kirsten Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm very late to this particular party. Only seen the first five episodes of the first series, but am already enjoying it immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Bodie was awesome though, he really was. Not sure about Ziggy though, although I like the guy he plays in Generation Kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 About half-way through Season 5 now and it's as great as ever. One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the writers' ability to keep creating characters who are deep, engaging and likeable, even in the final series. The boy Gus as the newspaper is quickly becoming one of my favourites, and it's been interesting to watch Daniels' rapid ascent through all five seasons.In the immortal words of Senator Clay Davis, SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT.

Paulscoconutass Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I've started back at season 1 and it's amazing how many major characters and storylines from the later seasons are introduced right at the start. Things like the board full of ties in the murder dep's office, the people in the drug re-hab meetings are constant throughout. Oh, and remember that fridge that cut out in Season 5 and they lost all the evidence... mentioned in S1 E3!All the details like these definitely make it one of the best shows ever aired.Picked up S1 of Homicide: Life on the streets at the weekend so can't wait to tuck into that after the Wire again.

I've watched all five seasons twice now and still would happily sit through them again. Once you know all the references (re-up, 5-oh, the different police depts, etc) you pick up a lot of the dialogue you missed the first time.Homicide is a complete change of pace but the writers/producers hallmarks are all there and it is still streaks ahead of other shows in it's genre. Detective Munch turns up in Wire season 5 playing the same character as in Homicide, it's a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome.Going to pick up 'the corner' on dvd this weekend too.The Corner is difficult stuff to watch in one sitting. It just really hit me a lot harder than any of the scenes involving the addicts in The Wire did. Brilliant stuff though. Seen/bought Generation Kill yet?

Christy Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've watched all five series' front to back three times now, and it's improved every time. The things that I missed the first time around, such as....***********SPOILER ALERT********************************************************************(wee Kennard, who ends up capping Omar, is the same kid who Bunk sees pretending to be Omar after the street gunfight in series three(?), the one where his female partner gets shot)Unbelievably good show. Generation Kill was magnificent too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just bought all 5 seasons on digitally versatile disc box sets. Had rubbish divx rips before so its nice seeing them stacked on the shelf. Am rewatching from the beginning for the third time. The second season is generally regarded as the weakest and I used to think so too but I have to say, I am getting a lot more out of it now I understand the workings of the docks and the seperations between Police depts. For example, the true significance of the bit where Sobotka speaks to Clay Davis at an event would have totally been lost on me the first, and possibly even the second time of watching. But I got exactly what was going on this time. So yeh, second season... just as good as the others.also, found this t-shirt site for the nerds. linkDont like most catchphrase/pop reference t-shrits and stuff but am very tempted by the clay davis one or the orlando's one.
