The Wire: Greatest TV Masterpiece of All Time - any other fans?

[Molesworth]

Anyone?

We're halfway through season 2, and I truly believe it's the best thing I've ever seen on TV

Thank you Charlie Brooker for raving on about it else I would never have discovered it!

Never heard of it? What channel?
What's it about?

Mind you if it's season 2 ......

it's on some weirdy channel like FX (which I haven't got) so I'm watching it on DVD

V V V HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

i really like it watched the first series then missed most of the rest, must get dvds, now watching current series.

reminds me of Homicide and Oz which were favourites

yay another fan!

it's not a show you can dip in and out of is it?

very much like a novel

favourite character = Omar

very very funnyin he's got a code!

really must get back to the start soon all that union business was riveting

I'm on episode 8 of season 2, so I don't know what happens at all in seasons 3 & 4, apart from the overall themes are reform and education

LOVING season 2's union stuff though

riveting

i am a tad forgetful of those early series but well worth revisiting whenever i get the time, i think the themes keep running anyway but the emphasis moves from character to character which is fantastic. also like to see british actors doing well there.

not forgetting the brilliant theme tune
geek bit - has a different arrangement for each series

Yep, I've watched season 1 twice now and when you watch again you notice a wealth of detail that you miss first time.

Loving the theme tune variations too

And have big crush on dominic west

ME!!!

Started watching series 3, bought 1 and 2 on DVD then watched 3 again and saw so much more detail that time.

Have several episodes of series 4 Sky+ waiting for me to watch.

It is fantastic.

And Carver is my favourite...

I am planning a Wire night tonight - 3 episodes in one hit ... bliss
