It was David Simon who ended the show but I think there was some pressure to get the last season done.

The final season is only ten episodes while all the other are either 12 or 13 episodes and it shows and why I put it last. Having said that, and not to give too much away but I think the police story in the fifth season is one of the best but ten episodes was not long enough to fully tell it IMO. Hope thats not too much of a spoiler but I find it hard to talk about it without spoilers cuz I like it so much and have so much to say on it.

Incidentally, where are you watching it? I remember when I last watched it I had to download it as they were charging for each episode on youtube and I aint paying.

Ah that’s fine GiRTh :thumbs: I’m never normally bothered by spoilers :laugh: I’ve already watched quite a few clips on YouTube so I’m aware how things turn out for certain characters.

I’ve actually bought the DVD box set from Cex. I was originally going to watch the episodes on Amazon Prime because I have a subscription that I pay monthly for, but it turns out you have to actually buy the series on there as well. The price seemed expensive so I tried to find a DVD boxset and it worked out a lot cheaper. HBO series are always a bit of pain for me to watch I can never find anywhere online to actually watch them for free.

That makes sense. I borrowed it from my local library back in 2003. Its was full price for the DVD's - 50 quid - and that was far too rich or me at the time. :laugh:

You should write a review of each episode as you watch it.

The dvd boxset cost me £15 for all seasons. On Amazon Prime it would’ve cost me £20 just for season 1 on its own :skull:

I was actually going to do this but I didn’t know if anyone here had seen the show before. I haven’t had the time to start Series 2 yet but I have a week off work after this Friday so I’m gonna just watch S1 again through this week and start S2 on the weekend :thumbs:

So who was your favourite character/s in a tv series eg The Wire ~ Omar
 

All the lovers of The Wire will also love the ‘kinda prequel’ mini series ..

As I recall it was set in the same area .. same writers and production team with many of the same actors ..except I think a few of the actors had role reversals.. drug dealers in first series played Police in The Wire ..

It’s a while since I watched it tbf


The Corner was the series ..

I think they're now part of the box set so he should already have them. There's three - Jimmy and Bunk first meeting, Young Omar and Young Prop Joe

Get them all watched. Just to see how the characters develop. Its a show where you can watch episodes over again but there are some amazing plot line coming up that you will definitely want to watch again.

I might watch them again too. I think it was more like a year ago that I last watched it so time for a refresh.

Thanks Zizu, I’ll be sure to check this out once I get the chance :thumbs:

I watched it a third time last year BUT only the scenes featuring Marlo !!
His character kinda fascinated me so much ..
