on a whim, I bought the entire series of this show, maybe you've heard of it
now I'd heard the hype
it's been called the best show on television, the smartest show, maybe the best drama ever made
for once, I can say that without a doubt it's true
it's gritty, it's very realistic and has some of the most well-drawn and compelling characters I've ever seen
Omar alone could have an entire series to himself, a gay bad-ass who robs other drug dealers
but goddamn pretty much everyone on this show is incredible in their own ways
so let's talk about it
also, mark your spoilers, I'm only 3 episodes into season 3 and hopefully this thread'll convince others to pick it up
oh, and this show just started!
it's about prohibition in Atlantic City and it has basically every good actor in it ever, you should watch it
especially because of this man:

McNaulty bones everyone.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
season 3 spoilers
I do not care much for the later seasons.
They're good, but they don't have the characters that the first three seasons have.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
But the subject that the fourth season is about didn't really engage me.
The fifth is kinda similar to the first, but like I said, the characters just aren't as strong.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
Like Queer as Folk or something?
Is there lots of bare man on bare man "acting"?
1) It is an amazing show
2) If I have one more out-of-towner ask if it is "just like the wire" I will curbstomp a bitch.
!! SATAN LOOK HERE !!

Also, I have an extra copy of the wire season 4 that's useless to me since I bought the complete series. Anyone want it? (us residents only plz, unless you wanna spring for shipping)
if season 4 is about
At least with all the other seasons you could see the point of it.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
Alan Sepinwall does an essay about each episode at http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching It's fascinating reading material.
I love season four if not just for the politics and the general awesomeness that is Tommy Carcetti.
i'm only three episodes in but i like it so far
omar little for president
though it is a little suspect in the whole 'white guy only guy to fix black city'
i figure david simon wasn't intending to do that though. i respect that man immensely.
but he doesn't fix anything
that's the point
What other series would I enjoy if I enjoyed this?
THE WIRE - 100 Greatest Quotes (spoilers)
Generation Kill is by the same people and is also fantastic, so you should watch that.
I will watch it so hard
yeah, that's true

If you liked The Wire and haven't watched Treme yet, the first season just concluded. Definitely give it a watch, it's just as compelling.
So true. I got bored halfway through the first episode twice before I realized that I couldn't be reading forums while watching like I can with most other shows.
well carcetti was in queer as folk
take that to the bank
oooooooooooooh can't wait
The wire ends up, at its core, being an excellent treatise on societal institutions and how they work in tandem, or in conflict (or how simply don't work at all). The show really does touch on how these institutions actually get shit done, how a city in decline actually handles the pressure... Season two notably addresses the economic core of failing american city. Everything else, the kids, the press, the pols....
"I caught him, bunk, on the wire I caught him.... and he doesn't fucking know it."
well it's all in the game.
donate the 70+ hours to watch all of this episodic gem
my hand to god, you won't be disappointed
Thanks guys, now I have to start another re-watch.
the freshest example of this in my mind right now is the city editor of the baltimore sun in the fifth season, gus haynes
he is so good and so clean and so perfect, you would swear they were filming in the actual news room
in the truest sense, this show is amazing
i have no trouble believing omar little is in an apartment somewhere eating honey nut
You can tell that Sepinwall is really into the show. His interview with David Simon is fantastic.
well, technically, the girl who played Snoop wasn't an actress. she pretty much played the person she would probably be today if she didn't turn her life around after being sentenced to prison at 14. she met Michael Williams (Omar Little, also Saul Williams' brother) in a bar in Baltimore and he asked her to come tryout for casting, so she did and got the part.
