Enjoy! I thought season 5 wasn't as good as the others but the finale was brilliant.

. It is a bit farcical, but love the media angle. Gus is just great.

I watched 2 episodes and really couldn't get into it.

I'm watching series 4 slower than the others to savour it.

So, I think my favourite was 2, it was very different, but I loved the docks stuff and thought that Frank Sobotka was such a good character. His little face!

You do have to stick with it, Margo - I actually didn't like it to start with, because it makes you work - doesn't give much away, doesn't explain v. much, so it seems confusing, and they speak so fast! But I kind of treat it like Shakespeare - love the language, don't understand it all, and the stories are brilliant. It's really worth another go.

Yes, I loved s2 as well.

Season 4 easily the best for me, though. The kids are amazing.

I think I would rank them 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 5

Was a sad/happy day in our house when we got to the last ep. Won't give anything away but a good ending I thought, I felt mostly satisfied by it! Enjoy!

Daniels' body is just amaaaazing. Like a well-oiled and very sexy robot or something.

nooOOOoonki · 24/10/2008 21:54

but that's way I can't fancy him - walks like a robot, and therefore, call Robotist but that is NOT sexy

Boco · 24/10/2008 22:08

I don't fancy him, i'm just .... amazed by his shiny tight ass.

I fancy Cutty though. Especially when he's first in it, and struggling to go straight and being a lawnmower. He's beautiful.

I've seen this mentioned a few times. I've looked at the description on Amazon. I'm a bit tempted to go the whole hog and preorder series 1-5 for £90ish - or I could just try series 1 for £15ish, then it won't matter too much if I hate it. My question is though, for those that love it, which other series do you like? For example I didn't watch 24 - couldn't get into it, but loved Lost.

Hmm.

4-3-1-5-2

I think.

I'm so glad MN has come around! Just saw someone on another thread called JimmyMcNulty.

Daniels is obscenely muscled.

This is one of those topics where the amount I have to say is just too big to come out.

Five comes lower because of the SK angle, it worked in the end but we were definitely a bit and Freamon had started to irritate us both slightly in his one-dimensionality by this point.

Having said that, I still absolutely loved Season 2, just not quite as much as the others.

There are some classic comedy moments in 5, off the top of my head, the Quantico profiling and Namond getting into the car.

And YES Boco I think Cutty is the sexiest character.

I think the best actor is Andre Royo (Bubbs). I well up just thinking about some of his scenes.

Oh, and I think Gus must be the David Simon character.
