Any season that can promote itself by telling fans that the main character is drinking again clearly has character development. I'd complain more about the post's review, but honestly, anyone who takes the Post's entertainment section seriously has likely isn't smart enough to enjoy The Wire. <BR/><BR/>Chris, I appreciate your post, but how can you put Oz at the top?! Seasons 1-3 were pretty very amazing, then it appears that they ran out of some ideas in season 4, and seasons 5 and 6 were flat out embarassments. The ending of the show could have been written by a 2 year old, and I only watched it until the very end hoping that they were in a rut, but would pull out in the end. To me, they completely failed, and would have been better off if they'd been cancelled after Season 4, leaving us all to think they could have done an amazing job instead of churning out garbage.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785667533679432739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-9854127637981467422008-01-05T21:07:00.000-05:002008-01-05T21:07:00.000-05:00I loved season one, but it's the only one I've see...I loved season one, but it's the only one I've seen (because a friend gave me a copy). I'm hoping that now that it's ending on HBO, it will show up on Showcase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-11325176656856474322008-01-05T18:02:00.000-05:002008-01-05T18:02:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link, Jer!Chris: Season 1 is excell...Thanks for the link, Jer!<BR/><BR/>Chris: Season 1 is excellent, season 2 sort of moves away from the corners and while it's still great, it's my least favourite (though a friend of mine thought it was the best one). Season 3 is amazing, and season 4 will make you wonder where this show has been all your life. :) So I think by season 3 you'll be hooked completely. <BR/><BR/>My HBO faves:<BR/>1. The Wire<BR/>2. Six Feet Under<BR/>3. Entourage<BR/>4. The Sopranos<BR/>5. Sex and the City<BR/><BR/>And then everything else is tied for 6th. :)Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-65736738553871326342008-01-05T17:09:00.000-05:002008-01-05T17:09:00.000-05:00I only just recently watched season one of The Wir...I only just recently watched season one of The Wire, and I am totally a convert. I don't know that I'd agree that it's the best thing on TV (yet! I'll wait and see if seeing more of it changes that opinion), but it's certainly up there with the best of HBO ... which, I think everyone will agree, is pretty prestigious company.<BR/><BR/>HBO, as far as I'm concern, can do no wrong. Even its "fluff" (i.e. Sex and the City, Entourage) beat the crap out of average network fare. I haven't seen everything yet, unfortunately. Haven't seen Big Love or Curb Your Enthusiasm, for example ... but at the moment I'd rank my HBO top 5 shows as follows:<BR/><BR/>1. Oz <BR/>2. Deadwood and The Wire -- a tie, at least until The Wire shows me its chops in season 2+ <BR/>3. The Sopranos<BR/>4. Rome<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts?Chris in NFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064023598020493124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-91706439055254186722008-01-05T16:00:00.000-05:002008-01-05T16:00:00.000-05:00What is the "Wire" show of which you speak?
