Anyone A Fan Of The Wire

Probably my all time favorite show of all time. The writing, acting, deeply multi layered story telling is amazing. This show sadly only was on 5 seasons but is highly respected, and loved nowaday's

Anyone else a fan?

Yes!

I gotta get back to watching it though. I am about midway through season 2, so I haven't even seen the whole series yet.

I'll probably avoid this thread from now on, though, to prevent spoiling anything for myself.

Isn't everyone? I agree wholeheartedly about Season 4 being the best. This show is definitely in my top-5 all time and I think it's far and away the best show to ever appear on HBO.

Felt exactly the same, how could they leave it like that??? I'm currently attempting to forget myself in a whole bunch of other series that are good, but just not the Wire. Anyone done Boardwalk Empire? Wondering if it may be the hole filler...

Not yet. It's on my list of things to do really soon. Like within a week perhaps.

One of my favorite shows of all time! And I have to agree with AlexdeParis: Season 4 was the best. That scene between Randy and Sgt Carver at the hospital gets me everytime. So heartrenching, so sad.

Treme - also created by David Simon for HBO - is supposed to be very good, and it stars Wendell Pierce (Bunk) and Clarke Peters (Freamon) from The Wire. Doesn't seem to have made its way to these shores yet, so I may have to scout around and 'acquire' it somehow.... I admit, it's a tough hole to fill, though!

I love The Wire!

We got season 1 for xmas in 2009 and this year got seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5. We promised we'd only watch one or two episodes a week but of course it's late January and we're deep into season 4 already. lol Brilliant show! Possibly my favourite ever. smile

Still think that one actress who plays the dancer looks like kidsgirl too. lol


MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!!

And unless I'm mistaken she's from the Baltimore area.

Coincidence??

Yes she is. I remember FB-ing about the show and Stacey popped up talking about it being set in a cool city and I'd already told her I thought she looked like the actress. It only clicked later she'd said that because she's from there and lives there.
