I've just ordered the first season on dvd - my homies tell me it's immense. Has anyone watched it?

Haven't seen a single episode (yet) - and I have series 1 AND 2 on DVD!! I've heard over and over again that it's the greatest series ever and Charlie Brooker loves it so much he did a documentary about it which is a good enough recommendation for me... 8 )

You won't be able to , they're all cliffhanger endings and the first season is so good you'll want to keep on watching them.

I'm up to season S5E08 now. I watched the first 3 seasons in the space of one week.

yeah sounds good to me. I've also just started to download and watch Dirty Sexy Money and Chuck, both of which I am enjoying. But yeah, when do you want to start? we should get more people to join in. I have it on .avi if anyone is interested?

One thing I have to say , you will be blown away by the quality of the cast. NYPD Blue had some great actors in it , but The Wire puts that to shame. The likes of Omar, Bubbles and the street kids will literally leave you speechless.

It's arrived. Talk to me, fellow Wire virgins...

Just watched the first episode and it has whet my appetite for more...
