One of the best shows ever.......IMHO
Such a great character driven show
Everyone in it is top notch
and the storytelling is brilliant

yes, very good first episode
I'm glad they're bringing it back to the streets. The last season was interesting, but the ship yard just isn't as entertaining as the crime fighting in the ghetto.

for me it's the best show ever

I'm from Baltimore, and all for this show... But come on... I knew there was a reason The Wire wasn't on my Sunday line-up. The writing is really shitty.

my favorite show, but it's taking some time for my girlfriend to come around to it. that's probably because i started watching it from the beginning and she's still catching up. you have to admit that, while it is an amazing dramatic achievement, as a tv series it comes with quite a learning curve for the uninitiated.

I don't want to be negative, but when I watch it, I think of New Jack City, but with worse acting. :)

I was going to watch it last night...but when they showed the background story....clip at the beginning....i got lost..so I watched the oil for food thing on FOX.

here's the episode guide for the first two seasons. Might be a bit much to read, but it can help to understand what's going on.
