HBO's The Wire
Sesaon 3 out on DVD today. Don't have HBO so I have to wait for the season sets. Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing so I can't wait to sit down and start.
Anyone else a fan of this groundbreaking series?
Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.

Haven't caught this one yet. I have no teevee (Well, I do, but it is only there to support a potted plant), so I catch up via immersion and Blockbuster rentals. I've run out of Sopranos, Deadwood, and Dead Like Me ended with season two (We'll miss you, 'George').
Something new to watch.

Season 3 was the best one yet. I can't believe HBO even considered axing this show. It's one of the best shows on TV! Much better than the Sopranos, IMO.
Look out for Marlo and his crew in season 3!!!

Just finished watching The Wire season 1 box set on the recommendation of a friend. The same friend who recommend that pile of crap called 24. And I have to say The Wire is just the best cop show EVER.And one of the best series of recent years. Up there if not better than The Sopranos & Deadwood. I am buying Season 2 this weekend. If you haven’t seen it check out.

Hope this doesn't turn into a what's the best cop show thread.
I think The Wire is great and innovative in the way that it tells its story over the course of a season or seasons. I doubt any other show portrays the day to day going ons of a police op better than The Wire does.
Each season is like a finely crafted novel and that is why I love it.
