Coincidentally I was rewatching it anyway. Still on season 1, which is always a treat to watch. All seasons are, but S1 is my second favorite season after S3.

It was the first "show I watched because the internet raved about it" series for me. Glad I did, it was pretty powerful. And I watched it right before it became completely overshadowed by breaking bad for like a decade as "the greatest show of all time to watch"

Wow. Time flies. Whatever season where the focus was on the kids was my favorite - 4, I think.

I think it was

1 - good start to the show

2 - weaker and a bit of a shock focusing on entirely different cast but in the grand scheme of things under appreciated

3 - getting good once again

4 - best one

5 - did the best they could so near cancelation despite the slightly outlandish fake serial killer plot

Who would have thought considering most of them had no prior acting experience right? Some of their acting beats oscar winnings, especially season 4.

Season 4 of The Wire is by far the best season in ANY series from EVERY network during the 90s. There's so much depth in the season: How marginalized communities are affected by drugs and violence, the bullshit that occurs in police bureaucratic, and how poor the education system is for those affected by drugs, violence, and politics. I learn something new every time I watch that season.

The Sopranos mops the floor with it but even then, The Wire's still one of the greatest shows of all time.

I also like The Sopranos more than The Wire, but it's my favorite show and they're both different kinds of shows. One is focused on a smaller scope with a man and his two families, psychology, the end of peak America, and stuff like that. The other is about a city, institutions, politics, and more.

Sopranos was stressful for me to watch because of how Tony and Carmela just went into the deep end as horrible human beings. Carmela was one of the most annoying characters to watch, but what powerful acting!

I don't care what many people say, season 2 was great. I know it's kind of jarring at first, but when you look at the series as a whole, it fits right in with the rest of them. Frank Sobotka is one of the best characters in the show.
