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 won’t be bothered your homophobia is almost visceral.

See- I ain’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- I’m just a humble mother fucker with a big ass dick…

Lester- You give yourself too much credit

Bunk - okay, I ain’t that humble…

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 I’ve ever seen on tv.

I’m really looking forward to S2. It’s the one in a sense that I remember the least, but remember really enjoying.

I can’t believe I waited 12 years for the full rewatch. 7 episodes in. It’s a truly phenomenal show.

It’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 it’s like picking a favorite child though

When you really get into it the sopranos is too make believe. It’s still very good but it’s a bit ridiculous really.

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

With the Wire there’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 didn’t enjoy season 5 of the wire but I like the realism in the early seasons.

That’s more like asking me to a pick a favorite child tbh
