The Wire

That female detective that works with Moreland and our Lisa were separated at birth :)

I can't re-call her name though.

Didn't think it warranted a new thread but The Wire is finally getting shown on British terrestrial tonight. It's the first series, from 2002 (?) I think, on BBC2 at 11:20. If no one has seen this show before, seriously, give it a watch.

You'll turn off after 20 minutes or be hooked for life.

:cool:

You're the second person to say that, if it's the same character of course.

That's the one Bellend Sebastian said I look like!

I've got more lookalikes than I've had hot dinners, according to the posters on this forum!! lol

Loved the first series - was hooked on that shit.

Can't bring myself to start on the 2nd series yet cos i don't have the time. Same reason i've put off starting the newest series of 24.

Finished the 1st series last night. Insanely good. Just ordered series 2 off Amazon which is apparently even better.

Keep meaning to check this out online and i've had the series link in my favourites for months. If its on bbc 2 atm i may have to check this badboy out on iPlayer.

Glad i did.

I remember being told that every series manages to be better than the last.

Admit it. You look exactly like her. ;)

Never knew Sebastian spotted it before me.

Literally incredible television.

On series 3, and it seems to get better with each passing episode - some fantastic characters - Bunk, Daniels and Omar to name but 3.

And that's before we get to McNulty.

Bought the box set a couple of weeks ago, trying to watch 1 a night. Just started series 2. It's too good!!

What are people's fave series'? I can't imagine S1 being topped!

Love McNulty - can't believe his real voice though. Few English actors in there.

Has anyone ever seen Lloyd Dyer and Lieutenant Daniels in the same room together?

:giggle:

Series 4 for me. Stringer is the man! I am glad the actor's got his own cop programme on the BBC soon.

The only telly thing I enjoy as much is True Blood which is pretty much on the other scale. Although I have been tipped to get Breaking Bad. Oh yeah....there's Spiral too, a French drama similar to The Wire.

Stringer used to be in popular teatime soap Family Affairs on Channel 5. I seen him at Paddington once when I was about 13 and shouted Tim (that was the name of his character in it, I've always had good chat like that). He actually looked pretty pleased someone had recognised him and came and shook my hand. Gully.

I like Season 4 the best. I was a tiny bit disappointed by Season 5, but I think that's just because Season 4 was such a hard act to follow, and in fairness the end of it is still pretty good and in keeping with the rest of the show - it doesn't suddenly go all corny and sentimental or anything daft like that.

I know I've said this before but it just makes everything else look so shit

Best series ever made bar Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

There is no way we could produce anything as good as The Wire in this current climate.

Breaking Bad is a decent gig an'all, been rifling through about 3 of those a night at the minute.

Finished season four a couple of weeks ago. Been told that season five is not even worth watching but I probably will anyway.

Across the seasons, the occasional scenes where they just let a music track roll for two or three minutes while showing various scenes from daily life in the city are just beautiful pieces of television.

Difficult to say which is my favourite, they've all got their charms including season two which I think is underrated.

Whoever told you that is obviously retarded then.

It's hardly a bad season, people just don't like how everything gets sewn together so quickly, if you put it against something like Lost's final season it's a fvcking masterpiece.

I like season five, there's some decent characters in it and I think it concludes most things pretty well.

I'd say it's better than season two, to be fair, though it's not one the best. The last episode has some brilliant moments.

Oh, and having never read this thread before today, the very first time I saw Beadie Russel I had to rewind and watch it again because I thought it WAS Lisoh.
