"Spoilers":

I'm halfway through Season 3.

This show just gets better and better.

Deadwood is still the greatest show on HBO, but this is coming a very close second.

yea, that's pretty much a major theme of the show. life keeps on going on as usual no matter who or what intervenes.

I loved Season 1.

I just finished season 2 today. The last two Saturdays I've nursed a hangover and watched The Wire all day. Season 1 and 2 were nothing short of fantastic. I haven't been this into a show since... well... ever. It's fucking amazing.

Downloading Season 3 now. Finally. Had other shows to catch up on. Got some House seasons in. Rewatches some Lost season 1 and 2.

Now i'm bout to catch on my 3rd favorite show of all time. The Wire.

Seasons 3 and 4 are the best for me, 4 in particular is just...Deep, and so complex, but so worth it.

I dunno, the season's before Stanfield just dragged to me. But I think I was spoiled with Omar/Barkesdale War in season 1 that I wanted more of that. That's why I loved the whole Stanfield/Barkesdale War in the later season's. And Season 2 was great because it was different and went to another area of Baltimore.

omg @ season 3

Unbelievable.

Can't believe ____________________

Halfway through season 4 now also. Fucking amazing.

I literally just finished the last 2 episodes of season 3 an hour ago and when i get home in the morning, i'll have a review of the whole season. Lets just say...this was epic television.

Gunna watch season 4 all day tommorow On Demand.

I'm not a huge fan of S2 but it is very important in the whole overall scheme of things. Key, actually.

I just started S1 up again. I'm about halfway through, and it's just as good, if not better, the second time around.

Oh, how naive I was. A bit later on I realised that The Wire is the best show ever. Bar none. It endears itself into your soul, and becomes part of life that you just cannot ignore. Fucking amazing.

I'm going over the show again, and I am noticing so much about it. For example:
It's just stuff like that which truly lets this show do such a whole number on you.

I finally ordered the box set a few weeks ago. It's fucking hard to watch just one episode of this. Last Saturday night I piled through half of season 1 in one go. It's a ridiculously engrossing TV show. All I've been doing this week is studying then rewarding myself with a couple of episodes, burned through season 2 this week too.

I just finished watching the series a few weeks ago. Felt the same way about only watching one episode.

I've watched it through in its entirety twice now, and the first 4 seasons about 3 times each on top of that. Still notice new things I never did before, and still find it impossible to watch just one.

Yeah watching through again. So unbelievably good.

Really transcends from a television show to an important aspect of life.

I just finished season four. Probably some of the greatest acting and writing I've ever seen in anything. There are so many great characters on this show. I don't think I have hated another fictional character as much as Snoop while watching this show.

the only thing i hated about season 4 was there was not enough McNulty

I was thinking the same thing actually. His character was wasted until the end, even more than Bunk was in season 3. For the most part they do a nice job juggling the characters with storylines, especially considering how many characters they have to give air time to.

Now I want to watch it from the first season again

Yeah I feel like rewatching seasons 3-4 now. :mad:

I got The Wire boxset for xmas, and I have just started season 3. Fantastic viewing.

Would watch this if I could tell any of the characters apart from each other

BAMMMMMMMmm

Bought the first three seasons and they sat on my shelf for about a year and a half before I got round to watching them. Flew through them once I started.

Amazing show. I've watched it start to finish twice now and I'd say it won't be long before I start watching it again.

That fourth season is absolutely amazing. Which surprised me because when I saw the emphasis was going to be on the kids I thought it might suffer. Couldn't have been more wrong.

Nearly finished all the seasons now; just watched episode 8 of Season 5. Some great shit.

So I'm just getting to this thread, and reading through it I see that you all echo the same sentiment that I felt/feel when it comes to this show. What a gripping, epic piece of work by all parties involved.

Also the

lol at Snoop :D

Funny story.. I've been a loyal HBO subscriber for over a decade, but they threatened me with a lawsuit after I missed one ep from season 5 and downloaded it from Pirate Bay
