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 ??
-
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! 8)

Thanks, sounds dope, I'ma pick it up this week. 8)

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.

^^^^Noooooooooooooo! Justin, why didn't you write ***spoiler***?!? Dammit!!!

After watching season 5 of the shield...
the shield >>>>>>>>>> The Wire

Just finished season 1, pretty dope show, even if it started a little slow.. 8)
Got season 2 in the mail today, what do you mean with A & B storyline ???
You mean they show McNulty's cases in the dock and then switching back and forth to the housing projects ??

Season 3 arriving on the same day as part 2 of Prison Break season 1 then.. will be a great day. :)
From the cover of season 3 DVD, it seems a little more professional, like they put more money in the show or something.

Well, I won't give anything away, but McNulty's case in the docks will lead to a much bigger case. But yeah, it's all about what happens with the union & the docks. You'll see. As for the B-story line, they indeed continue to follow the lives of the people in the projects.
Btw, how many times have you watched Season 1? I don't know about you, but I love watching series several times (Alias, Six Feet Under, Lost, etc...)...there's always something new that I hadn't seen during the first time. That's why I appreciate The Wire so much. Because after paying attention to all the little details, the way the plot evolves, the way the dialogues are built up, etc, I realized how dope this show really is.
What's most striking about this soap is that they use absolutely NO music. Only in a few episodes, to sort of end the episode, but other than that...The Wire is built on a very strong storyline & dialogues. I've read a book last year by George Pelecanos - who's written a few episodes for The Wire - and I immediately recognized the same strong story writing.
I haven't seen the cover of Season 3 yet...can you give me a link?
-
Yeah it looks good! Can't wait to watch it...

Finished season 2 now as well son, bring on season 3, it's back in the hood again now, dealing G-packs and yellowtops. :D
I heard rumours about McNulty & co going for dirty media execs in the 4th season that starts airing in U.S. soon, but not sure, don't really wanna know before I've seen 3rd.
And here's the DVD-cover they first wanted to use:

Must say the new one is better, looks more gangsta. 8)

Interesting. Actually someone on The Wire's forum said that he had heard that Season 4 was going to be about the Baltimore school system, and how that results into young kids starting to deal drugs. Could be interesting too, but again...it was just a rumor.
It's good that they manage to keep the storyline under the wraps...

Bought season 1 for 329 kroner, and season 2 for 299 kroner.
Bought them from CDON.no, you should try CDON.se (http://www.cdon.se), search for "Wire".
I see Swedish season 2 is priced at 499 kr, but the price changes all the time.
Dunno how much taxes you must pay if you order from the Norwegian site, depends on Swedish laws.. you still get Swedish subtitles though.
In Norway, everybody who orders for more than 200 kroner, must pay 25% tax + customs. >:( That's why I rarely buy from abroad.

Hmm, sounds weird.. I don't like when kids got major roles in series though.. :-\
