The Wire is probly my favorite show that was on tv. I saw an episode at a friends house and the next day i went out and baught the first season.Only to complete it in 2 days, the went out and baught the 2nd, and within two weeks i had all 5 seasons and watched them all. I think after the last season i started watching it all over again from the begining.
What makes the show better is alot of the characters and event's really happened in Baltimore, like Bubbles was a actual crackhead from bmore who helped them with directing the show during parts with him. Snoop is a Baltimore native who lived close to the life she plays on same with Slim charlles.He was arrested in 2004 for gun possesion and in 2007 his brother was gunned down a couple blocks from where he grew up in Washington D.C. but i dont remember. He was on a show American Gangster a year ago.
