Rewatched the first series last month. Iā€™m now of the opinion itā€™s the best. That scene where they examine the old murder scene, tap tap tap

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever watched anything on televison as good as the 4th season of the wire. Michaels character development was unreal.

Season 2 comes close to it, then season 1 for me folowed by season 3 and then 5.

4,3,1,2,5 would be my ordering. Michael is my favourite character in the entire series.

Itā€™s a pity they canā€™t retroactively rewrite season five.

The only thing up there with it is band of brothers and season one of true detective. But the rest of true detective is so bad it almost sullies it. And I see they are not done and are going for yet another season.

Excellent character and very true to life. I think they really nailed that to a tee.

Season 5 was a disappointment.But it was still very watchable. The storyline around McNulty was bollocks but I still enjoyed seeing how Marlo and co etc got on.

Bodieā€™s final scene too with Poot telling him to leave it was harrowing.

He was ahead of the McInteeā€™s in fairness to him.

Season 2 is epic. Itā€™s almost stand alone tvā€¦ 4, 2, 1, 3ā€¦5.

Herc making Sargent because he walked in on Royce getting a blow job was a great little yarn. It was all those little side stories that made it.

A directors cut of season 5 where they just take out that nonsense McNulty storyline altogether would be good. The newspaper stuff could have been good as a standalone.

The other four seasons are an absolute masterpiece though.

Mate of mine in college made me sit down and watch it, only for that I might have given up on it, because itā€™s slow moving, but it just gets better and better.

Some incredible characters. I loved McNulty. He was such a cunt, and he just couldnā€™t allow himself to be happy. He set fire to everything in his life.

Stringer bell was a fantastic bad guy too.

Then all the young lads who werenā€™t good or bad, just stuck in a fucked up system
