Finished the first season, and all I have to say is, wow... Loved the action in the last few episodes. Intrigued to find out how the story can continue now, seems like the Barksdale crew has faltered now.
Started Season 2, got through the first four episodes, and yeah, they're quite slow. But with that team being formed **** will likely hit the fan again. Was reading through the old posts in this thread and yeah, what Chuck said was so true. I kept waiting for the drug situation to rise up again in the first few episodes of Season 2 and got disinterested, but now that they've shed some light on the port guys, it's back to amazing.

They have to set everything up. You'll be really happy with Season 3, I think. All the storylines are brought back up from before. The best McNulty moment ever comes later in the season. You'll know it when you see it. First time I saw Season 2, I hated it. Second time I watched it, I loved it much more than Season 1, and every time I re-watch it, I think "wow this might be the best season." But then again I think that after every time I watch 3, 4, or 2. Keep me updated with what you think.
Hey man, D got murdered... I was heartbroken when that happened. I really like the character development this show does. Goes really in-depth and has me rooting for a 'bad' guy every season. Well, out of the first two anyways. The first season I was rooting for DeAngelo and Bodie, and now I'm rooting for Nicky. I really like the Second Season so far. The port guys are so down-to-earth and I can see that happening in real life. The drug part though I can also see, but where I'm from, no one walks down the road with a shotgun and the cops don't even hear about it.

Anyone else watch this?</div> I caught a bit of this the other night, it was on at like 2:00am, I wasnt very impressed, I thought the acting was absolutley terrible. I love/d Oz though, and I'm a huge Sopranos fan.

Not much to say except it was great again. Now I have to wait for the third season to finish downloading.

I just finished the first couple episodes and I'm enjoying it a lot. I got to say it's a refreshing break from the shows that feel obliged to throw a twist every few minutes (Prison Break, 24, etc.).

"Its better then 10 supersbowls, I don't want to oversell it so see it for yourself"....10 points if you recognize the quote. BTW...does anyone know if season 1 of the Wire is available at blockbuster?

The Wire is on right now here (at 12.22 am, lol), im watching it while listening to Lauryn Hill. It looks like a show I'd really like, I just can never get into it. When ever I see it, they're always on the same old block, theres always heaps of black people just wandering around aimlessly.

So you tried to catch the censored version of a show halfway through the episode, halfway through the season, with music playing, and with a closed mind going into it? Gee, wonder why you couldn't get into it... The Wire is a visual novel. You read a novel from beginning to end, and give it your undivided attention. Every line of dialogue, every glance is important. "All the pieces matter" - Lester Freamon
Chill man, I'm not dissing the show, as I said, It looks like a show I'd really enjoy. I watched the last 15 - 20 minutes properly and did enjoy it. I've been planning on downloading the first season for some time now, but I never get around to it. I'll go search for a torrent now.
Bumping this thread up because I finished Season 4 a month ago, and just today I met Melanie Nicholls-King who plays Cheryl, Kima's ex-girlfriend at the amusement park I work at. Had a conversation with her about the show and she revealed to me that they're filming the fifth season in Baltimore right now and that the storyline will be unlike any season before it. She also said you'll get a sense of closure from the ending. Also met her son, who actually plays her son in the show too. Cool lady.<u><u></u></u>
