I'm loving this series. All the HBO shows ive seen Sopranos, OZ and Big Love are good but I have to say The Wire stands out above these and in comparison to the other mediocre dramas that pass for standard television these days it comes accross as really clever yet entertaining. Gota love Omar and McNulty the perfect examples of the flawed hero. I’m totally with you on this. I’m loving this series.

The Wire is right up there with The Sopranos in terms of plot/character development and multi-layered nuance. In many ways, it's more rewarding. I'm half way through the third season and it just keeps getting better.HBO shows are a great example of the kind of sophisticated art that can be created when mainstream advertisers are denied deity status by networks.
