The Wire is just excellent, however, i must say that i am watching episode 4 of season 4. And this is so far the most boring season, even season 1 was better.
Season 4 is generally considered to be the Wire's best season.
You kidding right? So far it sucks, maybe its because i am still at the beginning.
What i see in this show is, the black gangs. They are going through what the Italian mobsters went through in early 20s and 30s.
