"Do you need to WATCH the wire? Or can you just listen to it?"


  

          

How much am I gonna miss about the show if I treat it like a podcast?

a podcast is meant to be consumed as a podcast...
Nov 18th 2015
20
      Which I understand. Which is why I asked.
Nov 18th 2015
      i can't think of a single tv drama that can be enjoyed with audio only

Nov 18th 2015

      So is just listening and not watching.
Nov 18th 2015
21
           Not the same. I define my consumption.
Nov 18th 2015
25
                lol.. you don't need to hear announcers to follow a game
Nov 18th 2015
28
                     And you don't need visuals to follow all stories.
Nov 18th 2015
30
                          OK.. but the comparison to game announcers is odd
Nov 18th 2015

Nov 18th 2015

The acting is too good, you'll miss out on a lot.
Nov 18th 2015

there is an underrated amount of non verbal shit from great directing.
Nov 18th 2015
11
too many scenes that require your viewership to understand
Nov 18th 2015
12
Thank you. I'm gonna opt out. I don't watch with that much detail.
Nov 18th 2015
16
the show has a variety of menacing characters to take in...
