HBO's The Wire

[Brian]

Any feedback on this show? Heard it was pretty good, and HBO just re-broadcast it in HD for the first time, managed to get all the episodes recorded.

We don't watch as much TV as some do, and I keep hearing about all these great series out there that we've missed and need to watch. Trying to figure out where to rank this one. Mad Men is another contender.

It's a really great show. It took me three solid tries to get it started, though. There are a lot of characters and moving parts right from the start. Totally worth it when it finally clicked.

It's funny that you should ask. I literally just finished the third season. It's really great. The writing and acting is absolutely amazing. All kinds of great characters.

A friend at work says it's great, and even brought me in all the seasons on DVD. A lot of people from The Wire have shown up on the Walking Dead.

There's currently 3 actors from The Wire on Walking Dead. Rumor has it that there will be more.

Watch it all....... You'll get the pun.

The Wire puts Breaking Bad to shame. It starts slow, building up each season. The guy who plays Garcetti [spck] appears on GOT. A good show that IMO shows the futility of the WOD.

Definitely. For the record, Uncle Frank > Uncle Hank

It's awesome, watch it, you wont regret it. I was at a Nuggets game about 6 years ago when the show was still on and the entire cast was there in a suite. Something to do with Carmelo Anthony because he is from Baltimore and apparently a superfan of the show.

Anyway we waited outside their suite stalker style at the end of the game and got to meet most of the cast. Everyone was really nice, talked to Omar for about 10 minutes while Marlo was hitting on one of my wife's friends. Bubbles was super cool too.

Great show, like everyone says. You really have to listen to the dialogue because there are dozens of names and clues dropped in seasons 1-3 that begin to play out and emerge in 3 going forward. Great writers and acting.
