I just wanted to make sure everyone gets the chance to make an informed opinion.

Thanks for that! I started watching in December 08, am not quite done Season Four. Meanwhile, we managed to watch two seasons of True Blood in less than a month. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Sinbad.jpg

Worst season was the weird docks sidestep season imo.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 8 December 2022 04:00 (three years ago)

Although, it did have the beer drinking duck I guess.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 8 December 2022 04:00 (three years ago)

3 > 4 > 1 >> 2 >>> 5

S2 is great for Omar wearing a cheap tie over his street gear in court

4 is probably objectively better but it's just so damn depressing

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 8 December 2022 04:53 (three years ago)

Honestly I think 3 and 4 are the two best though the tone/content are different -- they are both damn depressing but for different reasons.

Like I think season 3 is the best, but I can totally respect anyone saying season 4 is the best. ... Anyone saying any of the other 3 seasons is the best is weird, and anyone repping for Season 5 as the best is def trolling.

sarahell, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:04 (three years ago)

wait what? I am a diehard 2 & 4 stan, although 3 is great as well

sleeve, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:13 (three years ago)

agreed on S5 though

sleeve, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:13 (three years ago)

c'mon everything about that docks season is great

sleeve, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:14 (three years ago)

I guess I gotta go with 2=4>3>1>>>5

sleeve, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:15 (three years ago)

the docks part, yeah ... some of the cop stuff is less great. But you make very good points ... one of my favorite bits is in Season 2 ... Sergei ... perhaps the hottest white guy in The Wire

sarahell, Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:30 (three years ago)

S2 might be the most fun to watch - the car heist, Ziggy's duck, McNulty at the brothel, Omar in court

Feel like I've seen some revisionist "S5 was not that bad" takes but when I rewatched early in the pandemic it was still ass.

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 8 December 2022 06:58 (three years ago)

1/2/3/4 > 5

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 8 December 2022 09:44 (three years ago)

I didn't like season 2 the first time that I watched it either, but came around to it eventually. The biggest sticking points were obviously having to watch Ziggy and Nick, who were both difficult to watch. But I came around to their stories and what they represent.

I didn't make it more than one or two episodes into 5 and I'm comfortable with that.

Love that Nicky went on to be Pornstache on Orange is the New Black

Fash Gordon (Neanderthal), Thursday, 8 December 2022 15:33 (three years ago)

Season 2 is essential like one of Tolstoy's annoying SEE THIS IS WHY GOD PUT THE CLOUDS HERE interludes, but it's still my least favorite.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 8 December 2022 15:39 (three years ago)

Does it have hands? Does it have a head? Yes? ... Then it wasn't us.

sarahell, Thursday, 8 December 2022 16:14 (three years ago)

I ony recently even saw all of the Wire. so it was funny when McNulty was on the Crown. I wanted to see Prince Charles squint and go "t'fuck did I do?"

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 9 December 2022 02:44 (three years ago)

He's been my least favorite part of this new season. Everyone was immaculately cast except him, far too handsome and smooth to be Charles.

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 9 December 2022 03:16 (three years ago)

Ziggy now

glad there was still a gag poll open so i could vote s1, ppl will understand by 3010

johnny crunch, Thursday, 26 December 2024 17:08 (one year ago)

i also read this btw in the jonathan abrams oral history book re: the strip club in s1

Dominic West (Det. Jimmy McNulty): Wendell and I had to judge a pretty pussy competition there once, I remember that. We took it really seriously and were very technical about it. Six girls bend over. It's brilliant.
