The Wire

Daniels was a great character. Not many stuck up to Rawls.

There was graffiti on a toilet wall that said Rawls sucks c*ck in a later episode and Landsman just smilies when he sees it

Great exchange when Brother Mouzone was sending in his henchman to scope the bar for Omar.

You wonā€™t be bothered your homophobia is almost visceral.

See- I ainā€™t even set foot in there and u already calling me a c*cksucker.

He has fantastic delivery especially when pissed off

ā€œExcept McNulty, no McNulty, nothing that even resembles the son of a bitchā€

One of my favourite scenes.

Bunk- Iā€™m just a humble mother fucker with a big ass dickā€¦

Lester- You give yourself too much credit

Bunk - okay, I ainā€™t that humbleā€¦

You tricked me!

Ziggy as a character grows on me a bit every time I watch season 2. I thought he was an awful stuke the first time i watched it. Not easy to grow up in the shadow of Frank Sobotka

Ditto. I hated him in the first watch but thought he was fantastic since.

ā€œYou gave me bad adviceā€

The guy who plays Ziggy is a fantastic actor and has been brilliant in HBO stuff since, think he was a smackhead in real life.

Sorry lads. I draw the line at Ziggy. Can not stand him, most punchable fecker Iā€™ve ever seen on tv.

Iā€™m really looking forward to S2. Itā€™s the one in a sense that I remember the least, but remember really enjoying.

I canā€™t believe I waited 12 years for the full rewatch. 7 episodes in. Itā€™s a truly phenomenal show.

Itā€™s not as good as The Sorpranos though. In my view.

I am on season four at moment first time rewatching in over a decade. I rewatched sopranos back around April. The wire has aged better and is overall a superior show. Tbh itā€™s like picking a favorite child though

When you really get into it the sopranos is too make believe. Itā€™s still very good but itā€™s a bit ridiculous really.

The things that are part of the story the first time round like Tonyā€™s wife and family life and his therapy seasons are fast forward central in a rewatch.

With the Wire thereā€™s no fast forwarding any thread, although I may do so with the paper angle in S5

@Rocko can you add a The Wire Subsection to the forum and I will run a few polls to determine who the best character in The Wire is based on the votes of the good people of TFK

I didnā€™t enjoy season 5 of the wire but I like the realism in the early seasons.

Thatā€™s more like asking me to a pick a favorite child tbh
