Oh well will still be worth it

[Stuck In A Lift]

It's too gritty for all that HD rubbish.

Oh, certainly. I didn't catch it first time round but was introduced to it via here when the Beeb were showing it straight through on consecutive nights - heaven. Just looked on the Atlantic planner and it looks like it may be weekly? I'm sure I'd go up the wall waiting a week between episodes!!

I have just done that with it on FX, never seen it before. I manages it though, but then they never aired series 5!!

I watched TW for the first time on FX, stuck with the weekly showings (save for series four which was weeknightly) and Clay Davies stands out as the biggest st for me so far. I haven't seen series five yet.

I could handle the weekly part, I liked it, it gave you something to look forward to like in the old days.

Good question. I'd go with:

Omar.
Bubbs. (especially in the earlier series)
Carcetti.
Bunk.
Carver.
Boodie.

Anyone worked out why Daniels walks like his dick is made of glass?

the wire is the best thing i have ever seen

Rewatched the first episode.

How amazing is it? The reality, the growth of characters.

One thing was instantly obvious (after just watching series four). How Carver had moved forward, and yet Herc has no capability to grow (like some people are) . We start off with two knuckleheads, and one turns into good poLeece and the other remains a knucklehead and even causes fk-up after fk-up

[Thom987]

McNulty
Bubbs
Omar
Lester Freamon
Bunk
