The Wire. I know it's not the right section and I know I've come late to this programme...

Do you know I wish I could watch it for thwe first time all over again.

Series 4 is the best IMHO. Watch it with the subtitles on if you are getting lost. It's really worth it, althougfh I though series 2 was a bit more hard going (FIL and MIL thought it was the best though.

Each series is set in a different area of Baltimore. Series 3 is set in the schools' system and the kids are wicked.

Take your time with it ProfessorCalculus - it does take a while. It kind of creeps up on you and then takes over your mind....

A lot of the time I can't keep up with what's going on. Either they mumble a lot or speak too fast or I'm just plain dim
So I find myself drifting away and then getting more and more lost.

I can't see telly adults so I just shoved it in here. Sorry.

But, more to the point. How can you not love it?

I'm in the middle of series one and I'm not loving it yet. What am I missing? And why adult fiction and not telly addicts?

Is each series a major investigation?

All five series are wicked. I think number 3 was the best.... Might have to start watching them all again now!

I know.It's weird. It's as if I've met a whole bunch of real people who I want to know all about. The criminals too.

You have SO MUCH good stuff to come. It's completely addictive and you find yourself thinking of it when you aren't watching it!

OH MY GOD! The best programme I've ever seen on television. It's even better than The Sopranos and I'm a huge, and quite obsessive fan of that too). What series are you on?
