The Wire Appreciation

I view THE WIRE as a kind of test. Is it possible that enough people say how GREAT something is, that I might think its great as well?

The answer (Survey Says!!), is No.

I watched a few episodes, and don't think its f*cking "cutting edge" at all.

Hill Street Blues was better, and thats old.

Honestly? I can't think of anything more over-rated on the tube.

First 4 episodes are a bit crap and then it gets going.

Mainly though I watch it for the characters in the show, soo many good ones and they just aren't developed properly until towards the end of the first season.
