The Wire

[ERCougar]

I'm intrigued but I'm not sure if I should plan on watching this with my wife or on my own. How edgy is it?

[MarkGrace]

Yeah, how about that one? I haven't finished the season!

[Colly Wolly]

How about the scene at the end of season one when they have Weebay in custody and they are feeding him food as he gives them case after case of unresolved murders? Hilarious.

[MarkGrace]

Ah, I forgot another great one.

- Stringer Bell in his macroecon class then yelling at his guys about product elasticity

[MarkGrace]

Three favorite scenes so far.

- D teaching the boys how to play chess in the courtyard as a metaphor for the drug game

- Bunk and McNulty doing that investigation where they are using nothing but some variation on the f-bomb. Hysterical.

- Omar punking those two dudes in the alley and then yelling out "you come at the king, you best not miss!"

I read that Berkeley is offering a semester long course on The Wire. That would be fun. Much better than the boring ass Int'l Bus Transactions course I'm sitting in right now.

I started on this show in early 2007 and have watched the first four seasons. The fourth season was the best season of any TV show ever. The thing is, I have little doubt that Baltimore, NO, Detroit and possibly Philly really are as corrupt as the show portrays.

Don't sleep on Baltimore. Those that can't handle the streets of B-Town move to SE DC. Nuff said

There are roads in Baltimore that I wouldn't drive down in a tank.

Maybe I like The Wire because it makes me feel better about where we live.

I put this show in the Netflix qeue and haven't looked back. It took a little while for the wife to get over the swearing and violence, but she is as hooked as I am. We are currently in the middle of season 2.

This show is some of the the best television I have ever seen. It has it all. Great story, clever and funny writing, great charaters. It's fantastic. I highly recommend getting into it.

By the way, this board is great.

I am fully invested. Stayed up until 2am watching last night. Un-freakin-real.

easily the best written show of all time. it is a great crime drama but more than that, it is about the slow agonizing death of inner city america.

I just bought 4 seasons of the wire at circuit citys going out of business sale for 20 each.
