I'm in the middle of the 4th season by now. Took long enough but finally decided to watch it. And yes to no surprise, it's amazing. One of the best shows of all time. I can't say enough great things about it. Great acting/characters, writing, and just does a great job of displaying the Baltimore drug scenes from different points of views from the drug traffickers, people living in the neighborhoods, the police officers, the politicians, the schools, the press. They went in depth into everything and I thought it was set up so well. They even showed some nice views throughout Baltimore which I didn't think existed.

Overall great show. Avon is the GOAT and Clay Davis is hilarious. Looking forward to seeing how it ends. Love to hear yalls opinion.

Nothing will ever top it in terms of scale and scope.

Notes In A Criminal Conspiracy?

I remember being blown away when I heard Idris Elba speak for the first time. He was so convincing when I watched it the first time….that being said, rewatching it later I could definitely hear some British in season 1

Lester Freamon : We're building something here, detective. We're building it from scratch. All the pieces matter.

Was my second favorite season (I rank it higher than most).

Welcome to the club. Still is in the top spot as my #1 show of all time. It’s that good.

I gotta ask. Did McNulty hate Harbor Patrol or love it? Never could figure it out.

After watching it, do another run through The Office and see how many crossover in that show.

Be prepared for at least a little frustration during Season 5. One storyline, in particular, is not universally enjoyed by fans. However, I think it is well worth it to see all the storylines tie up and the finish is one of the best series finales ever.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I thought season 2 was very good.

I’ve been watching television since screens were B&W, 12” diagonal, and in a one hundred pound wooden box and The Wire is one of the best things to ever emanate from one.

How season 4 ended was so brutally realistic I still think about it sometimes.

Confession.


I've never seen it either.


At least I have something to look forward to.
