Download the "The Wire" bible. Early conceptual drafts of what, who, where, and when. Fun reading by David Simon.

I guess. I really loved Season 3, though. It was probably my favorite. Season 5 was pretty cool to me, too.
I guess my order would be 3,5,4,1,2. |

Might be a repost, but Simon's other Baltimore drug scene show was called "The Corner", based on a book he wrote. I recommend both.

More than 30, including 'Snoop' of 'Wire,' arrested in drug raids Pre-dawn action by city, state, federal agencies targets heroin, marijuana operation By Justin Fenton, The Baltimore Sun 7:13 AM EST, March 10, 2011 More than 30 people, including the actress known as "Snoop" from the Baltimore-based HBO series "The Wire," were arrested Thursday morning across the city and its surrounding counties in connection with a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation. Raids were carried out in the pre-dawn hours by agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore police and a slew of other federal and state law enforcement agencies. Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, known for her drug-assassin character on "The Wire," was taken into custody at a downtown apartment on a state warrant, officials said. The actress has a troubled past, having been convicted at age 14 of second-degree murder. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home. The arrests are part of a five-month drug investigation, officials said. |

1) I'm just now getting around to watching this (finished Season 2). No hyperbole, it's on the short list for best show EVAH.
2) If you haven't read the 19th century novelization of the "F**k scene", I highly recommend it. http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2011/0...ury-literature Last edited by Skyy God; 04-13-2011 at 10:30 AM.. |

I absolutely loved Season 2. People think it incredibly slow, but the story telling was out of this world. Just incredible.

That's why its so good. Make a distinction between best and favorite, please. Cuz no way does Season 4 being effective at what it wants to do make it the least-good season of the show.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I think they did a better job of showing the strife of a local Union leader or the Union itself in Season 2 than anything else they tried to show in the series. I think Season 2 was effective at doing what it wanted to do.
