...Wow.

I'm on series 3. It took me a little while to get into it.
But the slow character development really pays off.

Each series seems to get better.

It's up there with The Sopranos, Deadwood & Six Feet Under.
HBO really are fucking amazing.

I'm sure there's many bigger Wire fans than me on here...

Is Sobotka the fat dude on the docks? If its him, yeah, how
does it make us love him so much.

that's him. he's just trying to make the best out of a shit
situation though ultimately he can't transcend the system
he's a part of, that's the ultimate message of the show, I
guess.

I'm starting to get quite emotionally attached to this old
dude who's come out of prison after a big stretch and just
quit the gardening job to go back to 'da game'.

It's all going to end badly for him isn;t it. Don;t tell me.

One of the best shows ever made on HBO/Television.

Sorry that wasnt a link to the first episode. You're best
bet is to torrent really.

Awesome series, although it is a bit slow. Just started
series 4. Not sure if it will be the same without Stringer,
Omar etc.

OH OH OH!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!

It's OK, I'll pretend I didn't read it.

I still remember.

Oops, don't worry there's room for manouvere - I didn't say
they were both dead, one of them might still turn up in
series 4.

season 4 = best imo

It will be pretty fucking shocking if Avon kills Stringer.

Don't tell me...

Bunk's speech to Omar that made him take a massive spit,
with his eyes welled up, was fucking excellent. Gotta love
Bunk. Still, I love Bunny more.

I'm actually watching series 3 on BBC 2 at the mo, so going
along veeery slowly. Its a nice treat to end every weekday
tho.

Yeah, I started watching series 3 on BBC2 as well, but got
impatient and ended up torrenting the whole box set. S

eries 4 is shaping up very nicely at the mo. No doubt, this
is one of the best series of its type ever made, if not THE
best. Only Hill Street Blues compares.

I'm going to torrent for sure, for repeat viewings. But one
a day suits my sadly busier life these days. Working life
ruins everything fun.

yeah, season 4 is the best one. great show indeed, i've seen
1-5 once, and 1-3 twice
:D

its brilliant

season 4 is best. season 2 was my least favourite, 5 was a
bit poo too (the whole mcnulty storyline). but yeah its
fucking awesome anyway.
