The Wire is probably the series most often recommended to me. I really should check it out one of these days.

I've never finished the pilot. Although, the guy that gets capped in the first 2 seconds is named Snot Boogie.

I'm 10 page behind on this fred. I felt like they did this concert three weeks ago (without Kanye) too, but nobody is mentioning it.

It really is great. I watched the first two seasons in like a week it was addicting, I couldn't stop. It's really an amazing show.

i think Season 2 is really, really underrated. I first watched it, and for whatever reason stopped after 4 or so episodes. about 6 months later i started it over, and thought it was really really good. So much stuff gooing on there

And Frank Sobotka!!!

But yeah, there is so much going on and don't wanna get into spoilers, but all ties in. The dock workers a fighting their own battle for survival and they have choices, just like the inner city gangs go in for the quick buck from drugs or watch your livelihood spiral down the drain.

Give it another chance Soren, its really good.

Agreed

Wire newbs, take Alan Sepinwall's advice -- you have to commit to watching the first four episodes before making any judgments. Pretty good odds you'll be hooked

I think some/most of that was in real time, with people worried that the characters they loved in Season 1 were being pushed out. Most people I know who caught up later liked/loved Season 2

Season 2 was a buzz kill. You had all these built up relationships with characters from season 1 then they just throw a bulk of that to the side.
