yep - all. Very realistic, and gave both drama as well as humour. Excellent characters. The whole thing was very well done.
I’m now reading up on David Simon, the creator and writer.

I got sidetracked midway through Series 2. Haven’t got back to it…
And I’m getting to the interesting part of I Know Who You Are now. Five eps to go after finishing this one.

Yeah I’m in the same boat. Maybe Season 2 is the lessor of the series?
Funny thing is that when I see it pop up on Foxtel I don’t watch a random episode as I don’t want to spoil it just in case I start watching again.
This is a quote from an article about the writer, David Simon. It’s true what he says, those early episodes in a season you are trying really hard to keep up and work out where this is going, and then… BANG… you are locked in and onboard for the ride.
"Rafael Alvarez, a former Sun reporter whom Simon hired to write for the show, said, “You know how, in a Russian novel, the reader does the work for the first hundred pages, and then it turns and you’re lost in it? With ‘The Wire,’ it might be Episode 6 before it turns and you’re in.”

Up to episode 6 at the moment.
Just ok for mine.
Maybe the payoff will be worth it.
I’ve been watching the wire for the first time recently too. I just finished season 4 last week. Haven’t started the final season yet.

Is season 2 the one at the docks? Easily the worst season.

Respectfully, David Simon can foad for what he did to Dukie at the end of the series.

Came across this a few years ago when the house I moved into had a poster left on a wall, intriguing. Very funny when it’s at its best and just dumb funny otherwise. Highly recommend.

Pretty sure I saw the first 7-8 episodes.
Are we talking the old Canadian one, or the new Cartoon one?
