The Wire

[Sgt PSN]

Agreed. But skipping the entire season would be like not going to a party full of porn stars because one of them is bringing her fat ugly sister.

Especially because the plump sister is the only one youd have a chance with.

The newspaper angle in S5 is a little whack, but by no means should you skip it.

exactly

wire 5 > any season of any other show ever made

but it was a casualty of the shows overall greatness

[smeags]

Ummm no.

s5 is below the other 4 but its underrated

the serial killer story is just silly, but you really have to pay attention to the little moments. its prop joe dying and that getting a small write up. the real stories arent being covered or told because the industry swallowed itself whole and instead goes crazy over sensationalized nonsense like the homeless serial killer.

You know he hasn't watched it yet, right?

Nobody reads his posts anyway, don't worry.

the story lines of season 5 are poor but just watching another season of that cast is worth it alone

like sarge said the serial killer stuff is bad for the wire.....but its still better than say s1 true detective...my biggest problem with s5 is the farging actor who plays templeton....for a show that is so legendary for its picture perffect casting i dont get how they farged that up so bad...put a legit actor in that role and i could even overlook the serial killer storyline

still struggling my way through season 5...what a trainwreck.  just saw omar get got this morning but still have to finish the rest of that ep.  killing off the most entertaining character...how fitting for a pos season.
