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.

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

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

4-2-1-3-5

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

1>2>4>3>5

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

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.

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

agreed on S5 though

c'mon everything about that docks season is great

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

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

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.

1/2/3/4 > 5

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

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.

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

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?"

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.

Ziggy now

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

this is also my equation too

1>2>4>3>5

best quality: 3>4>2>1>5
most fun: 3>1>2>4>5

2 is great

lol

ah yeah, this was the season with the introduction of "parliamentary procedure"

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

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.
