[Maurice Picarda]

Which of the several English actors in it is that then?

Letitia "Snoop" Pearson the Basingstoke hammer murderess. She can't do American to save her life.

[marty21]

Dexter on FX got 350,000 for FX.

Though they did advertise that on billboards and in newspapers.

It's available to all Sky subcribers and on Virgin Media too.

It's too far down on the Sky EPG next to loads of crap like Sumo TV and Pluse TV to get really high ratings.

Well given you have a quote of his as your tagline perhaps you could tell us what Simon's politics and world-view are?

You sound like a journo. Do your own research

Dexter went terrestrial via ITV as well. I think given a big push The Wire could become another HBO UK hit.

 

[Firky]

I watched Season 1 and I did enjoy but it didn't really grab me. I am enjoying Generation Kill though, the black humour in it has me laughing out loud.

Fed... a journo?

He works for the DWP you pillock

 

[tiki]

The two english actors are McNulty and Stringer.

Love the wire by the way. Omar

Firky is correct.

Idris Elba. If you were a REAL fan, you know that

 

[Santino]

Freamon is English too. Carcetti from S3 onwards is either English or Irish, I forget.

 

[Annierak]

Haven't watched it. It sounds shite though and the urban hype just puts me off. No desire to watch it

[Johnny Canuck3]

let's find out

Is that the one about the black cops? If yes, then yes, once. There's no category for that in your poll.

 

[jeff_leigh]

There wasn't a poll option for me, got all 5 series downloaded watch 3 get round to the other 2 when I have some time, Fookin Crackin series

and you

 

[STFC]

Just watched the final five episodes of the first series in one Havana Club fuelled sitting. The series two boxset is on its way from Amazon, can't wait to get stuck into it.

 

[El Jefe]

About to start Season5.

I hate to add to the hype, but it really is the best tv show ever. Even better than Deadwood.

Other HBO shows pale into insignificance before te mighty Wire

 

[Firky]

i just started season 2 and it is fucking ace

i reckon GK is going to be a blinder as well even though they didnt write it, i love the humour in it

 

[danny la rouge]

I've seen it mentioned on here recently, but never come across it in the TV schedules. I assume therefore that it isn't on terrestrial.

I have to keep upping the ante for US TV.. roughly speaking.

Twin Peaks > Northern Exposure > The Sopranos > Six Feet Under > Deadwood > The Wire

each better than the last..

Nope, amazingly.

I don't have clever telly so I just download them all

i don't think you would like it tbh

 

[danny la rouge]

i don't think you would like it tbh

Why?

 

[Firky]

Why?

Because it has a cool stamp to it, much like La Haine has, the subtext is lost because it tries to be slick. Good looking cops, niggers doing deals, and Omar is unbelievable as a character. That aside it is good - maybe am looking for faults.
