Oh good, this got bumped. I watched all five seasons and they were each pretty good. I don't think anything will top season 1 though. Season 3 was a little less entertaining than the rest, and Season 2 was a little on the negative side too. Still, a fantastic show that easily beats out anything else on TV.

The only shows that can compete are Dexter and probably House. And 24, if we get more seasons like 1, 5, and 7.

EDIT: I have not watched The Shield but I have heard the legends.

I think that line is even funnier when you remember Season 5's plot lines with the politicians lolololol. Clay Davis is fucking hilarious.

FTW

I thought the end of season 2 of dexter was fairly stupid, the whole burning apartment escape thing... unnecessary and I just couldn't make the disconnect.
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.

Fantastic show, one of my lectures did a talk in London recently about the social realism of it. Great shooting, really clever use of sound.

There's only one problem.

McNulty's accent is horrific. It's literally: *one word american accent* *8 words english* *one word american*. So horrific that I have to almost blank out the sound of his voice and imagine everything he said coming out of the mouth of a better actor. It's like reading a Dan Brown book, you have to black out anything he actually writes, and just pick up the storyline, or you will end up stabbing yourself.

His line "what the fuck did I do" always reminds me of Han Solo. It is so similar, and both are complete ass holes as well XD

great show, with great acting, scripts, characters and feel. i especially thought stringer bell was amazing in it as a whole - and the actor who plays stringer bell is from london, never would have guessed it.

that said i found season 5 to be very shaky, but still better then most other shows i can think of

best show ever? maybe not, but it's definitely up there (i still can't see past band of brothers for that title)

yep - and I actually liked s5 overall. The best part was where they go to the FBI to profile the killer. LOL

The best television show ever. I just finished the series this weekend. It got REALLY good like halfway through season 3 when Marlo and crew get introduced and start to play a major role. They're just so inhumanly brutal, but at the same time believable and human. Stringer Bell was my favorite character. I thought it was ironic how as soon as he was able to step back and see how needlessly violent the drug trade was becoming and tries to reform he uh... had things start going badly for him

Chris and Snoop were perfectly done also. I loved how they were so cold and calculating, yet crude and primitive at the same time. One of my favorite scenes was when Chris kills Michael's stepdad. He's normally so quick, efficient, and uncaring, but he got really passionate about that particular murder. I think the writers were trying to suggest that Chris had also been the victim of pederasty as a child.

On an unrelated note, the pit where D'Angelo and his crew sell drugs in season 1 looks EXACTLY like the dorm I stayed in last year. Though I don't like in Baltimore, so I know it's not the same.

The show is ok. It drags on a bit too much and opening scores turn to shit past season 2.
The best TV show ever still remains HBO's Rome in my opinion.

Opening scores turn to shit past season 1, IMO. But I do consider The Wire to be the best TV show ever.

Season 1 and 3 had the best renditions of the opening theme, with 4 being the worst by far, but yet the season was the best tied with 3.

And yea I think there were imply Chris had been molested as a child too, also interesting is that Snoop played herself in the show,

Star Trek TNG has more depth than any show ever made, like twice as much as even the best contenders. Even though The Wire is sick, TNG is clearly the best TV show ever made.
