THE WIRE is the greatest show ever.

[strahanfan92]

It's good, but not even Top 5 for HBO Original Series.

1.) Oz
2.) Rome
3.) John Adams
4.) The Sopranos
5.) Deadwood

Question, have you seen all 5 seasons of the wire?

I've seen 3 of the 5. They were on Megavideo though, maybe I'll download the XVid.

Just watched S1 E1. I can already tell I will like this show. Gonna start E2 now.

 

[MVP1991]

This isn't a thread for awesome television shows it's a thread for the greatest show.

Then The Sopranos > The Wire

 

[Sharkweather]

Four episodes down tonight. So many characters, it is hard to keep track of who is who.

 

[strahanfan92]

yeah thats how i felt when i first watched the couple episodes

 

[Point Blank]

The Wire and Oz ftw!

 

[Coked Up Elmo]

I've never been as bored watching a TV show as The Wire... I bought the first season just because I loved Oz and figured it'd be good too. Made it through season 2 and had to call it quits. It had it's moments, but for the most part it's something I'd watch if I needed a good nap. Maybe it's just the style in which it was done, or the actors (besides Bubbles) - but damn, two thumbs down from me.

And nothing wrong with liking The Office and Lost over The Wire - at least those shows entertain.

watch season 4 it is amazing, just watch like the first episode and then like the last and you will be like holy shit what the fuck happened to these kids

 

[Sharkweather]

I just watched all of season one in the last 26 hours. Good show. I'm definitely hooked. I started downloading season 2 right now so hopefully I can start watching that later today.

Classig sig. Eastside vs. Westside bball game is definitely FTW. I haven't seen it in a year or two but still remember it well. I love when Sydnor and Carver go to the game because no one is on the corners. Boadie asks them why they aren't at work. Of course Carver asks Boadie the same question, haha. Classic shit.

I agree here, Seppy I'm in the same boat as you. I discovered this show after it was already over but def 2nd favorite show to watch.

Wee Bey is the shit. Glad he finally stepped up and let his son out of the life. He had to get real with his cunt of a wife/baby mama in prison. One of my favorite scenes from Season 5. Also loved Bey in season 3 going up against Omar in the streets.

So many classic moments, gonna have to get back on the wagon LOL.

^ oh shit I see Wire sigs are taking over....might have to jump ship and get me one.

Too many great characters for me to list a favorite, I just had one for each aspect of the show.

Hall:
Clay Davis, easily

Cops:
Lestor Freamon, edging out McNulty

Street:
Slim Charles, edging out Wee-Bey, Cutty, Stringer, Boadie and Avon

Kids:
Michael easily

But the best character on the whole show, is this guy:

Proposition mothafucking Joe, ladies and gentlemen!

 

[Sharkweather]

Good call NAHSTE. Freamon is my favorite of the law enforcement as well.

I really dislike Prop Joe though, West Side!

Davis' character hasn't really took off to much from where I'm at and haven't got to Slim Charles or Michael.
