I just finished Season 2. I think it's ok, and I will finish watching all of the seasons. It's a little surprising to me how much love this show gets.

It gets mentioned with shows like The Sopranos, and I don't think it's anywhere near as good as The Sopranos. Not even remotely close.

I'll DIAF now.

Not many people were calling the Sopranos the best show ever after just 2 seasons either. S3 and 4 of the Wire are most people’s favorites.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how shitty and ill-conceived it might be, because to quote Snot Boogie's known associate "This America, man."

Holy shite there’s a frick pile of people I recognize from later shows.


Its kind of crazy how much heat those actors got from being in the Wire. They are all pretty damn good actors.

Wire thread pop up- all the usual characters show up

Just finished my 5th rewatch last month or so. My favorite show ever.

Sooo many characters to love and hate

my siblings think it is too slow and boring

Your siblings are correct.

Tried watching the first episode of Season 3 tonight. Made it about 10 minutes and shut it off. I'm having to force myself to watch this.

We could not make it through all of season one. This show has been the biggest head scratcher in all of TV for me.

Yea, it’s not that good. In fact, this show is played up way too hard on here

Damn, y’all are some assholes for talking about major arse spoilers in a thread where the OP is watching for the first time and only in season 1. Jesus.
