The Wire is awful.

Worst show ever. It's should be called "The Cavalcade of the Crime Show Cliches"

It's definitely the worst show ever. I have it a few spots below Manimal and it just edged out Cop Rock for the worst ever.

Seriously though I think you might be exaggerating a bit. I still haven't taken the time to watch more than an episode or two, but what I seen certainly wasn't any worse than the gluttony of Law and Order and CSI crap they bombard us with. I'm going to force myself to sit through a season some time because I hear nothing but good things about it. (other than this thread)

If not trolling, keep on watching. I remember everybody going crazy about it, but I found the first few episodes kinda boring ... then it got brilliant.

Every so often I'll leave the TV on while I'm on Reddit or doing something else and Law & Order will come on. Everytime I hear that DUN DUN sound i have to laugh, since I've only really ever heard that sound used in a comedic setting.

I tried starting The Wire once but the SD format turns me off and I thought the first few eps I watched were pretty boring...

First few episodes of the Sopranos were boring. That is how it goes with shows that playout over time and are not meant to be watch one and done like CSI or It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

So true. It takes a few episodes before you start to learn who is who and what is going on then it builds from there. It is one of my all time favorite shows.

The Wire - Intelligent TV for intelligent people.

Some people will not understand it.

Stick to Jack Bauer.

That's what I was going to say. Proclaiming The Wire is "awful" is a sure way to announce to smart people that you're a dumb-ass.

Why is it that only middle class white people like The Wire and think it's brilliant? Could it be because they have no frame of reference to life on tha streetz?

Goofy honkies.... I'll tell you what.

Tell Me. Exactly how smart does one need to be to understand a basic-bitch, paint-by-the-numbers cop show?

If you hated the show so much, then why did you watch every episode?

Bullshit, I used to hit up the open air drug markets in Baltimore every damn day to buy dope and The Wire is the most realistic portrayal of how open air drug markets work in that area.

With each season you need to get to episodes 5 or 6 to really get into it.

The original Law & Order was brilliant. Those shows still hold up today, in my opinion.

Good series, definitely well-written and well-cast. Worth watching. But based on a lot of comments I've read online about it I would agree it's a bit overrated. I liked it but there are several other series that rank far higher.

Well just wait, they're releasing it in remastered 16:9 HD soon.

If you're gonna troll, might as well do it in glorious high definition.
