Thanks for everyone who participated in that poll and I hope those watching this along with me enjoy just as much!

What aspect are you most excited for me to get to in this show??

the pacing of the show is wonderful. reminds me of BCS.

JC Willard

Excellent - looking forward to this...

Armchair Rizzard

Very excited, excellent show. I'm hoping the Sopranos gets watched some day, considering it was the inspiration for shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but the Wire is also fantastic.

William Davis

Let’s go! Love this series. I’m looking forward to seeing you analyze the various moral dilemmas the show puts forth, along with all the amazing characters.

I feel this show is as much a documentary as a drama. Created by a cop and journalist, they really captured Baltimore, which is a character in its own right. Much is based on real people and events, and if you watch closely enough, some of the actual people appear in the show (as a different character). There's a reason this is one of the best shows of all time. Enjoy the ride!

LET'S GO! I'll be finally watching The Wire after all these years

Welp, after Succession I wasn't super sure I'd be staying subscribed but now I'm in for the long haul. Hellllllll yes bro.

One of the all-time great shows. An immersive game of chess played on both sides of the board by some supremely complex and badass characters.

Was I sure The Wire would win? Sheeeeeeeeit. 😉 (IYKYK)

Jon Bradley

This is going to be awesome

My favorite TV show. The show sets up so many parallels between American institutions, criminal organizations, and the grey areas of the system they both operate in. It’s real and raw, heartbreaking and hilarious. Can’t wait.

Riddim

Can't wait to see if and how you're going to dig certain characters 😆

Kana Kawase

I'm interested to see how you react to and digest the 2nd-5th season of the show. Each season is quite different, but they really come together to form an interesting whole in a way no other TV show I can think of has done. It's a series really strongly rooted in its themes.

Martin Heron

Yes! I think the denseness of the show, while initially a roadblock for newer viewers, becomes its greatest asset: it grows into being a show that has something to say about everything. Just when you think it's run out of steam, it pivots and grows and finds a new vitality. It's also really fucking funny!

This is going to be a hell of a ride for you James. "The Wire" is TV at its best.

Eligh Te

He is not prepared bro 😭 by the end of season one I guarantee it’s already rivaling as one of his favorite shows ever

Jarrod brehaut

YES! Dude, you are going to love this show. I promise. It's so complex, and honest and raw. The last season gets a little too wild, but it's still a really nuanced and thought-provoking show.

Legato

Woooo! I love this show so much, I have watched it like 6 times. It's good on every rewatch, and I love the fanbase for it. There is always interesting and in depth discussion with the fanbase. I can't wait to throw some thoughts out once we get to the eps.

Legato

Also, can I make a humble suggestion? I noticed sons of Anarchy on the poll, and I think the earlier FX show The Shield, is worthy of attention too. It's a very underrated show, but it walked so that Sons of Anarchy could run. It's a gritty cop drama inspired by the rampart police scandal (that inspired much ''cops are a gang'' media like GTA San Andreas and Training day). The Shield has god tier acting, an intense and well written story, the biggest shocking moments in TV history, and an amazing 5th and final seasons. It's almost criminal that it does not get remembered alongside The Wire, Sopranos, Oz and the rest.

Mathieu Paquin

I never watched it but always wanted to, I'll watch along for sure!

MrBooShoes

Probably one of the best written shows in terms of grounded and realistic portrayal of the inner city. The writers of the show had been journalists prior, for more than a decade in Baltimore, and i think the very grounded realism and interconnection of policing, economics, politics, media and education reflect that quite well.

Parker Holmes

The way it shows socialization through drama

Joseph

This is about to be awesome!

Ken North

The only show to make me cry twice

All the pieces matter...
