just watched the first 3 episodes of season 1...definitely a great show...its almost depressing though, since it seems so accurate...

It only gets better. Season two is a little boring at times but still great as a whole. I'm watching all of the seasons for the 2nd time (HBO on-demand). This is, without a doubt, the best cop show of all time.

I plowed through 5 episodes of season 4 last night. I love this show.

Anyone notice all the actors from the Wire appearing everywhere lately? People are hiring them for all kinds fo things.

Daniels, is the boss on Fringe, not to mention he's Abaddon on Lost.
Michael, is the lead guy on 90210(my wife watched last night while I watched the Cards on the internets).
Lester was the kingpin of the conspiracy on Damages.
Bubbles was on Heroes.
Herk is on Entourage as Vinny's felon friend.

There's more than one reason those actors loved working with that screaming liberal David Simon.

Stringer Bell on the Office and that stalker movie that just came out. Avon Barksdale is in that movie with Mos Def that just came out.

stringer isn't as intimidating nwo that i've seen him (first) as charles on the office...and everytime he's on screen, i "hear" thrill saying "i wanted Jim to lay the smack down on Stringer Bell."

That's the one that focused on the youth and schools, right?
Amazing season.
What a system we have.
