The Wire is finally old enough to drink alcohol legally. Congrats!

I wish all of the seasons would have been in the pit or at least on the corners. The further they got away from that the more the show declined. Still a great series though.

I didn't have HBO at the time. I'm glad I didn't, because I binged the whole thing on Prime over a few weeks.



Watched it the same way again when I first got MAX.

That Ziggy account you linked has been posting moments from the show over the last week or two leading up to today.

Has some great ones. I love when Snoop goes to buy the new nail gun.

Doing probably my 4th rewatch and just watched that episode. Great scene.

Man, the story arc of Dookie is tough, even though I know it's coming.

Great timing as I’m presently on like the 3rd rewatch.

The 2nd season…the first watch I didn’t care for it. Second watch I was ambivalent. Now I am actually really liking it. Loaded with great moments.

The ending to the second to last episode of season 2 is so powerful

I have tried watching this series at least 10 different times over the past years and I just can’t watch past the first few episodes of season 1

I know it’s suppose to be amazing but I just don’t see it. The same with the Sopranos

It’s frustrating because I truly do want to like this because everybody tells me how amazing this show was

The wire is both exceptional and exceptionally overrated
