The Wire (tv drama)

[Class of 99]

I recently had series one box set forced upon me with the promise that this was the best TV show of all time.
I have now watched the first 6 episodes and am still waiting for the magic to begin.
It is watchable, but nothing more I am going to stick with it and hope to be proved wrong but to put this show on the same level as The Sopprano's to me is crazy

Keep watching fella, keep watching.

By the way, I'm on my phone so I can't (be arsed) to post photos, but does anybody else think that Omar Little and Randy Moss of the New England Patriots were separated at birth?

I am also on my phone Mc Grens but here goes........

Looks more like Cutty to me.

Maybe you're right. You can see it Better when he's beardless. Also when he's playing he has that same hang-dog expression that Omar has above.

Aye it's probably not the best photo but all the rest he had a helmet on!

[mc_grens]

Of course. I can hardly complain about that Minder, bearing in mind I didn't bother posting any!

This is some show alright - just finshing watching series 3, with Series 4 bought on DVD and series 5 taped from BBC2. Class of 99, it is a bit of slow burner at the very start- but definately well worth sticking with!

Got the box set last week and managed to watch the first few episodes over the last couple of days. Series 1 is excellent so far, getting to see some of the characters that I heard about on this thread. Its weird having watched series 4 and 5, knowing what happens to some of the characters, but it is definitely one of my favourite shows ever (if not the favourite).

[BennyHarp]

Just completed watching all 5 series of the show - great stuff!

Did anyone else notice Rawls in the gay bar in series 3 when some people where looking for Omar? I've been waiting to see if this came back on him but was never mentioned or was i seeing things?

Aye I posted something about this a while back as I also thought it was a hook for a later story but it never materialised. Just a wee glimpse into his life. I think at one point in a later series he mentions something about taking it in the ass or something similar.

Is it just me or is series 2 a bit of a let down after series 1? The first seres was excellent, some of the best TV I have ever watched.
