Don't kill me, and as I just said in the Deadwood thread, I have Deadwood above The Wire now. Not really a question of what is better, more what I enjoy. Both just unbelievable programs and compulsory viewing.

How do you return to regular TV shows once you've watched The Wire? Is it possible?

Try Homicide: Life On The Street.

To let flight23 and anyone else know Life On The Street is set in the same city as the wire.This show is based on a book by Davis simon key writer on the wire.I have watched a few early eps the time change is a shock and funny cops smoking in the office and things that used to happened back then.Also try "the corner" again alot of the same actors/writers and set in the same city gives you good insight of being of the drug problems in that city.

Homicide LOTS is possibly my favourite TV series of all time. I bought the limited edition box set on Amazon and in quick time watched all 122 episodes and the subsequent movie. Such great actors: G, Pembleton, Bayliss, Kellerman, Lewis, Munch. But how about the guests? Vincent D'Onofrio, Mekhi Phifer, Robin Williams, Chris Meloni, Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Peter Gallagher, Paul Giamatti, Luis Guzmán, Jake Gyllenhaal, Neil Patrick Harris, James Earl Jones, Julianna Margulies, David Morse, Chris Rock, Jerry Stiller, Eric Stoltz, Elijah Wood, amongst many others.

Good get. I knew I forgot one.

Recently finished watching the 2nd series of Treme. Not a patch on The Wire, but some great moments, writing and performances. Those who loved Bunk would have to love Antoine Batiste, his character in Treme. You also get Lester as one of the main characters.

In bit parts I have seen Prez and Ziggy (series 2).

Finally getting around to giving this a look after hearing nothing but good things, I am 3 episodes in and TBH was that unimpressed by the 1st episode was nearly going to leave it there.

Is it likely to grow on me?

How'd it end up going for you? I thought the first episode was funny probably an episode you appreciate mote after seeing the whole series first.

In 2010 I watched the first three episodes then left it for some reason. Only recently came back to it. Watched the first three episodes again, really enjoyed it, then watched what I thought was the fourth episodes but turns out was the ninth. Didn't trigger until I saw the name of the DVD when I ejected it. Weird thing was the 4th and 9th pretty much match up. Omar shoots that guy in the knee and then in the ninth we see him come back in a brace. Wallis mentions going back to school after being shook up by the stick-up.

Going to watch the fourth now. Going to be a bit weird though.
