The Wire

I wish I could watch The Wire and Arrested Development again for the first time. 2 of the top 5 TV shows of all time.

I feel your pain brother.

I've just finished my second viewing of The Wire. It is still awesome but I envy people who are watching it for the first time, I gotta be honest.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Only Fools And Horses, are the best

You really can't compare Auf Wiedersehen Pet with The Wire

I agree clearly putting The Wire up against Auf Wiedersehen Pet is a disgrace.

Agreed, I thought the Wire was the greatest tv drama show i have ever seen!

I just finished the last episode of the last season of The Wire. I am a huge Sopranos fan and halfway through the first season I knew this was better. Every character, if he lives long enough, has such a rich development. Every good guy has dirt on him, (almost) every bad guy has some redeeming quality. The only one I can think of who didn't was Marlo. He was just a jerk through and through. Maybe Cheese too, but even he had a soft spot for his dog. I thought Chris was good for nothing but being a stone-faced killer, but he was just so GOOD at it. The way he looked at people, it was like a shark was watching them. I never want to be looked at by someone like that.

But by far my favorite was Omar. A gay stick-up man who's only as ruthless as he needs to be who comes equipped with a set of rules. The only one I didn't really like was Brother Mouzon. He was too... comic book-like.
