The Wire

[Nixon]

After years of my two good mates telling me to watch that bloody series I finally figured out what all the fuss is about Finished Season 4 last night.I did like 6 episodes last night.Sometimes I put on The Wire before i've even got out of my bed or made my morning joint And im not a tv person..but it's the only series that seems to hit every angle for me.
Any other urbanite fans? Why is it so good? Favourite characters?

If you can be bothered to do a search, there are probably at least 50 threads on The Wire on here.

Cheers for the linky..That search function never works for me

 

[Orang Utan]

never heard of it

 

[London_Calling]

Decent band.

The free CDs are good sometimes, but I preferred it when it was just about modern jazz.

 

[HobgoblinMan]

It's not as good as Dark Angel.

 

[Belushi]

Second best series ever after the Shield, but then I'm a shaven headed white man.

Blew me away. As you say, hits on pretty much every level.

Decent British showing in the cast, too

It's addictive as fuck Just started to watch it all from the beginning again

No, everyone else here hates it.

Yes yes yes, fantastic series. I try to inform my "fellow Canadians" how America has ripped off and dumbed down the British material they have stolen. Watch the real thing. It is so frustrating, but again, another brilliant program.

I did like 6 episodes last night.

I got into it last year... Had to watch it in binges of five or six episodes too!

Might watch the entire series again... Maybe drinking when McNulty drinks. Yeah, the wire pissed sounds like a good idea.

Mad Men is better.

Mad Men is better.

No. No it's not.

[skyscraper101]

Brookside is better.

 

[kyser_soze]

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[sojourner]

Brookside is better.

Only early Brooky though - back when we had Ba and Te, and our Sheila

Good: someone else from the same school of thought as me.

Mackey ftw

Mad Men is better.

just started watching that. Two episodes and I'm finding it hard to like anyone in it or be very intrigued as to what will happen. I'll persist tho

It wouldn't surprise me if you found anyone to 'like' in it. Doesn't stop it being a better drama than The Wire IMO.

Series 6 was the best tv ever. Why they only let a small number of elite viewers get hold of copies before burning the rest will always be a mystery to me. Omar's twin brother was just amazing in that.

Interesting. Why do you think it's 'a better drama'? Actually don't answer that unless you can do so without spoilers
