She likes her nice cushy living handed on a plate for her. Acts like it's her right. Now she's been cut off she's happy enough to make her son give it to her and risk his life and prison. What a lovely mom.
 
There are many different views on S5; imo it brings another level of complexity that a lot of people don't 'get'. Others might say it's not there to 'get'. That's enough from me though. See what you make of it.
 
what's your favourite series? without having seen 5, I'm gonna say 1and 4.

Oh and have we had a Wire Character's thread yet? Prolly most def.
 
I can't do that really, OU threatened to saw my nuts off unless I told him and I couldn't :(

It's like saying which is your fav section of a book. Feels wrong . . . There are threads about it though, lot of views.
 
What do you mean, you CANT?! For example, I quite disliked series 2. Total anticlimax after series 1. All that stuff at the port... warmed to ziggy's dad though whose name escapes me and when he got killed, it saddened me but in the main, it felt more like a chore to watch that series.
 
For a lot of people on here S2 is their fav, the industrial/metropolitan decay, the allure of drug money on otherwise sound communities, all kinds of moral confusion, the wonderfully heroic but flawed and tortured Frank. A lot of very serious working class themes are discussed in S2.
 
Definitely agree with Madusa; S2 -whilst still really good and enjoyable - definitely dropped off in pace after S1 and wasn't as compelling imo

:D

I think 4 is my favourite. And 1. 1 more than 4, just because it was the intro to everything, and rewatching it after watching them all just adds to the whole enjoyment.
 
i've got tears in my eyes after what they've just done but I'm not allowed to say on here and cant remember how to use the spolier code. :(
