“I’ve only seen two episodes. I have Sopranos, I have Breaking Bad and someday when I grow up, I have The Wire to catch up on, which are the three I think of when I think of extraordinary television,” Farrell said at the Jazz at Lincoln Center.

“That, kind of, in their time, changed the face of television and opened up possibilities for other shows,” Farrell said.

“So what do I think of when I hear about those comparisons? Nothing but compliments," he continued. “You know, they’re revered and deeply loved shows by so many people. So that’s — they’re cool comparisons. I think there are worse ones you could make.”
