I absolutely love tv shows, prison break and 24 have been my favourites for the past few years. Recently I decided to check out 'the wire' as I had never watched it but had seen some great reviews online. I must admit 'The Wire' very quickly became my favourite show ever and I got through all five series in a a couple of months. This show has everything, I especially enjoyed how it looks at the lives of a city from a social, political and economic perspective.
The wire is nothing short of a masterpiece.
The only trouble is I do not know anyone else who has seen it, I know there are lots of fans out there.......
Does anyone else share my view that the wire is the best tv show ever?

Absolutely the best! Only HBO could (and be allowed) show a series like this. I am looking for the last 2 seasons (since they TW knocked off HBO from my fixed cable box) so that I could see how it all ended up. So yes I agree w/you!!! My #2 all time show

3rd place goes to The Shield and the all time #1 show: STAR TREK VOYAGER!!!!

i am running out off shows to watch,just finished of 7 seasons of 24 and this was recommended,if its as good as 24,can't wait.

i have the first 2 eps ready to watch in work tonight.

I LOVED The Wire. My only problem now is finding a television show that had the same amount of brillant work.

The Corner chronicles the life of a family living in poverty amid the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore. it's a 6 part mini series & it's alot darker than The Wire sometimes too dark but a must watch for fans of The Wire.

I d'loaded it last year from Piratebay but always run into trouble uploading it.


Should've known somebody on here would've hooked it up..

The Corner is very dark indeed

what the fuck, 24 and The Wire should never be compared. One is complete fucking trash and the other is The Wire, possibly best the television show ever.

*whistles the farmer in the dell*

The wire is among my top 5 shows. The Sopranos ended and i was looking for something to fill the void. I was sick and stayed home from work one day and watched the first 2 seasons of THE WIRE in one day< needless to say I called out the next day to finish up season 3.. If you liked THE wire, you should definately check out THE SHIELD, Prison BReak, another 2 shows in my top 5.

prison break?

lol

Prison Break was a joke, It started really well, went really crappy but had solid episodes towards the end. Its not an overall amazing show, 8/10 maybe...

The wire was simply epic, such an amazingly well written and acted show. Its definetely a top 5 all time show for me. Im also including Lost in that list(and if the final season ends well, it could be the best ever).

If you want something amazing to watch, I strongly recommend you watch Breaking Bad. Fans of The Wire would love this show im sure, its got a very real feel to it and the writing and acting is just amazing. Dexter is another great show that everyone should watch, its really well done.
