The Wire comes to BBC2 (Spoiler free, please)

Come one now Wirettes- there are bits in posts 801 (quoted agin in 803) that need spoilers.

Or better still Crispy lift them and start a new discussion thread for those who have seen it.
 
sorry, i was trying to be as general and nonspoileresque as possible, didn't tell anything that actually HAPPENED ... but anyway - have tried to spoilerise that post but didn't manage. directions on how to hide the not-that-informative information please?
 
I suspect only a Jew (David Simon) could get away with writing that character.

He pretty much says that much in his voice over commentary for one of the S1 episodes.

Just finished ep 6 of s2 yesterday. Fucking thing sucks that you lot have got to wait 2 weeks now.
 
Well, by the end I was quite addicted. I must go back and watch the whole of series 1 again now on my computer rather than the TV so I can pay more attention as I tend to end up withn 1 eye on the TV & 1 eye on my PC when watching telly. I'm definately looking forward to series 2 in a few weeks.
 
I had another Wire related dream the other night.

Me and some of the detail were busting the offices of Grazia magazine for paedophilia.
 
I bought it, yes. Up to ep7 of s2 now. Reaffirming that as much as I love FS it still isn't top of my list of seasons. That award goes to S4.
Excellent. Just wondered about extras in the box set. You mention commentary from David Simon, is there much of it and what else have you come across?
 
Ha if it's that Polish one it's not "that" bad.... I got a truly fucking shocking one of series 5 where the quality is even worse than streaming it online! Shoulda twigged with the file sizes.... :oops:

So series 1 is over now? God, they really demand dedication don't they the Beeb, nowt on iplayer so it's 5-day a week late night serious business! Feel sorry for those not so used to internet wizzery and streaming, missing an episode is bang outa order! :D

Ahh well for those who are still really just getting into it, you're so damn lucky!! It's been said before I know, but damn it's true....
