which you’re able to appreciate atm. The wire has its on pace compared to a lot of other cop shows especially, more of a slow burn that has a lot of amazing scenes that don’t all jump the story line forward.

The sopranos i thing has aged a little more just because of how revolutionary it was but we’ve seen a lot of what it inspired on other shows since.

I think the wire is better but they are both amazing dives into a certain culture and people. If you had to pick only one to watch I’d say the wire is better but the sopranos is more entertaining in the story telling. Ones about a man and two families he’s apart of and one is about a community and the people within the system

I think what you’re experiencing is the prosthetics are good enough these days, that it’s practical to have them for dicks.

Sex education and Pam and tommy was the other big one, use prosthetics rather than actor nudity.

Shows like game of thrones is all really and kinda apart of the shows culture for male and female actors.

That’s a factor if there isn’t much of another explanation. I don’t think the rules or laws around it have changed. Nudity use to be way more common than it is now.
