I'm half way thru season 3

but I don't see how they could top season 1

shit was grimey

 

You will enjoy the 4th season. I started watching the wire when it was at the end of season 3, then watched the 4th season. So I had to go back and watch 1 and 2, totally killing my whole experience br0z. Still one of my favorite shows of all time.

I think people underrate season 2, it's a bit slow but the last 3 or 4 episodes are the definition of suspense. The best part is when Omar goes as a witness against Bird, that was funny.

 

great fuckin scene.

i love what he says to the lawyer.

 

and it is a good season. it's different, plenty different,

but excellent, esp on rewatching. the greek is another great character

I don't know, to me it wasn't nearly as bad because Wallace was a soft dude in the drug game, and that kind of shit is what happens

 

Avon and Stringer came up together like brothers, and the money and power drove them apart. Even doing what they "had to do", you could see they still loved eachother (no homo)...shit was fucked

got given a copy of "the corner" for christmas...its done by the same people.

its along the same lines as the wire, but not quite as gangster.

 

it took me a while to get into it but its well worth watching...

and its pretty wierd to watch the same actors play different roles....lester freeman is a fiend in this, Mayor Carcetti's black advisor is also a dope head...

He did turn on Avon...they both turned on eachother.

 

The scene where they're drinking on the balcony, reminiscing about their childhood, talking about how much they lov eachother, knowing they sold eachother out...seriously one of the saddest things I've ever watched on TV

 

By far one of the best scenes on any show ever....
