  1. 1. Which is your favourite season of The Wire?



Recommended Posts

Won't say much except that I remember being exactly where you are now, devastated that I only had one season left and determined to enjoy every second of it.

 

It ... did NOT live up to what I was hoping for.

 

Finished it today.

 

I kind of feel that way you described your last sentence with certain aspects of season 5.

 

It did made sense in the fact that pretty much everything was a shakedown of some sorts and that Baltimore life cycle (as with anything in life) just goes on. One just replaces another.

 

In terms of greatness as a show, without doubt the best show I've ever watched.

 

And...I have to post this:

 

 

Now to do some reading up...

It's 'Homicide: Life on the Street' you want to read. 

And watch The Corner if you can find it.

 

The best of the rest of Simon is probably Treme

5 is the weakest of the series but everything is relative, it’s still better than most tv I’ve ever watched.

Not the right thread for it but reckon my dream would be a fairly decent movie pitch: Prop Joe and Snoop from the wire play an honour bound poor couple trying to provide for their child by working for a maniacal underworld boss. It was called: Escape that Prick.

I’d only watch it if Simon Maroulis was cast as the boss/prick.

Rawls: You bend over for us, or I swear to God, I'll spend what's left of my career shitting on anybody in your department.

 

Bunny: My people saw this as a tactical deployment. The responsibility is mine and mine alone.

 

Burrell: Well, you won't fall alone. Unless you fall exactly the way we tell you to.

 

Rawls: You go to retirement services and file at a lieutenant's grade, that's right, you're busted back. We can't take your OEEOD away, but you're not going out with a Major's pension.

 

Bunny: I can retire right now, with my 30, before you bust me. I got vacation time alone, to make my 30.

 

Burrell: Fuck your vacation time. You're out. Today. At the lower grade.

 

Bunny: That's against the goddamn contract!

 

Rawls: What part of bend over didn't you understand?
