Official The Wire Thread

The Wire is to me the best tv show i have ever seen, i feel like their are quite a few people on ants that have watched it so i thought i'd make this thread. So drop some favorite characters, scene, or season.

    I was a late to the Wire. I only started watching this past fall, but my mind has been blown on how good the show is. Its just a masterpiece. It is up there with the Band of Brothers for the best thing I have ever seen made for TV.

    I like Bunk. I like any scene in which Bunk and Omar interact. I like Season 4.

    when season 4 first premiered was when i started watching it when it first aired and after seeing all of the seasons 2 times (going on my third go round right now) season 4 has to be my favorite just the way the four middle school kids change throughout the season i thought was done so well.

    I was gonna say, thought there was already a thread for this. But the best show in the history of television is allowed multiple threads.

    Fave character- Omar
    Runner-up - Probably McNulty or Bunk
    Underrated- Bodie
    Fave scene- Bunk and Omar at train station talking about how things used to be
    Runner-up - Stringer and Avon rooftop scene season 3
    Best season - all of them
    Fave season - four

    God I love this fucking show. Watched it beginning to end 3 times, about to start it again for #4.

    Just started watching this, mainly when I am sitting in airports, so I get an episode or two a week. Loving what I am seeing so far. Cannot wait to keep watching.

    Can't go wrong with Bubbles. His story at the end of season 4 was heartbreaking.

    Just a warning, it might take you a few episodes to get into it. It's far removed from a typical drama sitcom where plots are introduced and resolved in an hour episode. The Wire has multiple plots and subplots going on througout the series and they progress along in each episode. To fully enjoy it, I'd recommend watching it without being on the computer/interwebz etc, or else you'll miss lots of small things what will matter in later seasons.
