Best thread bump of all time. And always will be.
Television The Wire
- Thread starter VanNistelrater
- Start date
I think it's a solid four years now since I last rewatched it so I better start again soon.
Jammy bastard.
Took me the longest time to figure out that Snoop was a girl.
It just isn't available over here. I checked all the rental stores to watch it with the wife and nothing. I finally bought a decent tablet so that's my train to work sorted for a couple of months.
Almost finished it for a 2nd time. Its brilliant.
Do yourself a favor and get started ASAP, then do us a favor and report back here to let us know what you think. We will be living vicariously through you, so you'll be doing important work.
Though be careful of spoilers, our replies to you won't contain any at least - we will look after you!
It's on a par with the RAWK Meltdown thread, @marukomu.
Apart from the bits where idiots start talking about Liverpool's squad, tactics, etc, and spoil the fun.
Really glad it wasn't just me.
Nope, me too.
The only character I couldn't understand either.....
Think it was only when I watched the DVD extras I realised she was a girl.
Jimmy is 100% spot on.Me too. When she walked into Butchie's bar and they wouldn't serve her and someone referred to her as a little girl when she walked out, I thought they were taking the piss.
It was only later on I realised she was a girl.
Her true life story is quite sad, although she did turn things around. Her book about her life is well worth a read.
She wrote that book like a muthafecka.
Ah, here it is.
These are for you...
I'm halfway through season 5. 2 episodes or so a day for the past 6 weeks. I've really enjoyed it to the point where I felt gutted when certain characters got killed. I'll definiotely watch it again in future.
I thought it was better on the second watch as you had less to remember so you picked up other things in the background.
You started yet?
Starting it for the first time this weekend.
You lucky cat.
Nah, I've way too many shows I haven't watched to catch up on first. I will eventually. Also need to rewatch The Sopranos as it's even longer since I saw that.
Oooof you're in for a treat.
I wish I could completely erase it from my mind and do the same.
We recently finished a rewatch of The Sopranos and I was planning on this being next but I think it's going to be the West Wing first.
Such a great script by Sorkin
I probably enjoyed the Wire more on the second viewing. Never truly appreciated how good season 2 was the first time i watched it.
Still haven’t seen The Sopranos yet, I need to get on that too.
Rewatching it and loving it possibly even more than last time. Finished season 1 last night and hopefully I will enjoy season 2 as first time around I found it a bit of a struggle as I found it pretty boring.
Every Wire fan will tell you S2 is much better the 2nd time around, just like your 2nd time...
It's good but still the weakest season thanks to fecking Ziggy the worst character of all
He's quite good at being a plonker.
Perhaps and I know some people will say they like him to be different that's expected.
There is a reason however that the vast majority of any poll for worst character on the show has him as number one .
He was just too annoying and the guy who played him over acted too much .
The rest of the characters that season were good and it was an interesting break from what we were used too.
Season 2 is easily the best season.
I liked the scene with the boobs. Those where nice boobs...hmmmm, I feel like Homer.
The Wire also proves that Littlefinger is in everything, ever.

HBO draws from the same pool of actors. Bodie has been in every crime drama that requires a young black male.
Ziggy is a good character, he's meant to be a feckup, and the end of his story shows how damaged he is.
The worst character is probably brother Muzone, but I even kinda like him.
