I'm up to episode 7 and my only complaint thus far is there isn't enough McNulty.

Prez the teacher > Prez the cop

Carcetti reminds me of this icehole Lieutenant I worked for in the navy.

I like Brodie's character more in season 4 then I did the prior 3

brodie = bodie....him or omar have been my favorites since day one but i agree hes off the hook in season four

and mcnulty is not mcnulty for pretty much all of four...which is why one of the previews for the final season is this

Ever watch the Corner? Is it comparable to the wire or worth watching?

[Seabiscuit36]

It's very good, but not as amazing of storylines.  The Corner is more a sad drama about druggies. 

[ice grillin you]

the corner is pretty good if you have never seen the wire but it becomes unwatchable if you have


btw i just saw a promo for two wire specials on hbo...dec 20 and 21st i think...one is a look back at all the seasons via cast and crew interviews...didnt catch was the second one was

[Diomedes]

agreed until the "great literature" part.  as great television as it is, it's still just teevee; no television is comparable to great literature

[SD_Eagle5]

bah, they killed off Bodie. Season 4 was as good as the prior seasons but when you get 3/4 the way through you slowly realize it's a big setup for season 5.

There are two behind the scenes episodes on demand. Any specific reason why season 5 is the last season?

[ice grillin you]

simon had it all planned out from the beginning...it was never gonna be more than five seasons

i wont say easily because i dont wanna in any way denegrate the first three seasons but i think four is the goat season


im pissed that the new season is only ten episodes
