I love the wire. I think it has to be the best show ever to grace our screens. It is a hard watch though. I remember buying the DVD of season 1 a couple of years ago not really knowing anything about it, I took a chance on it and at first I thought I had wasted my money. Watching the first episode felt like watching a show for teenage gangster wannabes but I am so glad I stuck with it because its brilliant and clever. I'm jealous of anybody yet to watch it.
