on you people's recommendation i bought season 1....starts off slowly and there seems to be alot of the old behind the scenes courtroom law and order type stuff that doesn't really appeal to me...
but i like the idea that it's a bunch of generally useless police led by a guy who's only doing the investigation cause he's been told and that only one of them really gives a **** and nobody likes him
i've only gotten through 2 episodes so far but as of now...i still prefer the shield
Omar and McNulty are my favs for sure. I have yet to see season 5, waitin' for the DVD. My favorite all time scene in The Wire, and I can't remember if it was in season one or two, I think two, but it was when McNulty was drunk off his ass and he crashed his car. So then he re-crashed it on purpose to make it look like it wasn't his fault. Then he was all bloody and he stumbled into that cafe where he started flirting with the waitress, next scene he's banging her, omg that was pure genius stuff there. Love that show.

What!?!?!? That was a great scene, but you thought it was better than
Spoiler:?!?!?!? To me, that penultimate scene brought tears to my beautiful eyes. Apart from that, McNulty and Omar were the word, and the word was good.

Ahhh, that's a classic. Seriously, you're watching the greatest TV show of all time.
