Title: just finished the wire
Post by: moonandback on February 20, 2010, 01:27:49 AM
I know its been mentioned all over the forum before but i have to say its the probably the best police drama ive ever seen and there were some incredible  performances, thinking in particular of Bubbles the junkie i dont think i have cared about a fictional character as much as i did about him just a great acting job. got a bumper harvest of box sets for xmas with Entourage,Dexter,The Wire and The Soprano's, down to my last set now just started the Soprano's looks good so far. Oh i think series 4 of the wire was my favourite.

cheers
Moon

As many will tell you mate, you have the privilege of watching them through from the view point of having not seen them before. That's so cool! :)up


Amazing show.


Anyone who hasn't seen much other HBO stuff, Rome is also the nuts!!

Yeah the first season was based on the Melbourne Gangland Murders in the 90's.

The 2nd is a prequel, set in the 70's/80's and centres around a guy called Terry Clark who was a massive drug dealer.

Both of them were a good watch with plenty of Neighbours and Home & Away appearances

Don't forget HBO for geeks: From the Earth To The Moon. Superb docudrama about the Apollo missions.

Quite simply the best thing I have ever watched.  For those that have only watched the first couple of series and are liking it I can only say it gets better and better and all five series work together to make it a truly sensational piece of drama.

You've still got a treat.

It's a show that ended because they decided they had finished telling the story they wanted to rather than a show that ended because the last season was shite.

For those downloaderery types, 'the bloke wot wrote The Wire (can't remember his name)'s' new series started a couple of weeks ago. It's called Treme, is set in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and features Bunk and Fremon in its cast.
