    half way through season 3 and it is boring the * off of me . season 2 was better . season 1 was miles better.

    This show is not in the same stratesphere as Breaking Bad , Soprano's or Mad Men .

    Finished season 2 last night, absolutely superb so far. Thought season 2 was even better than 1.

    Sobatka storyline was brilliant, and I am dying to see how the whole avon barksdale/stringer situation pans out.

    The thrird and fourth seasons are probably the most popular.

    It's such a good show though,too hard to choose a favourite series.

    Is the fifth season regarded as the weakest one then? Even if it was half as good as what I have watched already then I'll be happy enough.

    Find it bizarre that some people think this show is boring.

    I think it's regarded as the weakest,but it's far from disappointing,I loved how they tie it all up.

    A lot of people seem to struggle with the first couple of episodes of series 1.

    The Sopranos is my favourite, but I would definitely agree that The Wire feels the most realistic out of all of those shows. Acting is superb in it as well, that and Sopranos are on a par for me when it comes to Characters/Actors.

    Kenard is the biggest gangster in the whole show.

    Loved this show but have been watching it in phases over about 3 years.

    Season 2 was great probably my favourite. A lot said it wasn't good.

    Just started season 5 after a few weeks break. Really struggling on ep.2 about mid way through can't seem to stay focused. Bit lost I think does it pick up?

    Thought Season 1 was really long and struggled to watch it, I thought season 2 and 3 was a lot better and then started to lose interest in the remaining seasons.

    The last one I didn't really enjoy, thought the first 4 were much better.
