Quite possibly the best tv series of all time. Anyone else a fan?

I was when it was on. :)

Get the Dvd's and watch it a second time. I picked up tons of nuances in the writing and acting when I saw it again in sequence. Truly incredible!

Definitely one of my favorite series of all time, Jared, I was sorry when they didn't renew it.

Re: Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?
 

Actually there were no plans to renew it. David Simon meant to end it after the fifth season. Mined all the material he could.

Bad choice of words on my part, I knew that...and was still disappointed.

Re: Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?
 

Just started for the 2nd time through...it's amazing that despite knowing whats going to happen next, I'm just as excited for each new episode.

I love The Wire. Fantastic show.

I never bought the DVDs, but fortunately HBO OnDemand recently started from the beginning and I am watching the series straight through again. The beginning of the third season starts tomorrow or the next day.

My wife and I just finished it a few months ago. We rented all the dvds through netflix. It was a great show. It was intense too - if we watched it before bed, I'd frequently dream about it.

Fave police: I know I'm bandwagon, but McNulty
Dealer: Bodie
Overall Character: Hard to argue Omar...a man gotta have a code
Fave season: 3rd takes the cake

Re: Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?

Love it...own all the box sets. :tu

Re: Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?
 

Third season is definitely my favorite. Most of my friends outside of here are 4th season fans, but it seems like folks here know what's up!

Re: Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?
 

One of the best shows and the most underrated and underwatched show on TV. Bought the complete series and couldn't believe how good it was. Top notch acting,writing, and directing. Am loving Simon's Treme right now!
