... the US TV show not the pretentious music mag. Playing catch up, just finished Season 2. What a show. McNulty and Bunk, what a pair of drunken jokers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Wire is indeed brilliant, i'd probably go so far as saying its the best show on TV right now, even better than lost. I'm on the 3rd season right now, the best so far, McNulty is just funny |

||||||||

|
|

For the past three years, whenever you say “The Wire” white people are required to respond by saying “it’s the best show on television.” Try it the next time you see a white person! Though now they might say “it WAS the best show on television.” So why do they love it so much? It all comes down to authenticity. A long time ago, someone started a rumor that when The Wire is on TV, actual police wires go quiet because all the dealers are watching the show. Though this is not true, it seems plausible enough to white people and has imbued the show with the needed authenticity to be deemed acceptable. The popularity of this show among white people can create a unique opportunity for personal gain. If you need to impress a white person, tell them you are from Baltimore. They will immediately ask you about The Wire and how accurate it is. You should confirm that it is “like a documentary of the streets,” the white person will then slowly shake their head and say “man” or “wow.” You will be seen in an entirely new light. If you are not from Baltimore but the white person you are talking to is, they might start asking you a lot of questions. In this situation, you should just say you left when you were young but you still have a lot of cousins there but you don’t like to go back to visit. This will remove all doubts and they can go back to telling you about how John from Accounting needs to “stop snitching” about their two hour lunch breaks. |

"what the fuck did i do?" |
||||||||
|

|
|
best US show since twin peaks my opinion got nothing to do with authenticity, more to do with writing, character development, acting, direction stuff like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mcnulty and bunk solving the murder of the black woman using only "fuck" as dialogue in season 1 is one of the funniest things i have ever seen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
woweee mister, i'm near the end of season 2 and this show is wowwee mister! |
||||||||
|
|

I know a black guy from Baltimore and he says the show is really accurate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My Dad used to live in a row house in Baltimore like the ones in the show. Jews bought the row houses and sold them to black families. Right around that time the phrase "there goes the neighborhood" was coined |

i'm just starting season 4 now, i heard there were rumours of a movie? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The show ended here last Friday, great ending even when viewed for a second time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just finished season 1. started a few days ago and haven't been able to put it down since. it's really fucking good, innit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanx for the tip. on S1E10 - this series is the shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just watched all 5 seasons. GREAT SHOW. One of the most "authentic" stories I've seen. Highest recommendation possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mid-way through season 5. it really is special innit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah-- can't believe I slept on it for so long. Season 4 was probably my favorite over all... I really liked all the kids. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
season 3 is the pinnacle for me, but the kids in season 4 was very refreshing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah season 3 was hoppin' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say the TV show and the magazine are on about the same intellectual wavelength, actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on, lets have peoples #1 fave character. Teen choice awards stylee. You can only say one. I know it can change sometimes, but you gotta think hard and just be decisive dammit! Saying that, i have no idea... erm...to me it has to be Dennis/Cutty. I felt more emotional attachment to his character, when he was reforming hiimself, more than any other character. Quite a boring choice i know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah season 3 was the best, I also like to rewatch season 2, the greek was a great character. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably Stringer Bell. yeah I'd go 1. Stringer, 2. Omar, 3. Prop Joe then mcnulty, bunk and the rest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just read the rest of the thread... it's funny that I (seriously) praised it's authenticity after that whole post about how only white guys would do that. I don't take it back though. I mean the show is written/conceived by a long time reporter for the Baltimore Sun. great interview with him also, if I met someone from Baltimore I would totally ask if they've watched The Wire. No shame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bubbles, all the way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watched that interview. Really insightful. Love the way he talks about being labelled a 'socialist' at the mere suggestion of any sort of change which concerns improving the life of socially disadvantaged people. |
