I've actually only watched the first three seasons, but I've got the complete series on DVD and will be looking to plow through the last two when I've got a bit more time on my hands.

I've just started season 3. Seeing this thread pop up has persuaded me to switch the xbox off & watch a couple of episodes.

sHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Might do the same and go through the box set again of this, was brilliant.

I can't justify spending a month of my life watching all this again, such an investment.

Didn't realise re-watching had to be done on specific time lines

It's taken me about three months to watch the first four series, so I don't think I'll be watching it twice.

Bloody brilliant series though.

Yeah bought the 5 full seasons on DVD for my missus birthday, she unwrapped it on Aug 3 and we'll be watching the last episode on Friday, over 2 months. Great as it is I wont be in a hurry to watch it again. Ordered the Walking Dead which is up next.

Well a month is about right, if you take longer then you just forget stuff and lose interest.

Boardwalk Empire for me, followed by Sopranos. People at work assure me Sopranos is even better than the Wire.

I've watched both and Sopranos does beat out The Wire, probably the greatest things I've watched.

Both fantastic though.

It is like choosing your favorite child.

They are both incredible, in fact throw in Six Feet Under (another HBO show no less) and you'll be rotating your favorite every month.

I tried to watch the soprano's after the wire and didn't really get it. The storyline doesn't seem to evolve, each episode is has its own beginning and conclusion and then it starts again the next episode. It's a bit like friends or the Simpson's in that respect and I got the sense that once I'd seen the first three episodes i'd seen them all. It felt like a light hearted generic comedy drama in comparison to the wire. Maybe I should give it another chance.

I suggest you give it another chance my friend, based on your description I think you have seriously misjudged it "light hearted" - Really??

For me, The Wire & The Sopranos are just about equal in terms of (extremely high) quality, Sopranos just shades it for me as the genre is perhaps my favourite. I highly doubt there will ever be a show as good as these 2.

Just started watching The Wire again for the umpteenth time,due to TV being awful at the minute.I've gotta say the final episode of season 2 is simply the best piece of TV I've ever seen.For real...

I did enjoy watching the wire, I don't miss living in it!

It didn't come across the best city,but always thought about maybe visiting for a few days if i'm ever on the east coast.

There are some nice places to visit and good restaurants. But it is largely as is seen in the show.
