> there is no fat on this show.
I love The Wire as much as anyone, but I don't see how you can say we needed to see another of Bubs' sidekicks self destruct.

Once, a man pressed a package of heroin into the hands of Andre Royo, the actor who plays the sympathetic junkie and police informant Bubbles, saying, “Man, you need a fix more than I do.” Royo refers to that moment as his “street Oscar.”

I don't even see the point of running a feature like that 2 and a half months before the season starts.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 15 October 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
this part is pure b.s.:
Sometimes the fan base of “The Wire” seems like the demographics of many American cities—mainly the urban poor and the affluent élite, with the middle class hollowed out.

that teaser fucking stings because it feels like it's talking about actual local headlines as much as the show. i think the current murder rate is putting anything ever depicted in The Wire to shame.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 9 November 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I just finished season 3, and I figured I'd just wait for the DVDs. Also my wife wants to catch up, and she just finished season 1.
― Hurting 2, Friday, 9 November 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
o u poor bastards (but on the other hand u have so much enjoyment to look forward to)
― jhøshea, Friday, 9 November 2007 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
and uh learn torrents ffs
Nothing has outdone S1 for me so far, but I think that's partly just that you can't recapture that first thrill of "OMG I have never seen any show like this." Still, S3 was at times as good as S1. S2 was a slight letdown but still miles better than anything else.

My wife is actually almost done reading The Corner, which from what she's told me is considerably grimmer and grittier than The Wire.
they just took hbo offa my stolen cable so now im totes torrent dependent
― jhøshea, Friday, 9 November 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link
season 4 was the best imo - but i kinda just love them all in their own way
the corner mini series is wicked sweet too - and yeah way more gritty/realistic

Picking a favorite season is like picking your favourite childe. Except season 1 is the adopted one.

Anyone who doesn't think S1 is the best is nutty.
― milo z, Friday, 9 November 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I love the way in S1 every scene was "NEW INFORMATION! NEW INFORMATION! DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID? DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU CATCH THAT?"

s4 is the best cause the scope is the widest and the kids break a heart. s1 is so awes but basically just a cop show (plus there's some def growing pains there)

The sole factor in determining the quality of art is how many LOLs it has.
