never seen it?

 

thats 2 of us

 

starts a new run from the beginning on sky atlantic, friday

I know there are a few gridiron fans on here but it is another top show to set the sky+ box for

 

We have got them down to just a handful now & hopefully will have driven the last of the wannabe Yanks away soon.

...and the Plantpot of the Year award goes to..................................

I'd have to concur that 'The Wire' is the best TV i've ever seen.

 

Don't usually buy box sets, but got the first series of this, and felt the need to buy them all. (Sorry Garrp but it blows Sopranos away)

 

Enjoying Dexter at the moment (series 3)

I got The Wire eventually. Great tv.

 

Season 2 of The Sopranos and I'm still none the wiser

 

Big fan of Dexter. Season 4 (Trinity killer) is brilliant

All together now....

 

Dexter S6, load of shit. You can't accuse any of the other major players of that.

Just started Season 3 of The Sopranos - I like it a lot but still don't think it's quite as good as everybody made out.

 

Started watching the Wire - turned off after half an hour, but on the strength of what a few of you have said, I'll give it another go.

 

Also hooked on Breaking Bad and Weeds, which is fitting as they're both based on drugs.

 

Dexter - watched 4 episodes, decided it's not for me.

 

Entourage - downloaded and watched half of first episode.

Follow the advice of the WWays illuminati like I did BCG. You need to get through 1.5 episodes before it grips you and it never lets go after that. I am probably only a few months away from watching the whole thing again.

 

Rarely have I seen anything so brilliantly acted with a plot line which is chilling, compelling and downright addictive.

Breaking Bad is up there with the best I'd say.

Anyone starting tonight, I'd recommend subtitles until you get used to the dialogue/accents. Especially of the dealers/hoppers etc.

 

I'm going to be switching on for a 're-up' tonight.

'The Wire' is worth watching if you're prepared to suspend your disbelief throughout, but it's massively overrated in my opinion. If you want to watch something that's genuinely brilliant, check out 'Mad Men'.

Fuzzy dunlop - best character in the series, by far!

Eh? As opposed to Lost or Prison Break?

I think you might be one of them.

The Wire is Shakespeare for the modern age. Quite simply.

It's beautifully crafted and full of more gore and horror than any Hollywood blockbuster.

I bought the box-set last year and had to wean myself down to two episodes per night.

The best part of the "The Wire" is when things start to dovetail into place in the latter part of series 3 and 4 when it all begins to make sense, and characters from the past pop up again and again.

There are one or two truly shocking moments, but I won't spoil it for the newbies.

It is worth investing time and patience in this series.

The Wire's supposed to be a realistic portrayal of life on the streets isn't it? At least that's what the writer thinks. You shouldn't really have to suspend your disbelief if that's the case.

It's a good yarn but that's about it. Wooden acting, clunky script and a plot which has more holes than a tramps vest.

"Fuuuccccckkk"

Quality program and better than the Sopranos in my opinion, Well worth a watch if you have not seen it

There's always one. Like most on here, I had my doubts about you. This has confirmed it.

Bit of The Wire trivia.

 

Snoop is so good at playing her part of being a hit (wo)man because...... That was her day job before getting the part.

 

She reckons the role saved her life.

Pity it didn't save the life of the woman she murdered...

 

She's a better actor than Dominic 'Scenery Chewer' West though, i'll give her that.

Is that the best you can do son? Like being thrashed with a lace doyley.

I Like being thrashed with a lace doyley.

 

Kinky bastard.

True but not for lace doyleys
