    I am watching 'The Wire' for the 1st time ever!

    Always heard about it - Never EVER seen it!

    Supposed to be great? Anything I should look out for?

    I have the series and have not had time to watch it. I have heard so much about it and how awesome it is. I need to make some time this weekend.

        Exactly. Its just started being re-shown here in the UK, from the very start. My 'Box' has recorded the 1st 5 episodes, I've just seen ep1, and I am just starting ep2...

        I know it takes a wile to get into new shows, but thats why I wondered if there were any tips for this 'awesome' series

                I wish I could be you, experiencing it for the first time again.

                I would say to have patience for the first few episodes, and you'll be hopelessly hooked. It's not the type of show that tries to give you everything right away -- it's more of a slow cooker -- and the entire series is connected like one big novel.

                Having watched the Wire will make you a more awesome person.

                    It's a great series even though I never got to see the end.

                    The season at the school was the only one that seamed boring, but stick around it had another story going on that you will enjoy.

                                    I love how all the major plots are tied up so nicely at the end of Season 5, a masterclass in great writing!

                                        You should also check "The Shield"

                                          BTW if you're a fan of The Wire I'd recommend checking out The Shield (2002)

                                          Not as good as The Wire but it's an excellent show in the same genre that has a similar style

                                              Damn it, this thread reminded me how much I loved The Wire so I had to add DVD's back to my Netflix and order the first season.

                                                I have the feeling that "The Wire" (or "LOST") it's one of those things that people pretend to like ...

                                                    Amazing series, i just finished the whole thing last week as a matter of fact. I am just starting to watch Sons Of Anarchy now.

                                                      You lucky asshole. I wish I could go back in time and watch it for the first time again.

                                                        I just started watching it again, but just a few eps here and there.

                                                        Spend you some brain.

                                                          We'll see if people are calling LOST the best series in 2-3 years. Doubt it. I've watched them both and I'd say The Wire is a lot better.

Not to say there aren't some great isolated moments also. Not a series for those that like resolutions at the end of every episode.
