Thread: The Wire

Just watched the final episode and they werent wrong about the hype of this programme, i was hooked from day 1. Just gonna order the box set. Jimmy Macnulty was my favourite closely followed by Omar. Brilliant show.

HBO does great stuff, I only wish they had Mad Men, that show would be bad ass on HBO!!!

Generation Kill was awesome as well as Band of Brothers

Yeah i remember band of brothers it was awsome. My bro has it on dvd i think il borrow it some day.

Best Cop Show Ever !

In the running for just best drama.

Much better than the Sopranos.

I could go back and watch season 1-4 like today. Season 5 I didn't like as much (still great) and I saw fairly recently so maybe not.

yeah my mate loaned me the boxsets and I was hooked, watched them all in
a couple of weeks, another series I loved was OZ

I'm devastated that the Wire has now finished. A gritty and cynical depiction of the rich tapestry of urban Baltimore life, all interconnected. The best TV show ever made and, unusually for a US show, the moral seemed to be that there are no good guys or bad guys - everyone's a mix of the two ...... and life is seldom fair. Fantastic.
