3 episodes in on my first ever watch though. Was a bit nonplussed on episode one but 2 and 3 is putting things in place now that ensures I'm looking forward to watching / bingeing more.

Just got sad when I remembered that we've lost Michael K. Williams and Lance Reddick within the last few years

Just watched it for the first time. Pretty good indeed.
I had no idea he had passed away, this makes me sad
Better first time than never.
Started a rewatch, only 4 episodes in but loving it all over again.
7 episodes into my first watch. T’is good.
Was a little nonplussed after the first 2 episodes as I’m not sure I’m a fan of Dominic West but I’ve hit the ‘next episode’ button 3 times so far tonight instead of doing my washing and cleaning.

Holy sh*t season 2 is good.
Wait, you're doing The Wire wrong! You're supposed to dislike season 2 the first time you watch it and then come back later and say that it's actually good!

Not far enough in yet to have made a decision about him yet dude but he’s seems to be in a spot of bother at this point

I didn’t realize just how good this show was until season 2. And I was initially disturbed by the shift to the dockworkers.
Wait till you get to season 3..
Season two is great of course but on the first watch you're fiending for more of the major crimes / streets / Omar / Barksdale stuff but get completely different characters and environment. Throws you off a bit.

He is a bit of a ledgend that's for sure
I'm really enjoying the change in scene from projects to docks.
Poor Frank

Bunk and Lester interviewing the ship guys in Philly always cracks me up.
Mishi-gishi-gushi-gushi-mishi-mishi-mushi motherfecker!

Opening scene… Dominic West? Didn’t know he was in it

What the feck did he do?
Not sure if mentioned before but there's a Way Down in the Hole podcast by Jemele Hill and Van Lathan. Decent enough, sometimes their yelling and overall enthusiasm can be bit too much but most of the time their analyses are spot on and interesting.
Who are either of those people?
The woman is Jemele Hill and the man is Van Lathan.
I think they're quite known in the US, sports reporters and journos, ESPN, TMZ, etc
