The Wire

[adam]

Has anyone else been watching this show? A friend of mine has been raving about it for a year, and he played me an episode a while back, and I thought it seemed well-executed, but nothing special.

Two days ago, though, he lent me the first season so I could watch from the beginning and I'm 2/3 of the way through the season now. I'm hooked. This is spellbinding. %90 of the characters are awesome (particularly Omar and Bubbles, at this point). I can't get enough of this shit, and I can't wait to watch the rest of this series.

Please, no spoilers, I haven't even finished the first season.
