Season 3 is getting back to that season 1 feel. MUCH better so far!
On episode 8 of season 3. Thsi show freaking KICKS ASS again! WOW!
I think this is my favorite season of all of them. I LOVE Bunny, and also Carcetti, and also Cutty. Marlo is also a great character.
Go Hamsterdam! At one point I was going to buy a Hamsterdam shirt.

Just finished season 2. It started a little slow, but got better. That Brother character was a hoot.
I loved the scene in episode 10 when Roland was rearranging the board, reminded me of the Sopranos.

Im just finishing season 4. Seasons 3 and 4 are soooo much better than season 2.
Ok I just finished this on Monday. It was truly a great series overall. Anyone who hasent seen it is doing themselves a huge disservice.
I would put it right up there with the Sopranos. In fact I probably like it better than the Sopranos overall. Thanks for the recomendation a-bomb. Some of the best most entertaining TV I have ever seen.

It looks like your doing what I am doing. I started with the Sopranos... Then the Wire, then Dexter, Now Deadwood.
Soon Oz and Rome.
With the shows having such short seasons, watching them in Real Time ala Dexter is driving me bonkers!
Waiting for the series to end seems to be the best plan.

Take that, mulli.
Just finished season 3. Those two characters were outstanding additions, especially Colvin. I felt pretty bad for him towards the end of the season. I'm eager to see what happens with Carcetti.
They definitely got back on track with season 3, my favorite so far.
The end of this season was awesome. I loved when Colvin was explaining hampsterdam to the bosses. "Have you lost your f'n mind!?!"
Glad to see brother back. He and Omar make an interesting mix.
If I was going to be a gangster, I would take some shooting lessons. These guys can't shoot for s**t.
Season 4 down. Great stuff. Probably my favorite so far. I thought the kids were pretty authentic. Not great actors, but I liked it that way. I sometimes play hoops with a few guys that talk like that, can't understand a damn thing they're saying.
However, I was mighty pissed when Bodie got whacked. He was my favorite gangster.

Alrighty here goes:
Awesome show. I do not think it belongs in the same category as Sopranos, but no show really does. If those guys walked into my living room right now I'd feel like I've know them my whole life. The insight into the minds of those characters will be hard to ever match.
However, I would definitely include this show in the conversation of the most interesting shows ever. I didn't really care for the characters, but I still looked forward to watching whole Baltimore scene unfold.
And now my comments to my customary reread of the thread after finishing a movie/show:
Well said. It seemed like you were always getting the real deal in this show.
That was an incredible scene, watched it three times. It demonstrated how little value these guys place on life, even their own.
My thoughts exactly on each season.
Good point about the layering. The Game is the Game. I loved how they created the web of characters and showed how they're all connected somehow.
There were sooo many good characters in this show, even the smaller bit parts. I loved Bubbles' sponsor. He just seemed to steal the scene every time he spoke.
This link didn't work for me, but I found this one below. Pretty cool.

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Geez, I miss it after these new series on TV aren't half as good.
So I just watched the first episode ... and was really underwhelmed. Does it take a couple episodes to take hold of you?
Don't ask me. I was underwhelmed with the whole first season. Stopped watching.
Only one in the world who didn't like. Except for my wife.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
It's been so long since I've watched it that I'm not sure exactly how it started out. I know that I loved the entire series, so I'd encourage you to continue.
Your dead
I was same way.. Took me about 5 episodes.. But after that I was hooked. Show is pure genius!

the show is the single best slow burn in TV history Pariah. it won't overwhelm you at once, but after a while, you'll realize you're addicted to it. keep watching.
I think you fell asleep watching it and dreamt it was good.
OK, then. It's the Wire next (two more eps of BoB, then onward...)

Personally, at a minimum, I'd find at least a few hours of something else to watch in between. I don't think the Wire is on the level of Band of Brothers but nowhere is the difference more obvious than in the early episodes. Watch something lighter in between and you have a better chance of appreciating the Wire IMO. Actually, it doesn't even have to be lighter fare. You could even start watching Pacific and by the time you're bored to tears by it you should be ready for the Wire.
