Season 1 completed, now onto Season 2.

i'm on Episode 4 and am loving it already Smile
I watched the whole 5 seasons pretty much back to back a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff. Season two does drag as cube says, a lot of new characters are introduced and shit but it is very good - might be my favourite season.
that's mad, ithought season 1 dragged on, and it picked up the pace for season two. :-d

we ordered seasons 4 and 5 on dvd from ebay, season 5 arrived real fast, but we ended up canceling the order for season 4, something to do with supplier issues. Roll

we've ordered another one though, it's it's already shipped.
it's a killer having season 5 sitting there and not being able to watch it! Lol

it's an amazing series though.

mcnulty nad bunk are hilarious.

omar is too cool. Cool

season 3 Icon_eek Icon_eek Icon_eek
one of the best shows ever made.

Season 4 is probably the strongest season followed by season 3.

2 was my least favourite but it has its moments.

Too many great characters: Bunk, McNulty, Omar, Stringer Bell, Prop Joe, Marlo, Avon, Chris and Snoop.

"shhheeeeeiiiiiitttttttt"
Ok, so which is the best site to stream season 1 from?
Co..Cou...Could you possibly rewind and come again?

Agreed. I watched it sporadically which made it worse. It seemed so slow that I lost the motivation to complete the first season. All I hear is good things though, I'll get back on it someday perhaps.

Lol same for me a few months ago, caned the lot

tried 2 or 2 episodes a few years ago and wasn't convinced after the inevitable sopranos comparisons... then came back to it last year, got converted and gobbled it all up :d

sopranos was more like cinema on the tv, whereas the wire actually exploits the long-view of serial tv better to build up a huge over-arching, eye-opening picture


btw, i reckon season 4 was the champion Xyxthumbs
Keep JUMPin ya Bastids
btw, I urge any of ye pirates Grin who enjoyed this from Torrentland to at least buy one season on dvd... the series was pretty criminally ignored beyond a few critical voices, and was regarded as disappointing in terms of its viewing figures...

A shame, cos more recognition for it might have encouraged more support for that kind of tv..
