A few notes:4. Bubbles has a lot of heart.
S2 starts a bit slow as new characters are introduced and old characters reminisce on the events of S1, but once things get going it's amazing.
Indeed, one of the best. I remember hearing BET completely cut the docks scenes out of their broadcast of S2. Pretty pathetic. Those scenes speak beyond race

Season 2 is always the most divisive season. Some people hate it. Some people love it. Some people don't quite understand it. It's definitely the most "unusual" season which is a good thing or a bad thing depending on the person.

My taste in each Season is coming into focus and I'm feeling that it goes as such 2>1>3>4>5 . There's been a large gap between watching seasons 1,2,3 and 4 and 5 though. I didn't really care for the one aspect they focused on in 4 and Season 5 sort of focused on an aspect thats even more contrived. I just wanted them to go back to busting gangsters.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way about S4. I agree, I also felt 1-3 > 4. We're clearly in the minority, though, it seems.
Season 4 is by far the best. It's the best written season (they take several smaller characters and do them justice) and it casts a wide net and manages to haul in most of what it is going for. Season 2 is second, but the thing is, the:bow S4Are uninteresting and uninspired. They don't really fit into the whole thing and they are written that way. The abrupt shift from 1 to 2 was perhaps the ballsiest decision on television, ever.spoiler (click to show/hide)shadowy greeks[close]

One of the best scenes in the whole gawdamned series. :bow :bow2
smh, Himuro.
You're totally going to be one of them who says S4 is the best. ::)
I'd bet Himu will say S4 is the best. Which isn't a bad thing. It definitely resonated with me quite hard, and I think it'll do the same for yousame here
If you like The Wire you gotta read the NYer profile (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/10/22/071022fa_fact_talbot?currentPage=all) of David Simon. It's got some absolutely choice anecdotes.

Its really crazy. Shows don't usually peak so late into their run. Especially ones that hinged on a single concept (a wiretap investigation). I was worried initially the show would keep reusing that idea and it does for the second season but they get around that by drastically changing up the targets and tone of the story.
And here we have season 4 where an investigation isn't even the lead story. Instead it tackles education and politics. And somehow, someway it never crashes and burns. How'd they manage to place the focal point of the story on a bunch of child actors and have it not suck? Not only the fact that its a story about a bunch of kids but a multi tiered story that never feels fake. Its such a ballsy move taking Jim McNulty who would be considered the "main character" to anymone watching the first and second season and put him in the back then replace him with a collection of youths. And yet it works.

A fictional character who's gotta go! It's tv! Let me have my wish fulfillment! In my ideal world, cops like that get offed. LEMME DREAMThe Wire doesn't take place in your ideal world.
Him, Carter (Carver?) and that other shitty black cop at Western District who handles people any fucking way he wants. All of them need to be capped - in the head - by Marlow and crew by the end of the season or I will be pissed.

Himu wants the Wire to be an anime set in futuristic tokyo where an elite squadron of robotic dick-girl cops set up hidden cameras in highschool locker rooms for upskirt shots.

....do you know what show you're watching, Himu? smh
Out of ALL the characters on the show, you think the "worst" one (morally, we presume) is a cop who has, admittedly, beaten on some people, and, through stupidity, incompetence, and insensitivity, has sabotaged investigations and put a kid's life at risk?
As opposed to, say....the cold-hearted motherfuckers who order the cold-blooded murders of anyone brave enough to bear witness to a crime?
Or Stringer Bell ordering the contract killing of Dee, just because he thinks Dee might snitch, and so he can pork Dee's baby momma?
Your moral compass is all kinds of fucked up, Himumu. :-\

:lol Not exactly. I just want the good cops to stop backing the shitty cops (Herc, Carv).
Yeah, you're going to hate season 5 :lol

if you can't recognize the developing maturity of Carver throughout the latter seasons.....
But Herc...:lol I'm mixed on the guy. Sometimes I'm rooting for him so he doesn't fuck up. But then he fucks up :lol
I never found him to be annoying.
:rofl
Finally, since Herc's fuck ups caught up to him, I'm satisfied.

That's okay; he turns out to be a pretty BA Recon Marine later.

What a shame it didn't win and didn't get nominated for anything. I wonder if the Emmy folks didn't feel the show was flashy enough, or maybe Simon was such an asshole they didn't want to give him anything :lol
I don't know what to say man. This is worse than Bodie.
spoiler (click to show/hide)KENARD? FUCKING KENARD?? at least Bodie got to go down like a MAN. Defending is corner like a SOLDIER. Omar went down buying some smokes. Man.[close]
