Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

thanks Res, that was a pretty cool video.

I am actually taking to trip to Bmore in April. I will definitely be getting some lake trout with extra hot from the corner store

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

^I'll definitely check out the Homicide series you referenced.

I've also heard that prior to The Wire HBO produced a miniseries called The Corner that served as the the motivation for The Wire to actually get into production.

Homicide was a great show. Def worth watching. Andre Braugher was great in that series.

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Its easy to watch the second time for me as i remember characters and certain scenes so I am pausing a lot to bring my girl up to speed. In doing that I have realised just how much info there is every 10 minutes to share with her

Another reason why The Wire is a great show. The cast are original gangsters from Baltimore. Hell the deacon is played by the REAL Little Melvin Williams...the most OG of them all from Bmore.

BS: Settle an office debate. Best Wire character of all time?
Obama: It's got to be Omar, right? I mean, that guy is unbelievable, right?
BS: We might break this down as like a March Madness bracket, and I think he's going to be the no. 1 seed. [Laughter.] Everyone is in on Omar, it seems like.
Obama: He's got to be the no. 1 seed. I mean, what a combination. And that was one of the best shows of all time.
BS: Yes, I agree with you.
Obama: Yes, it was a great show.

Ok I'm with you on this one. Just bought the whole 5 seasons on DVD.

I'll begin Season 1 tonight over a glass of wine.

I've seen too many random episodes and obviously cannot follow it right. SO I'm going to take this in the right order this time.

So question: Breaking Bad or The Wire?

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

^Damn. The Wire #1. Breaking Bad #1.2

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Buttt.. The 5th season of BB hasn't aired yet. That could be all out crazy and could be the best show of all time if that happens.

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Caught up to season two. Holy shyte this is good.

One thing I would like to know is weather this is based on actual events?

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

The main writer of the series was a crime reporter in Baltimore for many years for a newspaper there, so everything is based on his experiences there during that time.
