    I've got both boxsets for Oz & The Wire. As good as Oz is, it's just not on the level of The Wire, which is far and away the best TV show ever. I do see the parallels though, as they were respectively the first shows to look at it from both sides of the law, and there were shades of grey on either side. I can't think of a single character in The Wire who doesn't have that one human moment where you feel empathy for them. Even Clay Davis, Rawls and Marlo have it. Maybe Valchek doesn't.

    Although Koppas for such a Wire fanatic, you missed that Chris stomped on Michael's step-father not his brother

    You know what I meant. Chris wouldn't have stomped on bug. That would've been a tad unfair. Just missed out the word father. "brother's father".

    Clay Davis - that scene in court. You should hate the man but you can't help but love him.

    I hated Clay Davis and I was so glad he was about to go to prison. I hated he wormed his way out of a legit conviction. But I loved how he did it. But I loved how Freamon got him to give up the goods on other people.

    You're very welcome. I always thought that it was ok to speak in any topics, even those where we don't know much in order to learn, except if we consider that the will to learn and curiosity aren't good, of course.

    I was only pulling your plonker mate, the lack of smilie probably prevented you from seeing that.

    I apologise wholeheartedly. Please accept this picture of a horse as a peace offering:

    Trade the horse for 2 camels and it's all forgiven, they are easier to trade against women in Morocco.

    Seems like everyone's watched "The Wire" except me. To be honest American TV shows don't normally interest me. Except for the Sopranos because im a big fan of the gangster genre.

    Honestly mate, get it watched. I can't emphasise enough just how good it is. You will thank us all later. I am contemplating having a lobotomy so I can watch it again with a clear and fresh (if not somewhat jaded) mind. It's THAT good.
