Lame.

I just finished watching the series on HBO Go about a month ago. Great series, but I'm in no hurry to rewatch it again.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Wow, will be very hard to watch. Can't even think about how dated it will appear in our modern harmonic America where everyone respects each other.

 

[eot]

4:3 is fine, I'll never understand why people get so up in arms about aspect ratios. Not this thread specifically I guess but people seem to complain about it a lot with regards to the Wire.

 

[nhlducks35]

You happy now, bitch?

 

[CyReN]

Any idea if it's coming to HBO GO, always wanted to watch it and now that it's in HD it seems like the perfect time.

 

[chuckddd]

OMAR COMIN', YO!

What the fuck did I do?

16:9 looks better

 

[Altazor]

GET ON WITH IT, MOTHERFUCKER!

I need this. NAO.

 

[John Kowalski]

Very lovely, really looking forward to the jump in resolution. Hope they chose to keep the superior 4:3 format.

THE GREATEST TELEVISION SHOW OF ALL TIME.

The following of this show is on another level. A level I have never witnessed. I have seen a few episodes and can see the draw and I hope to be swoon into the GOAT status.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Its cropped for 16:9 on amazon. Its horrible. Hopefully they put this on HBO go

 

[Death Metalist]

Bluray announcement?

This. Will wait for that.

 

[Cygnus]

16:9 looks better

Not if it's cropped.

Now a whole new group of people can see how overrated it is.

woahhh bro. Prepare for some backlash.

Don't care. The show is a 7.5 at best. GAF treats it likes it's an 11

Maybe if we're just talking season 5, but the first 4 seasons are some of the best television ever made.

 

[Akahige]

Alright cool but release it on blu ray yesterday.

 

[hodayathink]

Because 1920x1080 is a 16:9 ratio, not 4:3?

Then the resolution will be 1440x1080. More pixels will make for a better picture, whether or not it's widescreen. Especially if it was shot on film.

the general sentiment that The Wire is one of, if not the greatest show ever made, is absolutely not limited to gaf

And GAF is wrong indeed, it's at least 12.

This is one of those cases where 'opinion' doesn't factor into it at all. It's a simple fact that this one of the very best TV shows ever made. And you're either a person that sees that, or you're not.

Big! Blu-Ray incoming? All I want in life right now is a copy of The Wire in HD that I can replay. That would be amazing.

Yes please.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Don't feed the troll people.

Just because someone doesn't love something doesn't mean they're a troll. Also worth noting that overrated =/= bad. I liked the show for 2-3 seasons.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Here comes the zoom and crop.

And the upscale.

Because I bet this just upscaled.

 

[BadAss2961]

Nice... Definitely rewatching this.

I only got into it about midway through the first season, and have seen most of the episodes only once. A lot of it should feel fresh again.

And the upscale.

Because I bet this just upscaled.

The Wire: Xbox One Edition.

 

[Cormano]

So this means future Blu ray release?

Man I sure hope so.

 

[Arc]

Just because someone doesn't love something doesn't mean they're a troll. Also worth noting that overrated =/= bad. I liked the show for 2-3 seasons.

The Wire is different though. It is perfect. Even the 5th season is miles better than anything on tv right now.

 

[blainethemono]

That's what i'm thinking. Wouldn't it just be the same thing as watching it on Amazon or whatever? Trying not to get too excited right now because in that case it's really not anything new

It's probably exactly that.

Laying 2:1 odds they're "remastering" The Wire by probably turning up the contrast and uprezzing it to 1080p.

Nick Sobotka girlfriend extended scene please.
