Which one was that? I've just finished ep 3 of season 3 thanks to a gorgeous urb

I knew Jimmy was English (with an accent like that), but only found out 2 days ago Stringer is too Motherfucker!

Omar ftw

Lester Freamon has a bit of an english tint to his accent as well.

And the guy who plays Tommy Carcetti is irish, was in Queer as Folk iirc.

I don't wanna post any spoilers!

I searched - you're right, that's a great ep, one part in particular.

I'm really tired because I stayed up till 3am watching the wire

I watched all four series in the summer holidays.

At one point I was averaging about 4-5 episodes a day.

After a particularly prolonged Wire session, I went out and couldn't understand why no one was talking in a Baltimore accent

 

[Kenny Vermouth]

Curb - but only because it's the only one I've really watched.

Same - And I started saying motherfucker a lot

I voted Wire. Although Deadwood was very very close.

Having returned to viewing Oz I'm of the opinion that it's not half as clever as it thinks it is but kind of addictive for its violence...

Carnivale, and last season of the Wire for winter

 

[ChrisFilter]

We keep trying to watch The Wire but never get through the first episode. We'll manage it one day, I'm sure.

 

[Pieface]

Is that because you're enhanced while you're doing it, Chris? That really won't help

 

[ChrisFilter]

No! Never tried watching it whilst enhanced... always just got a bit bored.

Spot on.

They set up characters and stuff in the first one - it's not a series with a pay off at the end of every episode, there aren't any cliff hangers! Get a couple out the way and you'll probably be hooked.

 

[fieryjack]

Boooooo

Larry Sanders isn't an option.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I had to drop some of them.

 

[imposs1904]

Damn, I wanted to vote for Lucky Louie.

I can't believe HBO cancelled it after only one series. It was the funniest comedy I'd seen in years.

Guess I'll have to plump for Six Feet Under.

Larry Sanders Show

Isnt everyone forgetting The Larry Sanders Show? Possibly the greatest US comedy of all time (alongside Seinfeld). Another early HBO show was Dream On. Both shoved to a late night slot on UK TV in the nineties.

 

[oneflewover]

The crime scene investigation with McNulty and Bunk Moreland, where "fuck" and "motherfucker" is the only dialogue?

By the wonders of

 

[hendo]

Has anyone seen 'Tell me you Love me?' I've seen a few episodes and it's a bit porny but quite interesting.

I voted Entourage, but kicked myself because of course, The Wire rules.

 

[Flashman]

Wire, Deadwood, Curb.

And yes, I use motherfucker a lot more now too, motherfuckers.

 

[Pie 1]

The Wire by a mile.
But then the others are also so far ahead of anything else on TV it's ridiculous.

What's Rome like btw?
I was eyeing up S1 in the shop the other day.

 

[Belushi]

What's Rome like btw?

Its quite enjoyable, not to be taken seriously and not a great drama like some of HBO's best.

 

[Pieface]

I'm on the fourth series of Oz and it jumped the shark so massively yesterday that I fell about laughing....in fact, it's been getting progressively funnier as the series advance. I don't think this is intentional but it's so pompous and ridiculous at the same time it kills me

 

[kyser_soze]

It's all about the game, man.

It's all about the game, man.

Seeing 'the game' on The Wire has changed how I look at my own life.

 

[London_Calling]

No doubt.

The Wire The Wire The Wire.

Halfway through series two at the moment.

Do we need a Wire forum?
