+1 for me forgetting i ordered two sick dvd's and them arriving at my doorstep today.

first i got the wire season 4. i've watched up through season 3 because my roommate had those dvd's. I've been meaning to get season 4 for the longest time but have been bothered with school etc. if you havent seen this series it's got to be one of the most well produced TV series in the history of TV. the storyline is interesting and complex and all the characters are very unique. it's about the differing social "castes" in Baltimore, MD. and tries to depict them all neutrally. I highly recommend checking it out if you have HBO/On Demand.

The other DVD set I got was a recommendation from a friend. It's called "Traffik" and was a mini-series that was on British TV (Channel 4) in 1989. I read some reviews online and they were all great and I'm sort of into Crime stories so I thought I'd check it out.

If any of you guys have seen Traffik or have anything to say about the Wire do comment. If you got any suggestions for similar shows/movies I'd love to hear them.

p.s. The weather has been so nice lately, I think I'm one of those moody seasonal sally type people.

Cheers,

Nolan.

THE WIRE IS THE BOMB!!! also season 4 rocks, I haven't watched season 5 yet.

Who's your favourite character? I personally like Webay and Stringer Bell, and I can't stand mcnoulghty, and Avon is straight up gangsta. And i hate the lesbian bitch

Haha, that's so funny. Yeah I was way into the Barksdale crew over Marlo's crew. Stringer was pretty much the man. Marlo is definitely an interesting character though.

I really like a lot of the police characters too. I'd have to say overall Stringer was the best one so far though.

I really need to check out The Wire. Everybody keeps telling me it's so great and some have even said it is the best show ever created. I don't have HBO, so I'll have to rent it or order it.

the wire is my all-time favorite show. Extremely well produced, written, and the acting is actually very good too. Now I want to buy all the seasons

one of the actors on the wire was actually like the head guy in baltimore running drugs and killing ppl before he was on the show(presumably from the beginning). there are @ least 4 murders hes committed that are known but they could never tie them to him. this i know from a v reliable source.
