It is much slower paced that alot of the stuff on TV now so that definitely makes it much harder to get friends to watch it because they want something crazy to happen every episode or else they lose interest fast. HBO always seems to do good work, but The Wire has to be sitting in the top 3 for a long long time IMO. | ||

I'd go one more and say 'better'. I'd go so far to say 'best.' Every character feels real, the script and acting are fantastic, and the plot is so engrossing. Season 2 is a bit of a step down from 1 I think, but season 4 is the best thing that has ever been on TV, and season 3 is almost as good. This show ruined TV for me. View with caution. | ||

One of the corner boys being rounded up for not moving locations to hamsterdamn is cuffed and thrown face first into the back of the police van, to which he exclaims, "You can't do this, this is America." The police responds with, "No. West Baltimore." Also, one time we were going to play some sports drinking games but our cable went out. We had the dvd set of the Wire on hand so we decided make the best of it. Take a shot of beer/wine every time there was a drug deal or someone said fuck. Everyone was passed out before we made it to the end of the first disk. | ||

My biggest problem was with Jimmy McNulty: + Show Spoiler + He was always put down in the show as a cop that had a problem with listening to authority if he disagreed and in season 2 we learn that he is more then willing to fuck over his bosses if he feels like it needs to be done to get his way. But to fake a serial killer? That is pretty outlandish for any character to do but especially for Jimmy considering how it is such a leap. He would do a lot of things but this? It just didn't fit him, it was too outlandish for his character imo. I still like the season and the addition of the newspaper was pretty intresting. Really makes you doubt how effective media can be and how the truth can often get distorted and there need to be no foul intentions and grand global conspiracies to make that happen. | ||

I miss the wire. <3 the Bunk | ||
