Great show indeed. Only season I didn't totally get into was number 2. I like the mean streets better than the ports. I think 3-4 were my favorite. Wish it was still on air. Has quite the cult following now and would probably garner better reviews.

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Easily my favorite series ever on tv. A strong statement above the classics but got hooked after I got HBO and saw it on demand. Watched it all in like 2 weeks and the characters are great. Omar is a bad ass & Mcnulty's character is hilarious. Was gutted when after last episode.

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Watched seasons one to five in about two weeks pretty much none stop about 4 months ago.

Doubt there will be a tv series like it that I can compare (shield maybe?).

Outstanding and strangely I enjoyed the port season the best.

And Omar is one badassed mofo!

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

Recently started this, on to S4.

So someone educate me ... it all that shit for real? Is that what really happens with all the pagers and burners?

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

i think a lot of it was based in reality that the creator saw during his time as a crime reporter in Baltimore. I dunno about the pager stuff being real though. I love that show....

Re: the best show on TV: The Wire

This is probably my favorite show of all time. It just feels so realistic and the plot is amazing. Season 3 and 4 are my favorites.

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

yeah. greatest show ever filmed.

interesting comments on season 2.

I thought it was the weakest season of all 5, but on second viewing, i think it may have been the best (next to season 4). They're all strong though.

was at dinner last night and we randomly got on the topic of this show. strange how so many people love this.


if you're having any continuing withdrawal (like I am! even months after watching it) then I recommend checking out Homicide: Life on the Streets. It's filmed by the same director and is set in Baltimore with some of the characters who later showed up in the Wire (which was filmed a few years later).
