i wanted to see where the money goes in season 1.... its real interesting shit. stringer is a mother fucker

^^ you'll see how season 4 ties in season 3,2,1 all together. seaosn 2 seems like it goes off the main storyline, which it does.. but you'll see how season 4 ties it all up. season 2 is very pertinent.

[GunMaster G-9]

im halfway through the second series, totally hooked. I try and watch at least one or two episodes a day.

The Wire will do that to you Seriously, the storyline about the docks is great. You get to know how everything works over there. The thing of it is, pretty much everything of what they show happens in reality too. I was watching a documentary the other day about drug smugglers in the port of Antwerp, and they basically had the same method as the Sobotka crew.
Season 2 has some great characters: Frank Sobotka, Nick, those Greek dudes, etc...really good actors.

Jome: thanks for posting the cover/info. Can't wait!

I started watching Season 3 again just a few days ago. My dad was like "don't you ever get bored knowing what will happen as you've already seen it?". But that's the beauty of it, lol, re-watching The Wire, looking at every detail, the way storylines unfold, the way new characters are introduced, etc...

I'm gonna cop the 1st season and start to watch .. the reviews are such incredible , that the show gotta be something worth ...

ziggy is one funny guy .I also like the way at seems that every two episode there must be one titty shot lol.

This show is crazy. i am in the middle of season 3 and its officially my favorite show (followed by Sopranos). I didn't know anything like this show existed. Its exactly the sort of show i like to watch.

I would love to see a show just like this where they follow cocaine from south America through Mexico into the states (like in the movie traffic) and how it connects with Los Angles gangs and crack selling in Compton, south central etc. Like from where it is manufactured all the way to where it is consumed. regardless of the drug (heroin or what ever). I would like to see more of the international trafficking thing and where all the laundered money goes and all the politics involved as well as the police work.

I also liked it how Method Man plays Cheese is in the show.
The dude who plays Avon (guy from Paid In Full i think?) fits that character soo well.
The guy who plays Bubs is such a perfect looking junkie!

That sounds indeed like an interesting concept for a good show, about the drug trafficking from Latin America to the States. I think the only problem with it would be to shoot on location. Not too many of those South American countries are keen on having film crews around. Especially not in the 'rough' areas. I was watching a documentary the other day about the slums in El Salvador and the dealers over there weren't having it that cameras were nearby. They HAD to leave. So that would most likely be the major problem.
If they could make it work and if they approached it with a The Wire-like method, it would indeed be a pretty good show, yeah.

And yeah, Wood Harris - "Avon Barksdale" - does a damn good job. Everybody else too though: Stringer, Cutty, Freamon, Daniels, Rawls, Bunk, Slim Charles, Omar, I mean: literally everybody! You can rarely say about a show that EVERY actor is good, but with The Wire it is the case, period. Props to their casting agency. What I also like is that they pick "authentic people". Most of the "project mopes" weren't even actors before they got put on for The Wire. I've read that somewhere. Slim Charles, for example, plays in a Baltimore go-go band, and they just asked him if he would be down to play a part on The Wire.

I'm telling you: this show is about as real as it can get.

[GunMaster G-9]

Yeh i think it would be awesome show. Imagine dudes lifting weights n slangin on corners in Compton or where ever with 64 Chev low riders, Cadillacs, regals etc. you could do soo much with that show. how the Latinos connect with the African American gangs etc. and where all the comes from etc. maybe how one of them guys goes to prison n quits the game n gets into rapping?

I would like to throw in Game to play a character like Cheese in The wire. He played this character in Waist Deep... Big Meat.... did a good job.

but then again it cant be no low budget bullshit...and i am sure with enough $ there would be a way around getting to film in the real poor parts of the latin america....hey thats just my 2 words

[GunMaster G-9]

man i been thinking bout that show i thought of... it would be insane 

[wcsoldier]

Finally watched the 1st season : AMAZING  ... bout to start to watch the 2nd
