The Wire

[DomesticG0ddess]

My husband and I discovered this at Xmas after getting Season 1 DVD from his elderly uncle (how cool is said elderly uncle) and we are completely addicted. We're on Season 4 now - anyone else addicted too?

my ds loves jessica!!! more than i love the wire!!

Who's jessica??
I must confess I wasn't aware there were tv progs with the Gormiti... I boycott Italian tv as a form of protest against Berlusconi

jessica is the girl one!! ds has all the lords of nature figures! i would have all the wire figs if i could!!!

must go however shall we meet up again and quote ourselves silly!

ooh have u seen greys anatomy?

I'll leave you with a "Even if I miss, I can't miss" mehdismummy...

I'm afraid I've never got into Grey's anatomy, mostly because I found all the characters very irritating after 2 mins I started watching.
I was an ER fan.

it was all about george clooney!!!

hope to catch up with you again

Oh no, it was more than just GC (though George's appeal was undeniable )

Ahh.. Omar in his PJ's, that was super funny. And I know it was not something you should laugh at, but when some of Avon's guys took a pop at Omar and his granny when they were leaving church, and they knocked her hat off (did they call it a crown or something), and they kept going on about it because the "code" says you're not supposed to shoot on a Sunday. So good.

Oh that's one of my fav scenes Domestic! Omar is enraged, and tells Kimmy and Dante that his grandma thinks he works in a cafeteria

Oh yes, at the airport, because he knows she never goes to the airport! I couldn't do the lists last night because we had to watch Episode 11, Season 4!!!!

I had to close computer quickly before my OH saw what I was doing.

yes, at the airport

Season 4 is amazing.

I love how Omar won't wear a suit for his court appearance but does to take his granny to church. Looks good in it too.
I think season 3 may be my favourite to date, I liked that whole 9/11 Gulf war metaphor going on, and the Hamsterdam thing, plus there was a element of humour. Season 4 was brilliant but very traumatic.

Lots of humour in season 5, dark humour, of course.

I think my favourite season has been season 4, followed by season 2.

It is difficult to say. I am finding there is more violence in Season 4, I am covering my eyes more (can't watch violent things). Find all the politics so interesting, if infuriating!!!

Yes, there is some shocking violence in season 4. Still, I think it's the most "complete" series, even the shocking violence is never gratuitous. I loved it all (and those boys are amazing actors)

I found the whole school/kids theme in season 4 pretty harrowing and thought 5 was a bit silly in parts. Probably fave series are 1 and 3. Initially was a bit pissed off with all the new characters and plotlines in 2, and yearned for more Avon, but it grew on me actually. What's the name of the book-reading gangster who comes in from New York and forms an unlikely bond with Omar after getting shot by him?

Ooh Franca, I liked seasons 2 and 4 best too. I loved frank sabotka, and loved the corner boys.

5 was really disapointing, they seemed to really lose it.

That's Brother Mouzone (loved him!)

Oooooh Boco (hello!)

I was very disappointed with Season 5 to begin with, but I found that it started to make sense at the end (plus, I think it's quite humorous, especially when they take the piss out of CSI )

It was so tense every time Brother Mouzone and Omar were together, I just thought one of them would turn round and shoot the other!!

(Franca hello! I love a wire thread, and a wire thread with franca on it even better)

Yo Boco! You are making me

I'm so relieved this thread has been started, as I said earlier, dh is starting to get irritated by my wire addiction (despite the fact that he's adopted a ghetto slang). And no one else watched it here in Italy ()

for you domestic

Have to go and get the children from school, see you later!

Great clips on youtube! It's "all in the game" is a great phrase - sums up quite a lot about life , like so many lines in the Wire!
