I watch the whole series once a year. Every time, I discover little things I hadn't noticed before.

Interesting Wire news - Det. Sydnor is going to join the cast of Boardwalk Empire and D'angelo Barksdale is joining the cast of the Walking Dead. Good to see those guys landing on good, acclaimed shows.

Any Treme fans here?

I watched 2 or 3 seasons of Treme.  Only thing good was the music.  Too fucking preachy and obvious about it.

I would rewatch it to see what you love so much about it, but that would be very boring.

season 2 nearly lost me. season 3 made me love the show. season 4 made me think it's the best damn show to have ever been on tv. and season 5 was a snooze. who cares about a newspaper?

Stevedores!

strangelight pretty much hit the nail on the head for me in terms of seasons. David Simon worked for the Baltimore Sun (or whatever it was called in the show), but his interest in that spectrum far outweighed mine. I didn't care for season five that much.

I will watch the rest of season two halfassedly but then I will be ready for go time when season 3 and 4 get going.

I like the murder mystery and how it unravels throughout the season and how the Greek is connected/ running all that shit.  I like how that's how they get McNulty back (sure didn't take 'em long) and I like the hot dock cop.  the Ziggy subplot was cool too.  if each season was like a movie, then that one was the most cohesive for me

I'm with you on it.  I also liked how it all was a result of Valchek getting pissed of about stained glass.

Season 2 is underrated for sure.  I don't get the hate.

I really, really hate agreeing with priest.

There's a lot of black guys making out. Am I supposed to look away or get into it?

if you aren't into omar then you're doing this show wrong. the jock president obama already declared omar the best character on the show.
