i wouldn't get it because i'm a white guy from the suburbs of philly who has no fargin clue what it's like to live in a crime-infested inner city hell hole.

The Wire is probably the best made show that I've seen.  The secondary characters like Slim Charles, Bodie, Colvin, Cutty, Wee-Bay, etc are better than the major characters on most shows. 

I still like Lost the most but I have no problem admitting to being completely obsessed with that show, bordering on IGY with The Wire. 

I finished the series.  Ep 9 and 10 were very strong in what was a mediocre 5th season in my opinion.

I know I'm in the minority but I'd rank the seasons:
3
4, 1, 2
5

I liked Stringer and Avon's story so much I just didn't feel the show was the same without them on screen.  I didn't like season 5 as much just because I didn't like the journalism side story that much and I thought the homeless "killings" got a little ridiculous.  It did do a lot to push Joe and Charles pretty high up on my favorite characters list.

back in 07 when igy made the wire thread season 5 was coming out. I never had the desire to watch the thing, nor did I ever once click into the thread as I thought it was just another 21 jumpstreet type of cop beats bad guy thing... but on HBO.

it wasnt until one day 2 weeks ago I was in the airport and saw all of the seasons sitting there for $60/piece. I bought season 1 for the hell of it to see if I would like it.

I have to say this was one of the most addicting series/tv shows I have ever watched in my life. luckily my boy had the other 4 seasons and the rest was history. fascinating story I know...but just wanted to say appreciate it for leading me on to it
