So I started it not too long ago. Burned thru season 1 and was intrigued but didn't quite get it.

Season 2 finished last week now that I'm back home in Indy.

Watch ep 3.10, and it's 1130 and I wasn't quite ready for bed, so I watch 3.11. Now I have to finish the season and I have to be at work early tomorrow.

[expletive] you guys.

Sheeeeeeiiitttt. We've all been there. We've all tried to squeeze in just one more episode even though we had to get up in a handful of hours. That's called paying your Wire dues.

Watching an entire season of the Wire and then grabbing the next season is called "the re-up."

Season 4 is the best season of television in television history.

I can't argue with that at all. Season 4 is a truly great show at its absolute height.
