The Wire - Spolier for Season 3 now incl

[WillburForce]

how the f*ck did I miss this first time round?

I'm just getting towards the end of season 1. It's quality. And I've got 4 more series to get through! Yay.

McNulty's the man "What the fuck did I do?"

[lolzzz_321]

yeah, def best series I have seen

[Deanglow]

holy fucking shit best show ever j39duh208 u28030 0823j83 yu82 ur082 u30 9u0 u3089r uur0923

[drmcboy]

yeah I'm jealous, i wish I could watch it again for the first time

bunk, of course, is actually the man. but you don't know that yet.

[will641]

yeah i just finished season 3. is it brag or beat i finished 2 and 3 in about a week? also yeah, bunk is the shit.

[kb coolman]

Sounds like this needs to go in my queue.

[WillburForce]

yeah i just finished season 3. is it brag or beat i finished 2 and 3 in about a week? also yeah, bunk is the shit.

thats a brag.

series 1 has taken me a 2 weeks - my missus will only watch two in one sitting.

I'm about to watch another episode now. yay!

and looking forward to Bunk becoming the man. He cracks me up!

[will641]

idk what drmcboy means...bunk is pretty clearly the man throughout the series.

[drmcboy]

Well, let's agree that McNulty's awesomeness arcs down from season one and bunks upward. Where they start is perhaps more a personal preference.

[will641]

lol, mcnulty is the biggest degen ever. you gotta love it.

[bode]

im 1/2 way through season 2 right now and the show definitely delivers.

Whatever you do dont let season 2 weird you out. It's actually really good but you might not realise on the first watch.

[drmcboy]

yeah season two was a curve ball that just goes to show how awesome the show was, it go without any 1-2chars/plot lines without missing a beat. Plus White Mike is the best name ever

hmm now I may need to rewatch them all next time the netflix cue looks iffy

[Deanglow]

season three is the best imo, followed closely by season 4

and omar is the fucking man

[drmcboy]

agree, season 3 ftw, I'd say 3, 4/1, 2/5 i guess

omar is above men!

[Halv]

OMAR COMIN!

I thought ses5 was really meh though. (donning flame proof suit)

[drmcboy]

ZOMGSA UIABPFIUJBASFASF A WTF NOOB

I did the the newspaper section was the least good thing they ever did, and the final mcnulty story line was obv a bit out there and sorta wait wat-y. also I think by then the bar was set really high. I will be interested to see how it stacks up watching them all closer together.

[Deanglow]

also thought the 5th season was meh, but the last 3 episodes were my favorites of the series

[wufwugy]

if this is not the best drama ever made, it's definitely tied at number one. It'll make you ashamed you ever liked other cop dramas.

i dont care for the hate on the fifth season. it was just as good as the others, except that the bar was so high and everybody was expecting something else. what most of us dont acknowledge is the theme of the series and each season. the whole series was a greek tragedy and about changing it up, and the each season had a specific theme that most (including myself) dont get.

i watched a lecture with david simon, and nobody in the audience even knew what the fifth season theme was until he told them, and this theme was fantastically enacted.

[zook]

Just started watching a couple of months ago, a little more than halfway through season 3. Please no spoilers itt.

I thought Season 2 was meh tbh but Season 3 is making up for it big-time.

omar is above men!

Indeed.

[bigspenda73]

never seen it

heard it sucks

[WillburForce]

i'm reading Homicide by David Simon at same time -really good book - though never ending. Loads of The Wire is taken from the book.

2 more episodes then I'm on season2 - bit worried by some of the comments, but i'm sure I'll get into it.

lol Spenda - only thing thats sucks is Omar.

[Da GOAT]

ive heard good stuff about this. is it coming to a close anytime soon??

Im a big series whore at the mo but very few shows interest me,

prison break - cant wait till its finished, 6 more episodes to go. hope its last series bcoz its been fairly crap this season

shield - got gf to watch first 4 series so far, nice to know theres a finish line at only 7 series

lost - god wtf at series 4 cudnt be arsed anymore

heroes - first season great, 2nd seasn ok, first 2 watched in season 3 and im not too impressed.

[WillburForce]

The Wires finished - only 5 seasons/series

[Halv]

The Shield is awesome all the way, the finale is one of the best I've seen on tv. I think I like The Shield better than The Wire overall, but then again they aren't really the same type of show other than both involving cops.

[Halv]

Also Stringer Bell is the stone cold nuts, wtf@no mention earlier in the thread.

[lolzzz_321]

i like marlo the best

[Da GOAT]

wire got dodgy cops or are they all straight up flowers?

[WillburForce]

wire got dodgy cops or are they all straight up flowers?

soem of the cops are a bit dodgy, but that ain't the main focus.

Seriously, if you ain't seen it, go buy it today.

you should watch homicide. it's still probably my favorite tv series of all time (or certainly way up there) and it has quite a few familiar faces from the wire.

[drmcboy]

really? wife and I could not get through the first couple homicide discs, maybe we'll try again someday

[WillburForce]

I'm now 4 episodes from finishing series/season 2. I'm really enjoying it. The docks thing is a bit diffrent, but i'm liking it non the less.

