The Wire questions

quote:

---

1. Was Season 1 the best season? Is it all downhill from here?

---

No, Season 1 is not the best. Although, in my opinion, Season 2 is the weakest. Most people seem to regard Season 4 as the best (Season 3 is also outstanding).

2. Are the other seasons about McNulty and the same characters or is each season about different people?

---

McNulty takes a back seat in Season 4, but each season introduces new characters (the dockworkers in Season 2, Bunny Colvin in Season 3, the kids in season 4, and the newspaper writers in season 5) who each take up a good chunk of the story.

3. Should I watch them all in order, or are certain seasons better than others and some are just not worth watching? Do they all have to do with each other or is each season seperate from each other?

---

Watch them in order. Each season is separate, but they do revisit storylines from previous seasons (especially in season 5). Every episode is worth watching. Even the worst episode of The Wire is better than 98% of anything else on TV.

Season 3 is probably my favorite. All seasons are great though and you should definitely watch them in order.

They're all outstanding. There was never a weak episode IMO, although I agree with those who say that Season 2 was the weakest. It was still great TV, though. Just not as good as the other 4 seasons.

Watch the seasons in order. Each season assumes a knowledge of what went on before.
