Any fans of HBO's "The Wire" ?

[SaltyMcGee]

Quite possibly the best tv series of all time. Anyone else a fan?

[icehog3]

I was when it was on. :)

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.

Just started for the 2nd time through...it's amazing that despite knowing whats going to happen next, I'm just as excited for each new episode.

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.

Love it...own all the box sets. :tu

[SaltyMcGee]

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!

[maninblack]

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!

Check this video out. Compilation of the 100 best quotes from all 5 seasons. I think they missed a few, but this is really well done: The Wire: 100 Greatest Quotes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sgj78QG9Bg&playnext_from=TL&videos=0xOZmSx7Y5g)

I just downloaded all 5 seasons (except for one episode, that kept giving crc errors).

[maninblack]

You won't regret it Fernando!

[goalie204]

I loved it. Some seasons a lot more than others tho

I hope so, if I don't like it I will hold you personally responsible for wasting 60 hours of my life watching the show ;)

60 hours watching it and another thousand hours spent thinking about it in between episodes.

Just finished season 2, season 3 on the way via Netflix...
Do I look like "prez" or am I imagining it?

[Bill86]

Nice, a Wire thread. Love this show I've seen all 5 seasons twice. Kinda glad they ended it at season 5 and didn't "sopranos" it with a terrible 6th season.

At the risk of sounding like I have a schoolgirl crush, you are much handsomer than he is Julian. ;)

[hscmit]

loved it while is was on
I thought the final season was the worst of the series and wish they had done a better job(not sure what, just better) with the finale

Happened upon this. A reunion kind of discussion. An hour (plus) long, but if you're a big fan of The Wire, I think you'll enjoy it. Grab a cigar and enjoy!

I think I have watched this series about 3 times now. One of my all time favorites :)

[stearns]

Still haven't watched the last season yet, I binged hard a month back and watched the first 4, but haven't had too much spare time recently, and I don't want to watch one episode a day, I'd rather wait until I can watch the whole season in two days :tu

I'll definitely watch that link after I get around to finishing it, thanks for posting Joel

[shilala]

I caught the rest of the series on Amazon Prime just a little while ago.
