After so many threads on here with people touting the wire as the best tv show ever i figured i'd give it a shot.

one week and two seasons in, i have to say, they were right. This show is amazing.

thumbs up for ATOT TV recs
 
Just finished season four last week. It was a tad weak compared to the first three, but not too bad. Some people enjoyed it the most out of all the seasons so YMMV. The end of season four is pretty good I must say. Real good cliff hanger! I'm worried now that I only have 1 season left then I'll be caught up and have to watch it in real time only getting episodes when they come out. Wifey and I have been trading off watching Big Love and The Wire. So we'll go on to season three of Big Love next.

If this were a movie, what would it be rated? My wife loves crime drama's but isn't too fond of extreme violence/gore/drug abuse and profanity.

There's no gore but shitloads of profanity and definitely a lot of drug use. The show (especially season 1) is about drugs.
 
I just finished watching the entire five seasons for the second time. It is my favorite TV drama series of all time.
 
As I posted in the Movie review thread... I guess I just don't get it. It isn't bad, just so fucking slow. I'm now inching my way through the third season. It's actually playing right now in the other room, but I got bored and came here to see what was going on.

guess its not everyones cup of tea, but its just all around awesome. dramatic, funny, sad. awesome characters
 
I hate to call something the "best ever". But then I try to think of a show that was better than the Wire and come up empty.
