I gave up on the wire the first time I watched it, 4 episodes into the first season. I didn't get what the fuss was all about. Started it again after a few month but this time with no expectations, no distractions and no judgements. Just let the story unfold and afterwards reflect on what you just saw. By the end of the first season I was convinced that this is the best television I have ever seen. | ||

We have the Irish detective guy who looks to be the main protagonist, who has the kinda funny fat black partner and asshole boss. Then we have the lesbian detective whokinda looks like a lead character too, commands the redneck and the other guy who just want to crack heads. Somewhere higher up is the black guy from Fringe in a suit. Then we have the street guys, the kid who got charged with murder then demoted to lowtown, and he has a badass uncle or somthing. And we have the 2 random junkies on the street. Whom did i miss? | ||

There is no "main character" in this show. Every character has his story, and each of this story converge to picture Baltimore. The city is actually the main "character" of the show. Most of the characters you saw in the first episode will be throughout the whole show, and many more will be added. Each will have his own story, and it is never shallow. I encourage you to keep watching this serie, as it is a very powerful show, and my very favorite TV show (and i watch a lot of them). Many thinks it is the best show ever made, and they are right. | ||

I've been stuck on the second season for half a year now. Season 2 gets better the further you get into it. But still, I didn't find it dull in the slightest, so maybe that's bad advice. | ||

Ziggy, Frank, and Nick were insanely good characters. Plus Omar/Bodie/Stringer/Avon have large parts. Power through man! | ||

That little personal beef was pretty hilarious. | ||

What about Proposition Joe and The Greek? The part where the Airport employee asks him "business or pleasure?" And he answers "Business always Business" after all shit that happened literally made me cringe :O. | ||

In a few decades, people will remember that our era was filled with awesome series, and I'm pretty sure The Wire will be the crowning jewel  | ||

I love how Prop Joe gets "touched" and because of all the buyouts not a single person reports it. There is literally no one left in the newsroom who knows the city long enough to know when actual news is happening. I thought S2 and 5 were the weakest but after watching them again they are just as good as the rest. There is no weak season IMO. There is only the one you find as your favourite. After watching the entire show again for the 4th time (i think). I still don't have a favorite season. They are all brilliant. | ||
