The Wire

[Dandyman]

Finished watching Series 1 and 2 on DVD a week or so ago and have now ordered series 3 and 4 from Amazon.

Any other fans of this quality drama out there?

why are you buying it when it is being shown on BBC 2

 

[CHAPPERS]

Best thing on television ever. I'm watching it through for the second time now and it's even better than it was the first time round.

Because I get the whole package (including cast and writer interviews and other additional bits) rather than having to record it or stay up later than I want to.

I watched a bit of an episode the other night, did seem really good but thought it was bizarre having this bloke giving a strange documentarian commentry throughout.

About fifteen minutes in I realised that I had the BBC channel for the blind on.

Not sure I can match that.

superb television, gets better and better....

personally series 4 is my favourite, however have started watching them again and as previously stated gets better second time round.

Omar rocks.

Omar is the man!

I started watching on BBC2, but due to impatience I have borrowed all the DVDs from a colleague. Starting season 3 last night...

Already quite possibly my favourite TV series ever.

Watching on BBC 2, series 2 is slower than series 1 but is now getting good (3 to go I think). Top program though and can't wait for series 3

Watched the lot last year, from season 1-5. Don't think I could watch it again even though I really enjoyed it. Guess there's just to much other things out there for me to watch, like breaking bad.

I proper love The Wire.

Same here, best sereis I've ever seen proably. The thread on here a couple of months ago got me interested and I've now seen series one and two and will be buying 3 and 4. So watchable that I have watched them through every free evening regardless of what else is on tv. Have to use the sub titles though..

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

Totally hooked...proper gritty....and some quality characters.

 

[Questions]

That bit with McNulty doing 'The Englishman'' and then visiting the brothel was quality......

f***ing magic. You can stick Ashes to Ashes up your arse (although Keeley Hawes would most certainly get it, and twice on Sunday)

i thought one of the best tv shows EVER for its first four seasons badly let itself down in the fifth season with some pretty heavy handed treatment of the media/police corruption storyline and the musical montage at the end showing you what happened to most of the surviving characters was completely unnecessary (i much preferred the Sopranos' what the f**k? style ending). shame because the first 4 seasons were superb and Omar was one of greatest tv characters of all time.
