The Wire Season 3 DVD

[CRAFTY]

Anyone know when it's coming out? I think I've read somewhere that it would come out this summer, but I forgot...
Btw, when's Season 4 starting in the US? On HBO's site it says "coming in 2006" so I guess it's gonna be 4th quarter or something?

---> There aren't any spoilers in this thread except for Justin's post, so don't read that one if you're gonna buy the DVD.

Considering buying season 1 & 2 on DVD, but haven't seen a single episode yet.
How good is this show ? And what other show can it be compared to ??

[CRAFTY]

Well, I hadn't seen a single episode neither when I bought it, but I heard nothing but positive things about it.
First of all, let me tell you that they've got one hell of a strong cast. Secondly, the dialogues in the movie are so strongly built up that you won't even notice that there's no music being used in The Wire. Also, the plot development of The Wire is intriguing...the directors really take their time to explain the story.

I can't really compare it to a different show, but I can tell you there's a big chance that you won't be disappointed. The Shield is great, but I place The Wire higher in ranking. It's that good...

By the way Jome...there's this music & movie magazine here in Belgium which is known for giving good reviews from a critical, yet objective point-of-view, and they gave The Wire the highest score. And believe you me, they don't do that often. Also, they said it's the best show ever. Not the best crime show, not the best show in terms of screenplay...nope, the best show in general, period. So they place it above The Sopranos, The Shield, all of that.
I'd say, go get it!

Thanks, sounds dope, I'ma pick it up this week.

Hey, let me know whether you like it or not after you've watched the first season
By the way, the second season has an A and a B-storyline. The A-storyline is about what happens in the Baltimore docks, and for the B-storyline they pick up where season 1 ended.
