I can't wait to see Simon's new project covering the war in Iraq. The Wire was absolutely the most incredible thing to ever appear on a television set.

you really have to watch from the beginning to appreciate it, hence the creator saying "fuck the casual viewers":)

Bingo, bango.

The Wire is very much like an good concept album without a standalone single...you can't really just pick it up anywhere along the line and really understand/enjoy it. It needs to be taken in as one big piece.
