Season 5 premiere is on HBO On Demand. It was damn good, as always, and looks like it'll be another great season.

I dunno whether to recommend people tune in for season 5 or to just tape it and watch the first 4 season first, it'll make it a much more pleasurable experience!
Also cannot fucking wait, problem is I'm in the UK, first two eps have been leaked you say? |

Man, I've been planning on watching this show for the longest time. Seen the first few eps of season 1, just never seem to find time to watch the rest.

To some extent yes I would imagine, season 4 is intensely awesome, even more of a soapbox than the first 3

Clark Johnson is in this shit? Man, I need to get into this show. I never really did for some inexplicable reason. I loved Homicide: Life on the Street, and The Wire comes from the same source.

Yeah he's only just come into the fold in season 5 though, definitely worth checking it out right from the start. The acting in general is superb and the writing is pretty much as good as it gets.

Homicide: Life on the Street was greatness, Oz was greatness, I have no reason to doubt that The Wire would also be greatness. Definitely going to pick up Season 1 on DVD. |

Shame about the circumstances
Also episode 4 torrent is out, I assume you've seen it by now if you have HBO OD anyway but meh, gonna download that bitch 2niiiite Biggest tragedy of this series is the fact that Simon and co only got 10 episodes to do it, its still fantastic quality but as Simon himself admitted it feels a little rushed compared to the other seasons Also I'm guessing the theme for this season is essentially lies or lying, some casual fans have been complaining on the IMDB board about it being far-fetched, jumping the shark and such shit, I completely disagree, I think in regards to McNulty in particular the way he's gone is pretty logical considering his personality! There I said my piece without any spoilers |

I can't see it happening at this point, he was only ever mentioned in season 1, if he'd been brought up again later on I'd think it more possible.

Gotta say although its rushed I'm still really liking the way the media storyline is fitting in to the whole thing, It adds yet more subtext to the underlying themes of the whole series. This show is so much more than a cop/crime show it is untrue, real shame it gets portrayed as such because the political (ie anything non-street) storylines are so fascinating, I loved the scene in Episode 4 where Burrell cuts the bullshit with Rawls and tells it exactly how it is, also Nareese Campbell is brilliant. I'm loving the way Carver is developing too, his story may end up being the only positive thing to come out of the whole series, hope I've not spoiled anything there.

Woah dude darken that font so you don't spoil it for anyone who has yet to find the greatness that is the Wire
I'm upto ep 6 now, can't believe I've only got 4 new eps to watch ever But yeah, Marlo is one bad motherfucker, he's still not the soldier Avon is/was though. ps - LOVING all the cameo's in this season, dock characters, the greek, cutty etc, no Colvin or Prezbo yet though I think David Simon said the cameo's are like a reward to the viewers for sticking with the show or something |

Clay Davis is one of the greatest characters ever created
Also loving yet another obscure cameo with Savino |
