Mr. Brightside Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I hated Stringer Bell. Bodie and Slim Charles are the boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggy Wallace Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Im on season 3 episode 10. It's just ridiculously good. It's literally flawless in my opinion. It doesn't let up at all aswell. I am preapred to be dissapointed with every series i watch after this. Fav charachter was deangelo, or bubbles and ziggy. Only charachter that hasn't been that good is brother mouzone. All the charachters are superb though. And i defy everyone who says they would not like to be stringer bell. Everyone wants to be gangster do they not. fav scene. Gets my heart beating. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=YrSy9r0-lMg It is indeed flawless. Watch Louis Theroux 'Kiladeplphia' on youtube, it is the real life wire and it just hits home how realistic the show is. phenomenal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've finished season one and I've now managed to fire through the first four episodes of season two. I was slow to get in to it but by mid-season one I was hooked. The police politics and the depth of the show makes for fantastic viewing. I'm a fan of Stringer Bell but - and I probably shouldn't admit to this - I really like Rawls and Landsman. Rawls is a total c**t but a good c**t in my book, whereas Landsman hits some funny lines. I'm looking forward to see how this season develops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Season 1 was great but season 2 (after a period of adjustment because it's quite different from season1) and season 4 are the best ones. Season 5 is the poorest. I don't have a problem with the newspaper guys but the way they link it up to the police via the McNulty story line and the way that story line is resolved is pretty poor. You'd think they would have thought of a better way to examine press ethics given the amount of political corruption that goes on in the series. Oh and I hate Stringer. He's a scumbag. It's no accident that the 'gangster' Avon is a better man than the 'money man' Stringer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've just finished episode 10 of season 3. I didn't really like season two that much, sure it had some highlights but overall it just felt a bit underwhelming. I'm enjoying season three. Carcetti, Dennis and Colvin are good characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've just gotten through the first three seasons and i'm 3 episodes in to season 4! Was it initially supposed to run in to a 4th and 5th series? With what happens in the final two episodes of season 3 it seems to wrap everything up regarding them looking to take down the Barksdale empire! Can't take to this Marlo guy quite yet. Favourite characters through the first three seasons are Stringer, Herc and Bubbles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I just finished watching the wire and rate it up there with some of the best TV I've seen. Fav series was probably the first one. Rawles was my favourite character early on and while he was meant to be the chain of command asshole, they gave him some great scenes, like where he takes command of the crime scene after the undercover op goes wrong. Sadly he wasn't involved much in the later series. However we got Clay Davis in his place who is prob my favourite ever TV character. What a brilliant slimeball, swindling everyone, even the grand jury XD. His court scenes were immense and the way he's goin mental at people one second, then charming the f**k outta the press the next was great. And he has the best catchphrase of all time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm rewatching this with my brother (his first viewing of The Wire). A second viewing is making me appreciate it even more, and I already thought it was the best thing made on TV. So much appreciation for so many characters. Theresa D'Agostino, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm rewatching this with my brother (his first viewing of The Wire). A second viewing is making me appreciate it even more, and I already thought it was the best thing made on TV. So much appreciation for so many characters. Theresa D'Agostino, eh? I've watched it fully 3 times now and you pick up wee things that you completely missed the first time round. It truly is the greatest thing ever made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotlandGer Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The Wire is the best, no question about it. I had heard good things about it before it was on the BBC who put on a few per night a wee while ago. I remember being slightly underwhelmed at first and I struggled to adjust to the Baltimore accents. I could tell there was some potential so decided to stick with it, and was hooked about after the first couple of episodes - to the extent that I ended up buying the box-sets so I could watch them all ahead of the BBC. The best series for me is Series 4. Series 2 was the second best. So tough to choose - the Dickensian aspect of them all. Stringer and Omar were brilliant characters as well as Dookie. I think my favourites, though, were Chris and Snoop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff14 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Amazon are doing the box set for 42 quid just now, pretty good value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I got to about the 4th or so episode(Daniels shagged Rhonda Pearlman in the last one I watched) in season 3, and then lost the enthusiasm to watch it. Season 2 started well, but it just tailed off massively imo, the way it ended just felt so unrewarding as a viewer. Season 3 just seems to be awful in the first few episodes, tbh. Will pick it back up after giving it an extended break. What? Are you actually a real human being? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 To be fair, whilst most people have season two as the best season or up there anyway. I also found it the least enjoyable season. That said, it wasnt bad enough for me to stop watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Season 2 is easily the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Most people don't think 2 is the best season. I fucking loved it, it's been a while since I watched the series though so I don't think I could safely say which was my favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
