People are free to not like it. So long as they don’t say it’s not good. Obviously they are free to say that too. But it is not subjective that this is a good show. It is objectively high quality by any metric. Unless you think good shows are bad, there’s no way a person could correctly state that this show is not good. Not liking it? Sure. Not good? Don’t even think about it.

Omar's laugh is always epic.

The first 4 seasons of The Wire can be summed up as "Omar don't scare."

Season 1 of The Wire was EPIC! I remember 3 or 4 episodes into it & I felt like I had been watching it for years (& this was after I split those episodes in 2 nights!). Season 2, OTOH, has taken too long to build up. I'm 4 episodes in and I just don't feel the "Holy shit, this is so freaking amazing" feeling I felt with Season 1. The political intrigue, the interdepartmental struggles, the gritty portrayal of project life, the organization of the detail, everything made it so much more amazing.

dis make me wanna go buy season one cause i have only watched season 2

So the detectives didn't give a damm about wallace dying. Real life sht right there ! Moral of the story is NEVER cooperate with POEleese

Good clean clip.

the thing about the wire is every season is like a novel, with each episode being a chapter. lots is happening now that will become significant later. by the end of the first season your mind will be blown

Yall need to hear the "Way down in the hole" podcast

He's very important character.. he's the number one informant and he has one of the highest character developments of the whole series.. he was a drug addict an episode one and he was a clean sponsor on the last episode..

greatest show ever!

I have to admit it took me four episodes to finally like this show. First episode I thought it was kinda good but didn't go anywhere. My dad reckoned it was better than the shield. Being young I found it hard to understand as it was a more realistic show. But I trusted my dad. I never wanted to give up easy and eventually the characters drawed me in. As I watch the show more particularly as it exapands to more characters this the best show ever. Way better than the sopranos in my opinion.

Eric o sullivan Former Breaking Bad fan here. Breaking Bad is very cheesy compared to The Wire. It's just another show about a middle-aged white man. Unfortunately many fans of Breaking Bad (including myself) were very young when The Wire was being aired. Breaking Bad was overrated during its air. Sorry if the last line was especially offensive but that's how I see it.

Easily the best season.

if you google "the best show ever" The Wire comes up. True story!

I love The Wire and The Shield, but...IMHO they are both bettered by Hill Street Blues - the grittiest and realistic cop drama ever. The dark humour and intelligent dialogue (by Deadwood's writer David Milch) were incredible. Every episode had you laughing, crying and feeling disturbed by how low humans can be. It didn't shy away from anything and was uncomfortable viewing at times as well as creating fantastic but flawed characters. It won 26 Emmy awards (98 nominated) and won FOUR consecutive wins for Outstanding Drama Series. I urge anyone who likes the The Wire to give it a go.

All of them a essential. Without the different aspects there isn't the game.

Prop joe had to die he was playing a nasty game!

Imma tell yall something, the cops was just as dirty as any street player...ok, remember the last interrogation of d'angelo, when he was like "i want, what wallace want?" mcnulty played a convo betw poot and another chicc where poot explains how wallace been trippin lately. well, that tape should not have played because the first 10 secs was irrelevent to the case, and according the man who played the tape itself, mcnulty, it shouldve been discarded. "non perdinent."
