Preliminary season rankings are: 1 > 3 > 4 > 2 > 5

I just didn't care at all about Avon and Marlo as characters, definitely the weakest of the cast with Marlo being a significantly downgraded successor.

Is Bubbles supposed to be the dark comic relief? The comedy of errors he endures in S4 was ridiculous. Speaking of S4, it had such a blatant "hold for commentary" shot in the finale that it took me out the moment.

Whatever happened to the FBI honcho who was being pinged on the wiretaps from his office? Same can be said of the bow tie guy.

I'm pretty glad to have watched it now in HD widescreen (like with TNG), as opposed to earlier in SD 4:3 yuck!

Ranking S1 over S3 and S4 is certainly a take.

Michael Kenneth Williams passed a couple years ago unfortunately, one of my favorite actors. The Wire is worth watching for anyone still on the fence.

I could see s1 being better than s4 but not s3.

2 is so much better on rewatch.

It never gets the proper love because the transition from the streets and established characters to the docks and brand-new characters is so jarring for first-time viewers it leaves an unfortunately bad impression. I liked it on the first watch and absolutely loved it on the second.

Frank Sobotka is the fucking man.
