The Wire - Greatest TV show of the decade

Amy Ryan

"Mr. P, I'm definitely going to enrol, you'll see."

:cry:

EDIT - That's one short drug dealer.

Missed the last two episodes but I'll catch the omnibus tonight

To be continued.

:lol:

My mum forgot to sky + the second last episode on BBC the other night can anyone link me to a good episode summary, gonna watch the final tonight 8-)

Who's the bird who supports Carcetti's run for Mayor? Y'know the one that McNulty shags.

She is strawberry floating :wub:

.

Yoshi - give me a tosser rating, out of 10, for Ziggy, once you're a few episodes in.

Theresa D'Agostino

I really wouldn't advise reading an episode summary instead of watching the episode itself. There's a link to it in the first post of the Weeds thread.

Hmm, Google Images don't do her justice. Theresa is just so strawberry floating hawt. :oops:

Also, Cutty pisses all over Stringer now and is the coolest character in the program (I'm 3/4s through season 3).

I'm currently reading 'Clockers' by Richard Price and the similarities between it and The Wire are numerous. There was even a line I just read that was used verbatim in The Wire.

Obviously it makes sense as Richard Price became a writer on The Wire. Definitely a recommended read along with The Corner, Homicide and Drama City.

You need to read Drama City! Pelecanos (a writer on The Wire) used a lot of the research he'd done for the novel as the basis for Cutty's character.

He's the one blotch on an otherwise perfect show. God I hate this guy. 1o outta strawberry floatin' 10.

Not liking season 2 anywhere as near as much as the first I have to say; it doesn't seem as rich or as riveting so far.

I could never get over the fact that his real name in the show was Dennis Wise.

Doomy - Which would you say is the best of those books?

Yoshi - as others said to me, I'm sure he's meant to be a tit but, still, doesn't stop him being an annoying banana split.

JK - yep, that one got me too, 'specially as Chelsk fan.

One thing I'm wondering is whether Weebey will ever appear on the show again (I'm up to 3-10).

Don't answer that.

I would say Homicide. But they are all excellent books. If you're a Cutty fan though Drama City is well worth a read.

Hmm, I do need to read more... Thanks.

Umm.. that's her characters name. The actress is called Brandy Burre.

Yes, I gathered that, hence me saying Theresa is fit as she seems fitter in the show than she is in real life..

Got a cracking body too.

Just started S2.

I think it's gonna be a slow burner. Ziggy is a cock. And I didn't really like any of the other dockland workers.

Still s'only Ep1.
