    this board hypes it a lot...personally, I put it tied with the Shield for best cop shows...the two are seperate beasts though

    i don't know if i would classify the wire as a cop show. it just has so many other angles

    that is true...it focus on every aspect of the city as it relates to politics, law enforcement and crime

    Re: The Wire

    This is what makes it great. People that understate its greatness do not appreciate the complete package that it presents. Each season explores a different aspect of the city, and they are all connected. It is one of the greatest stories told in any medium of our generation. Top to bottom, the show is near perfect.

    Re: The Wire

    thats the nice part about it...while other shows best seasons are argued in terms of quality, the wire's season are argued because of the storyline from that season...you may like the ports story from s2 while i may prefer the schools story from s4...all the while the quality remains tremendous

    Re: The Wire

    Ralf first go to thepiratebay.org

    search for "the wire season"
    click on SE in the right corner next to the torrentz. this shows the torrance with the most seeds first and then the one with the 2nd most and so on.
    you have only seached for season so that means every season torrance comes up.
    download the seasons you need ofc the ones with most seeders for the best speed.

    anymore problems?

    Just finished season 3. Kind of upset the way Stinger and Avon's run ended. Pretty anticlimactic if you ask me.

    Watching it a second time has made it much better for me. I'm halfway through season 3 right now, and am enjoying it more than I did the first time I watched it, and I loved it back then.

    What places The Wire in a completely different stratosphere from everything else that has ever aired on television is that beyond its incredible entertainment value, it is vitally important and relevant.

    The Wire is a cerebral commentary on our society.

    The Shield is basically the commish running around in a tight t-shirt, kicking the holy shit out of beaners.

    One stupid question. At the very end when McNulty
    is with the bum and says "we're home" they are in Cleveland, right?

    Hm. Hard to choose between those two. I vastly preferred the Barksdale crew so obviously I loved Avon and String both.

    Re: The Wire

    Back to the OP's original question, is there a better way to stream The Wire online? Or any other good shows? You say download torrance but that is not always possible, ie on work computers or public computers.

    Question 2, how many gigs of memory do all five seasons take up on your hard drive if you DL the torrance?
