I think I'll have to rent the series. Sounds great.
I did this with "Dexter" got completely hooked and watch the first 2 seasons in a day. It's our favorite show on TV now.

That's what i did. Started with Dexter from the Library and got hooked immediately and now have watched every episode. And a few people told me how good the Wire was and so i gave it a shot. And i emphasize they all told me to give it a few episodes so you might not get hooked on the first three or four but by episode 8, you are totally drawn in and hooked. It amazes me that something this good can get lost in the cracks. I mean, it didn't even get any Emmy's for gosh sakes! I think CSI shows have their place because they are kind of cool but nothing compares to the raw realism and power of The Wire. I think it's as good as the Sopranos was. Maybe that's why HBO didn't get behind it as much because they were too busy getting accolades for the Sopranos. Definitely check it out.
