does anyone watch this?

i swear to god, this is the very best tv program i have ever seen in my life.

it is shown on fx (channel 165) on monday nights. they are currently half way through series 2 (of 4 - series 5 has just begun in america).

i really cannot tell you how much you have to watch this.

wiki

on the surface, it's about the cops in baltimore.

but if you watch it then you'll find it's equally about the people they are hunting, and why these bad guys are doing what they do. then you see the personal lives of both the cops and the criminals and find that not only are these guys and girls very similar, but in some cases if you take away the uniforms and guns and you'd struggle to know who is good and who is bad.

absolutely fantastic.

get on it.

i've always liked you spud.

i promise you, get series 1, you will not regret it.

this program is like a good novel, you have to soak up the early episodes to really know what's going on.

and just in case you are wondering, my favourite character is omar. he is a guy who goes around the 'hood carrying a shot gun and robs drug dealers. bad ass mother fucker.

This, along with 24, is next on my list of tv series to work through once I finish with the sopranos, I've heard a lot of people praise the wire.

series 3 starts tomorrow night at 10pm on fx (165).

the detail re-focus their attention to the barksdale crew and their drug dealing.

it will be on at the same time as prison break, but the wire is superior by quite some distance.

Sounds like something I could get into this summer if I start watching it. Too scared to start now as I have too many distractions stopping me getting work done already!

That is brilliant! I'd forgotten that scene completely. I've just finished watching the fourth series and it's just gets better and better. Although the end of S3 is perhaps the best moment so far...
