The Wire is not only the best programme on television again but, amazingly, even better than the first series
Gritty, utterly involving cop show. A dozen slices of brilliance.
I found this a lot better than the first series, probably helped by the fact i already knew the characters. Plot lines and acting are fantastic, not a bad actor among them. I cannot recommend this enough. I am not a fan of 'cop' shows, but this and The Shield are the only ones worth watching.
I am really enjoying this. It's up there with NYPD and Sopranos. Took me a while to get in tune with the accents in series one. This series seems more accessable, but that's probably because I have come to know many of the characters in the first series. Haven't got Sky so never saw it before - but having rented series 1 & most of series 2 I prefer watching this way rather than waiting till next week. Eagerly awaiting last 2 dvds of series two. Series 3 on order. Excellent T.V for grown ups who don't mind thinking.
