It's incredible. I couldn't recommend it enough, but only if you can put your phone down and really pay attention for 60 mins at a time over 60 episodes. It's such a sprawling, nuanced show that each episode and season builds and expands off the foundation laid previously. All the pieces matter. The true main characters are not the people you meet, but the city of Baltimore and the institutions that shape lives.
You will love them both. The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad are not possible to watch passively. Watch one at a time only.
The Wire or Sopranos is what I view as the only legit options for first. Band of Brothers and Chernobyl are mini-series which I don't include as a TV show.
Game of Thrones was entertaining and caught a cultural moment as maybe the last collective watching experience before all the platforms fragmented and mass churned out content, resulting in everyone watching different things. Plus the ending was so garbage it's shocking to see it rated so highly.
That leaves Breaking Bad. It's good, don't get me wrong, however it's a numbers game. More people saw it due to being on A&E and included in most cable packages. The Wire or Sopranos were on HBO which was an extra cost at a time that cable packages reigned supreme and streaming did not exist. So simply less people saw it and then when it became more readily available via streaming, so many other viewing options existed.
The Wire is my personal choice, and it's unlike anything TV has ever produced. More akin to a novel than a show, and likely wouldn't work in current day due to our desire for instant gratification and requirement for tightly wrapped up stories.
Packers defense is fun to watch. Kraft Cheese Man is now finally on people's radar, but Packer fans were fawning over him last year.
Pretty much right. I can type in more detail later when not on phone/back from workout. But for easy math say it's 160 sats per square, for 100 squares. 16,000 sats total. There are 16 games. 1,000 sats to win each game (if you want to have quarter/half break downs you can) but only 1,000 sats total for each game. Let's say I have Winning Team 7, Losing team 3. If I had this in week 1 I'd have hit two games (Packers 27-13 over lions, and 49ers 17-13 over Seahawks) and I'd have won 2,000 sats of the win was for end score only (obviously different if you do quarterly/half rewards). The March Madness one I do at work is great as it tiers up per game winnings based on round, but that's for another day haha)
@SatSquares what happens if not all squares get sold?
I also have an idea for a "Weekly" square, which is similar to how I've done a March Madness square before. Where you buy squares and the get paid out a certain amount for any game that ends in your amount. Instead of the access representing individual teams, they represent the Winning team and the Losing team. This would likely, at the start make it easier to fill out a full pool in the early goings.
