Ok im late I know, The Wire

[fredropro]

Man everyone should get on this one of the best series ive ever seen. I cant wait till season 5 comes out on dvd.

Well its about time.

Best show ever, and I say that with 100% confidence. An absolute masterpiece. I've seen the entire series through 3 times and am in the process of watching Season 3 with commentary right now (my friend has the DVDs). I'll buy them as a set when they come out with Season 5, I'm sure... as a sign of respect/love if nothing else.

Can't wait for Simon's next project. I also need to go back and watch Homicide: Life on the Streets, because I missed that show when it was on. If you haven't checked it out, watch The Corner, which was Simon and Burns' mini-series on HBO following the lives of a family in Baltimore -- one of the most heart-wrenching things I've ever watched.

Here's my desktop background:


Yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with Baltimore and boarded-up rowhouses now. I plan to go visit B-More to check it out because The Wire made me feel some serious connection to the place.

That would be the worst vacation ever.

But yes, The Wire is the best show I've seen.

LOL! Yeah I wouldn't advise going to look at the row houses. Better off lookin at the Domino Sugar facory from across the harbor. Yes I too love The Wire and am quite sad that it is gone.

I've never been to the East Coast, so it would be a combination trip with DC and some other spots I'm sure. Haha, but yeah, I'm sure not everyone shares my obsession with this show... I'd just go check out Marlo's Spot near Gay St., sit on the McNulty/Bodie bench, go to the Greek's restaurant out by the ports... that kind of stuff.

The architecture and starkness of the rowhouses really appeals to me. I dunno what it is. The pictures that I've seen of the ones painted bright colors or with messages on them are really amazing... I dunno, it's so uncommon to see large swaths of empty city... if you see it all the time, it's probably not a big deal.

I was telling my fiance the other day I wanted to sit down and every weekend rent a season and watch it. I have heard nothing but great things about the series.

I need to watch Entrouage too (I have yet to see a episode of The Wire or Entourage)

I also need to catch up on some Soprano's I didn't even see the series finale.

If you've never been to the East coast, you should avoid Baltimore completely. The city seriously blows.
