The Wire series 2! I'd never watched it before, then my dad bought the whole lot, so I watched series 1 last year and loved it. I'm enjoying series 2 as well - I like the way it's changed where the main action is happening, but hasn't just forgotten about all the characters from series 1.
A lot of people don't like S2 but I think it's really important in terms of character development. S3 has been my personal favourite so far. The show is like an epic novel. I don't really want to finish it! Who are your favourite characters? |

True Blood Season 1. Did not realise that it was written by Alan Ball. I adored Six Feet Under. Michael C Hall was brilliant in that, as he is in Dexter.
But True Blood is looking good to me so far |

Someone recommended The Shield to me last night. Said it's quite Wire-esque, is that right?

I hate you. No, not really, but still, you will only ever get one chance to be gripped in, enthralled by BSG on your first time round, and you shouldnt take that for granted. I do wish that I could experience it again for the first time. So far Im upto my forth or fifth time round, season 4, and still loving it. But think that after Im done, might give it a few months rest. Dont want to rinse it, its does have to last a lifetime afterall.
Fantastic series - I'm slowly working my way through it. It's going to take me a while but I'm going to savour every minute of it. ![]() Quote:

LOL - yeah, besides both involving law enforcement you probably couldn't get any farther apart. The Wire is slow and meticulous, each season building towards the a finale and then the payoff. The Shield is a lot more 'in your face' - the pace is always frenetic, and each season is usually a rollercoaster ride to the finish.
There are some great episodes there, and I'd add Galileo as well - fantastic. And this- this is sublime by any standard- if anyone needs a reason to consider checking this show out- well "Watch this" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaUPDYXQUtw |

To me Southland seems to have taken inspiration from it and of course you can see the similarities between it and Sons of Anarchy as Kurt Sutter started his TV writing on The Shield |
