Agree SoA sucks. Even as a pure plot driven show, still sucks imo.

He's not the creator but he's credited with writing 3 episodes of the wire.

I thought it was good through season 2. Somewhere in season 3, it went to shit.

The Corner is great. If you haven't seen Treme, check it out. It's another David Simon creation.

The Wire is likely my favorite series with Breaking Bad close behind.
I do not understand what people see in SoA. Show is weak in every way.
True Detective has come pretty highly recommended. Gonna start that soon.

Season Five of The Wire is worth skipping.
SofA does suck balls.
Breaking Bad and Justified FTW.

Simon gets almost all the credit but on IMDB, Lehane is credited with writing 3 episodes of the wire. That's all I'm saying bro. It's not a slam on anyone, just pointing out fact.

That show still had a writing room, though I am sure everything went through simon and burns at the end.
Either way, I was just tryin to fluff Lehane more than take away from those guys. I love Lehane's books.

all good. matthew weiner wrote some of the sopranos' best episodes but I still consider it david chase's creation, that sort of thing
