ChavWivaLawDegree Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I'm crap with names, but obviously McNulty is great. Omar is sexy in a scary ugly way - the dumb mixed race detective who works with the white cop is pretty hot too! I loved the female cop character. Very stong.I feel sorry for DumbAngelo! And Bubbs, I hope he stays clean!They are all very deep and believable characters. I love their complexity. No 2D goody v baddy lazy cliches here.Brilliant stuff.

cEDric Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Carver, the mixed race detective is one of my favourite characters... He is, like most characters on The Wire, a flawed individual and sometimes morally reprehensible, but he really matures over time both as Police and a human being. Plus, as you say, he's hot. We've just downloaded The Corner but are saving it until we have a completely free weekend.

Horsebox Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Ah, the wire. One of the best shows ever. Without wanting to repeat what has already been said...I was recommended this by a friend, plus much repetition by charlie brooker in the Graniaud, and after the first 2 episodes both myself and missus Horsebox were hooked. Within a month we are now almost at the end of Season 3.Character wise: McNulty is a selfish asshole, but portrayed so well, Omar is one of my faves, his dark deapan humour and downright ruthlessness win out, plus herc and carver are a fantastic double act (apparantly i resemble Herc :-S).What really struck it for me in S3 was the reality of the whole comstat and police performance issue, something that I have been very very involved with in the past.Do your selves a favour and watch it!

blinder999 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The Wire Season 4, out today in the US - does anyone order from the US Amazon site? Any drawbacks? Comes to less than ?25, I'm tempted. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/3/#findComment-60470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinder999 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 do you intend to watch one episode every night until you've devoured the lot? Or will you pace yourself and prolong the pleasure?

SeanMacGabhann Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 well that's always the question isn't it?We try and stick to 1 at a time but sometimes it runs to 2 or 3 depending on the day... But the only reason for holding back at all is to have more episodes to look forward to. And with Series 5 being the last one, not many eps left to go after this... :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/3/#findComment-60491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChavWivaLawDegree Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I gotta wait till season 4 comes down in price, I'm pissed!I watched season 3 in a mega 3 day session and it was too much too soon, I should have paced myself, I'm bereft!The dog fight was a bit dodgy tho!

cEDric Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Did any other Wire fans spot Wee-Bey's (well, the actor who plays him) recent cameo in Entourage, another HBO production, which came hot on the heels of an appearance by Domenick Lombardozzi who plays Herc? We also noticed Idris Elba (Stringer Bell) makes an appearance in American Gangster, although it took us a while to realise (he looked like he'd been at the pies). Meanwhile Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar) shows up briefly in Ben Affleck's directorial debut Gone Baby Gone (as a cop!!) as does Amy Ryan (Beadie Russell), but we may not get to see that as the UK release has been suspended indefinitely due to similarities with the Madeleine McCann case. Seeing the cast, who bizarrely feel like old friends now, pop up here and there causes me great excitment (pretty sad I know) and is keeping me going until Season 5 comes out next year.

char1ie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I thought it was strange that McNulty makes appearances on the Catherine Tate Show. Charlie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/3/#findComment-60750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChavWivaLawDegree Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 He's English, apparantly from Staffordshire I think. I thought when he played the English punter in series 2, him playing an american, playing English was funny.

char1ie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Series 5 is only 10 epsidodes apparently. Begins in January I think. I'll be busy on the Bittorrent. Focuses on the role of the media, and the failure of journalists to highlight failings in Baltimore's crumbling system.Charlie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/3/#findComment-60903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
