I always used to argue with cats on here bout season 2
always felt it had some of the best writing
Season 2 is absolutely vital in terms of understanding the show. Without that season, none of it makes sense.

Season 4 is the best season in television history. The kid/school angle was brilliant to the point it will never be matched. Season 2 was the "glue" season. Seasons 1 and 3 were equally great. Season 5 only suffered because it wasn't as good as the first four. It was still very good.

Same.My exact ranking as well.
Season 5 felt rushed like they were trying to use The Wire to make another statement about society that David Simon wanted to get off his chest. I still love the show as a whole and anyone I come across when they talk about tv dramas I always tell them to watch the Wire.
100% this.I can't put season 2 over 1
a lotta powerful moments happened in season 1
season 2 blueprinted how the trades worked but season 1 blueprinted how the characters worked
I lean towards the characters
TrojansSeason 2 sucked

100% this.
Season 1 was so beautiful to watch.
Wallace-Poot-Bodie dynamic
Barksdale dynamic that showed vulnerability even though they were the top dogs.
Omar.
the PD.
This show developed characters like no other show. No filler episodes. No long drawn out scenes.
Just an awesome season
Are you done with the show? How did you like it and where would you rank it against other shows you have watched

I'm on episode 8 and I really do think the show is worth the hype. I do agree with people saying it seems like S5 is rushed and they're trying to tie all the seasons together tighter.
What shows do people usually compare this to? The only other shows I really watch are Game of Thrones and Walking Dead, so I guess it's on par with GoT

I guess the normal frequent comparisons are Sopranos, and breaking bad. I haven't watched breaking bad yet but Sopranos doesnt stand anywhere near the wire to me in terms of the Story telling, the acting and the way they depicted on the whole city and how everything was intertwined.
I really into history and medieval times so i enjoy GOT a lot (minus the magic stuff) so its hard for me to put one above the other but the wire will probably always be the greatest television show to me.
i dont know how you can say the story telling, acting and how everything tied together was no where near the level of the wire. those 3 things were pretty amazing in the sopranos, which is the goat to me.I guess the normal frequent comparisons are Sopranos, and breaking bad.