And Bunk is getting funnier and funnier.

[BigPapi]

Gotta give this show a chance after reading these reviews. The Shield is still awesome, got 1 till 5 on dvd but for 6 and 7 I'm depending on the internet... will get them soon, so looking forward to that. After that I'll definitely be focussing on The Wire

[kettleofish]

Last couple of episodes of series 2 are fucking amazing, particularly i think the penultimate episode? Top notch telly it is.

MY NAME IS MY NAME!!!

[bode]

about 1/2 way through season 4 now and im getting sad because i dont have that many more eps to watch

[will641]

about 1/2 way through season 4 now and im getting sad because i dont have that many more eps to watch

me too .

[wufwugy]

isnt season five already in dvd

[Deanglow]

season 2 is definitely the worst, but still very solid TV imo

[will641]

2 is slow but it picks up.

[zook]

+1

[BigPapi]

got S1 to 4 now, so will start watching this tomorrow

[a500lbgorilla]

Ive seen 0 episodes of the wire. Is the entire series on dvd?

Scale of 1-10, how much will I enjoy this show? Don't be a fanboy!

[WillburForce]

it's better than the Sopranos, which I never thought I'd say.

entire series is indeed on DVD. Go buy.

[bode]

i got the entire series from amazon for something ridiculous like $85 or something. idk if its still that cheap, but pick it up for sure rilla.

[wufwugy]

easy 10

just finished 4 and 2>4 imo.

easy 11. I THIS SHOW SO MUCH!1!1!

[a500lbgorilla]

went to best buy and stole 5 seasons of the wire, lets see how this goes

[thizzSantaCruz]

just finished 4 and 2>4 imo.

im watching it now too, im on season 2. IMO season 1>season 2. The acting was a little better, the project drug set up was really interesting, and a lot of the stuff is repeating from season 1.

[triumphant cracker]

The Shield is awesome all the way, the finale is one of the best I've seen on tv. I think I like The Shield better than The Wire overall, but then again they aren't really the same type of show other than both involving cops.

the sheild was great...best finale evar....

[will641]

i definitely agree with you there.

what i love most about the wire is how many great characters there are: bunk, mcnulty, OMAR COMING! so much diversity and so much greatness you can expect out of every character.

[wufwugy]

not sure if i agree about season 2. the main problem imo is that a theme of the show is 'changing it up', as well as david simon wanted to show five different aspects of baltimore corruption, and he chose each season to focus on each one.

how i see it, is that season 2 is just as good as the rest (actually they're all just as good as the others) except that it's hard for us to give up the trend of season 1 since it was first and we love it so much.

all i know is nicks gf in season 2 has amazing tits, and the chick marlo bangs in the van in season 4 is the hottest black chick ive seen

[WillburForce]

Just finished season 2. I loved it. not as much as the first, but it was still quality.

bring on series 3.

funny hearing McNulty do his English accent. Posh English Eton actor, doing Baltimore degenrate, doing posh English. good work! "What the fuck I do?" "Spot on"

Also Stringer is from London! Don't fuck withy the Hackney boyz....

[will641]

just finished the series. WOW! i really am not sure if i like this better than the sopranos. if the sopranos season 6 didnt suck so bad i would probably go with it.

[UG]

is this over or are the still making shows?

I just got Netflix and they've got seasons 1-5 online, it'd be easy to watch from my 360.

I'm not going to get a CD through the mail for this, damn

but yeah, fucking communism

[BigPapi]

watched S1 over the weekend. definitely quality series!

[kettleofish]

all i know is nicks gf in season 2 has amazing tits

QFT. Boobage at it's finest.

I'd do Beadie as well, altho I'm not sure why. And Mcnulty's ex-wife. And Kima. And D'Angelo's gf. And the stripper Lester ends up banging. And Perlman.

Not necessarily in that order, except for Perlman. She would be last.

so in other words you would fuck anything with 2 legs and a pussy?

[kettleofish]

I left a few out!

[wufwugy]

i would bang landsman because him impersonating jacking off is the hilariousest thing ever

UG, the series is completed and fail of epic if u do not rent it

also, if u dont love the show after this scene u r dead inside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQbsnSVM1zM

[drmcboy]

Netflix is awesome and at least in Columbus super quick. I can't tell if that's what your are worried about or not. TV DVDs have more minutes on them then most movies and the Wire is certainly as good as any movie you could watch except it's like they made 50 sequels.

[WillburForce]

i wouln't touch Perlman. eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!

[will641]

^^^^this. she is gross. she looks better in the later seasons, but in the first few she is butt ass ugly.

this is a great scene, but not as good as the one with stringer and avon in the warehouse in season 3.

"you know what the difference is between me and you string? i bleed red, you bleed green."

[wufwugy]

how come nobody's mentioned bubbs?

see thats the thing about the show, best character is tied with like at least four competitors. omar, bubs, bunk, string...

[WillburForce]

i'm starting series 3 tonight. yay.

[WillburForce]

OMG! Stringer got killed. I was hoping it was Avon that got got. Nearly finished series 3.

[Deanglow]
