"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Excellent series, The Wire"

I don’t think having not done anything as good as the Wire since is a criticism as arguably the Wire is one of the best television series ever created so its hard to top or even match it. Elba has done plenty of good stuff including Luther. West was very good in The Affair and many other things but saying nothing is as good as the Wire is not a slight on their careers. You could say that Damian Lewis has not been in anything as good as Band of Brothers but again that isn’t a criticism as not a lot out there is as good as Band of Brothers. That doesn’t mean what Damian Lewis has done since is a load of rubbish.

"Only saw a bit of Luther Bit melodramatic for me & nowhere near as good as Stringer Bell for I Elba Just my opinion , not expecting Messrs West & Elba to give TWO SHITS Both have had very lucrative careers since"

"Nothing as good as The Wire, fancy that, maybe they will take your critique on board. I thought Luther was brilliant, bordering disturbing, first couple of series anyway."

Will have to watch The Wire again soon Kicked off the careers of Dominic West & Idris Elba but don’t think either have done anything remotely as good since

The Deuce was brilliant but the Me Too movement has all but ruined that kind of drama now. James Franco being implicated just exacerbated it all. Everything is sanitized now. Too scared to offend. I've lost my mojo as a writer lately as I feel so restricted about almost everything.

Funny enough I re-watched The 25th Hour this week and he is in that film.

"My favourite TV series. So immersive, so many great characters and story lines. Even Fuzzy Dunlop was brilliant."

One of the best bits of tv you’ll ever see. The writers that did that also did the deuce. That was really good as well.

"so many great characters, immense creative team. from the writing, casting, all the way to the acting"
