Originally posted by Sullyute View PostI am actually finishing up the series right now with one episode left. I have really enjoyed it and loved the character development thru out the series. The characters are very compelling with flashes of good and bad in everyone. There is a lot of swearing... and I mean a lot. I almost didn't make it thru the first few episodes because of it, but glad that I did. The 5th season is not as good as the others. I would rank them from best to worst as follows: 2nd, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 5th.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

The Wire:
The other day I was interested in some of the characters of The Wire. Curious to see if they had doen any other work since many of them seemed to not be your typical actor. Sure enough, a few of them are real-time gangsta's.. The chick Snoop (Which is actually her real nickname) did time for murder and was a drug dealer. Got out and changed her life some and opened up a foundation. Omar introduced her to the show.. Unfortunately, she also was busted for selling again. She was born and raised in B-more..

The character of Omar is based off a real life "Robinhood" of B-More. In fact Ed Burns (Not to confuse with Edward Burns of SPR) was the guy who arrested him back when he was a Homicide detective for B-more.
Just finished episode 3 of season 5.. Things about to get real interesting I believe...

Netflix used to be the clear frontrunner, but Amazon Prime makes a compelling case with the HBO shows (and actually the Cinemax shows Strike Back and Banshee are also available) and a couple good original shows.
Netflix, overall, still has the better original shows between Orange is the New Black and Daredevil. Bloodline wasn't terrible. Netflix also carries the AMC/Sundance shows and Rectify is definitely worth a watch. Sundance recently had Deutschland 83, which was excellent, and that will eventually make its way to Netflix.
