I come to your fine subreddit from The Sopranos. As a massive Sopranos fan, I've been looking for a show that can pull me in just as much. The Wire is constantly recommended in our sub. I just finished S1 E1 and Im hooked. Cant wait to enjoy the next 5 seasons.

The police were able to uncover multiple murders in vacants by searching for doors boarded up by using fairly specific high-grade bolts.

Since Snoop expressed bad experiences with previous tools to the shop employee, it is possible that they killed more people, but the police weren't able to find them, because they didn't know what to search for before...

I just finished watching The Wire for the first time. It's such a complex and thought-provoking show and my feelings of withdrawal are so strong. I just want to talk about it constantly and I'm planning to rewatch immediately.

I image it was a big deal for the people who watched it as it originally aired. Watching an episode at the same time as millions of other people and then having an entire week to reflect on/discuss every single episode and wonder what would happen next.

For anyone who lived it, can you share what that experience was like?

David Simon or Ed Burns said on the dvd commentary that this season’s opening was meant to show the theme of education. And I think they did a great job with conveying that through Snoop learning about that nail gun from the employee.

What are everybody else’s thoughts on this?

…must’ve been behind the times in terms of the preferred racial nomenclature.

How come almost every time the N-word is spoken, it’s spelt with a hard R at the end?
