Default Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
