my boy was working a subsidiary company off warner brothers and hooked me up the whole set for £40. sweet deal.
i haven't watched it for about a year, might have to make another start on it soon. DeLorenzo - 8-25-2011 at 10:58 AM

best show ever on tvJason the Magnificent - 8-25-2011 at 11:31 AM
Actually just finished watching all 5 seasons again about 2 weeks ago. It's not better than Sopranos IMO...but I'd say it's a damn close second.mattybar - 8-25-2011 at 12:02 PM
see, i started re-watching Sopranos again recently and there's something about it that i find a bit unsatisfying but i can't put my finger on it.
i always feel a bit short changed at the end of each episode.BDx13 - 8-25-2011 at 08:59 PM
i only just started watching the wire for the first time a few weeks ago. about four episodes into season two now.lifeisabitch - 8-25-2011 at 09:17 PM
restarting with the woman in a few days
can't wait.
I love the Sopranos but the wire is just a bit more realistic jcarter - 8-26-2011 at 01:12 AM
Anybody check this series out yet: Idris Elba (Stringer Bell) plays this whacked out Detective. They mentioned it on Geek Time the other day so I
checked it out. I liked it alot. Gets a little out there but overall very entertaining. Luthermattybar - 8-26-2011 at 04:15 AM
i only just started watching the wire for the first time a few weeks ago. about four episodes into season two now.
I started it maybe late July/early August and between after work/before work/weekends I managed to finish in about 5-6 weeks.BDx13 - 8-26-2011 at 11:40 AM
obviously i'll be sticking with it, but i don't feel as invested in season two as i did season one at this point. will definitely keep an eye out for
the stout appearance!
funny that he was also Vice President of Northeast Sales for Dunder Mifflingavin - 8-26-2011 at 12:19 PM
season 2 is kinda weird....get through it
from then on its all brilliance Jason the Magnificent - 8-26-2011 at 12:30 PM
Season 2 ends up being really good...the problem is similar to Game of Thrones...where you have a whole new group of people to familiarize with in all
the harbor people.
You'll also have the same issue in season 5 imo w/ all the newspaper people. In season 4 even though they introduced some new kids and school people
it didn't really feel as awkward though.
But with all things Wire, the build is slow...the payoff is huge and the person you don't recognize today will most definitely show up again later.gavin - 8-26-2011 at 12:45 PM
exactly
things always make more sense later on with the wireBDx13 - 8-26-2011 at 02:13 PM
obviously i'll be funny that he was also Vice President of Northeast Sales for Dunder Mifflin
by 'he' i meant Stringer.
anyone see those episodes of the office?
i did!! BDx13 - 10-11-2011 at 09:07 PM
Dennis. "Cutty" From Season 3.
My new favorite character.mattybar - 10-12-2011 at 05:06 AM
yeah Cutty was great.
a very compelling character.
when i first started on The Wire, I used to read the incredibly detailed episode guide on the HBO site after watching each episode as I was guaranteed
to miss something.
I think I'm gonna have to give the show another watch soon. Every time I re-watch it I pick up on something that I missed before and when you know
where the story is going, a lot of little things suddenly gain significance.BDx13 - 10-12-2011 at 06:36 AM
my wife is really into reading episode guides, i'll have to dig those up and send them to her.
one of the episodes we watched last night was the one where brother mouzone's boy was looking for omar in the gar bars of baltimore and as the camera
pans over the crowd, you see rawls at the bar. can't wait to see what, if anything, is done with that!mattybar - 10-12-2011 at 06:54 AM
i could be wrong but, strangely, i'm not sure that's ever mentioned again. Six66Mike - 10-12-2011 at 07:34 AM
Omar is the best character in this series, Bodie was the other one I liked and that guy was good in Oz too. Season 1 and 3 were the best, 2 was
awkwardly out of place and barely tied in to the rest of the series aside from the drug supplying Greek.
Jason the Magnificent - 10-12-2011 at 08:48 AM
True on 2, I think he was just trying to explore different aspects of the city...the rest of the series couldn't have happened w/o 2 though...imagine
if they would have just jumped into the next dealer, like if Marlo was in episode 1 of season 2. Wouldn't have been the same...it also helped develop
the cops.
The slow burn through seasons 2 and 3 is what made the entire rest of the series shine.Vanilla Gorilla - 10-12-2011 at 09:02 AM
I really enjoyed season 2Jason the Magnificent - 10-12-2011 at 09:26 AM
So did I, I could see the argument that it seemed out of place though. It actually was one of my favorite seasons. I'd say 1, 5 (this almost gets
bumped down for the news people...that stuff was good but some of it was trying), 2, 3, 4.mattybar - 10-12-2011 at 11:53 AM
i've come to quite like season 5 having re-watched it a few times.
it's all about the interactions between McNulty and Scott the reporter.BDx13 - 10-12-2011 at 01:12 PM
love that McNulty comes out with "what the fuck did I do?" once a season.
(so far, anyway)Jason the Magnificent - 10-12-2011 at 01:54 PM
spot on!morgan - 10-12-2011 at 04:36 PM
About 3 episodes into season 4 so far. Really enjoying this series.Six66Mike - 10-17-2011 at 07:55 AM
I think I figured out why they ran a sale. Apparently a re-packaged collection is due out at the end of November in time for Christmas.
