Anyone watching "The Wire" on HBO?

[tec699]

It's a 1 hour show that is shown on Sunday nights. I don't watch tv but this show has got me hooked! I'd suggest to anyone that is looking for a Soprano's replacement to give the show a shot.

Last Sunday was pretty exciting with Ziggy shooting a member from the Greek mob. And what about the inner city gangs? You got some Farakhan wannabe taking over the projects.

The Wire

 

It's not a bad show. Better than most of the crap on network TV. The next season starts soon. HBO kicks ass

Yea. I absolutely hate tv. The only show that I watched was the Simpsons as everything else stinks. All of those reality shows are junk. Everyone! I'd rather play a couple hours of UT2K4 or a great single player game then sit thru a hour of the junk that is out on tv.

I always get this one confused with 'The Grid'...don't know why since they're completely different, but I can't remember which one's the counterterrorist one and which one is counter-gang violence.

I was in an episode. I was at the Ritz club in Baltimore where the strippers and drugs are filmed. So I guess qualifies as watching it.

The Grid is the one with the guy from The Practice and the chick from ER. The Wire is a bunch of unknowns.

I'm a little sad that "the Greeks" killed Frank Sobotka (who has a small role in NBC's Third Watch).

Is the the butchy EMS chick's alkie husband? Never put 2 + 2 together on that.

EMS? You mean cop (Faith Yokas)?

I really love the wire. There are times when it rides the line between serious stuff and comedy, as in the first season when mcnulty and his former partner get back together to investigate a really old murder scene and do nothing but use the F word the entire time. literally.

I've always liked the creator's work - homicide was consistently entertaining. Though the whole thing where braugher's character miraculously no longer had any brain problems was a little odd.

Anyone who thinks that tv sucks obviously does not watch the right shows. Almost any show on HBO is better written, acted, and produced than most computer games, and certainly is better than the average movie (not saying much).

In case you didn't already know (to the OP), you are watching reruns from last season, which was a little over a year ago IIRC.

Love this show...I rewatched the entire first season over a couple of weeks via Comcast's On Demand (LOVING this feature). Cant wait for another exciting season

Yeah Faith. Have not watched in a long time. Since season two I think. Good show though.
