The Wire starting on BBC 2

UK'ers, if you havn't started watching this yet then i aggressively implore you to do so tonight. you won't regret it, trust!

Yeah, I'm gonna watch this. Haven't got whatever obscure channel it was previously being shown on, and I'm not going to fork out for dvds until I know I like it (yes, I could probably download it, but I can't be arsed). Anyway, I hope it's as good as every single newspaper television critic tells me it is.

You need subtitles or else.

Subtitles?

Just queue it on netflix. It doesnt cost that much to start an account. Like 7 bucks.

I downloaded all episodes, watched them and thought it was the best thing I have seen. Gonna watch tonight as well.

I've been on at my folks to watch this for ages... finished it all myself, making sure all my friends watch or record it, it's so good...

I started buying Honey Cheerios.... I spit like Bodie...... I walk with a slight limp if any hiphop comes on when my ipod is on.... i say 'shit' like Clay Davies......

The Wire changed my life for the better, and it can change yours too!

Why do i need to watch this?

Because you have to

That's what I thought until I rewatched the whole thing with proper subs and saw how much I missed.

i watched most of it in the original run, so now i only remember little things like Poot talking about glazing donuts on his wiretapped phone sex. so it feels like it may be time to revisit, but i know that'd mean losing a couple weeks.

good ole Baltimore. Dangerous ass city

i better like this. im downloading the entire season 1 and its taken forever

you will like.

it takes about 3 episodes for the Wire crack effect to take hold tho
