I didn’t understand why everyone was so into The Wire. I tried to watch it the summer of 2006 but it was on a small TV and it was 100 degrees outside, just couldn’t get into it. I tried again 2 years later and made it through the first season thankfully. So start it up, after you get through the first 5-6 episodes you really get it. You won’t be able to stop.
Get the Season 5 DVD at Amazon.
Listen to last month’s discussion of The Wire presented by the Museum of the Moving Picture.
Download episodes of The Wire on iTunes.
