I watched the first half of season 2 again in dublin, and liked it a lot more than first time. Think i probably like it as much as season 1 - wish i'd had the time to watch it all.

It took a long time to not hate them for killing Wallace.
I've watched the first four seasons at least three times 
Was it just me or did Avon seem not all there, especially in season 1

I'm glad other people feel that way about Wallace

re; jef
When I think about it this show has too many subplots, and it's pretty ambitious but also frustrating cause it makes the good characters miss out on a lot of screen time, sometimes whole episodes

nas it doesn't have too many subplots - they're all pretty vital to the general story and complement each other
halfway through season 3 still (haven't really had a chance to sit down in a while)
wallace getting killed did suck, poor kid
by the way, i know for a fact there's people on season 1 - so edit title or OP to say SPOLIERS!!!

Well there's obviously going to be spoilers if he says he's watched the first two series unless his post was just 'It's really good'

The great thing about The Wire is that it is a web of subplots connected to a major plot. McNulty is the closest thing to a star and even then they use him sparingly at times. It is frustrating that we don't see more of the good characters, I' still angry that they cut the final season from 13 to 10 episodes. Personally I could watch months of The Wire, but I keep telling myself, if there was more of it then it wouldn;t be as good.
That almost makes it ok

It's a blessing in disguise. You don't want to rush it.

i dunno man, when i watched a series i'd do it in as few viewings as possible. once or twice i had like four or five episodes after another. christ.
it's just easier to appreciate as one big piece. and i get pissed off when episodes end when i want MORE.

oh well if we're counting 24 hours as a day then i'd be worried as to how many i mighta watched. i count a day from when i wake up to when i sleep though innit.

I know but then you watch a whole series in a day or two and you realise that there won't be any more for months, or for me now, ever

I finished season 3, this was the best one imo

Season 4 is the best of the series.
Reckon it goes 4, 5, 3, 1, 2. But all of them amazing.
