Ahhh...soon time for the 5th season...sweet bliss. As mentioned above this wonderful series demands patience...The Wire doesn't dumb down anything at all in order to cater the larger crowd. It's hands down the best TV-series ever in my book. Only Nip/Tuck comes close.
No main characters, some story arcs span over all the seasons. It's more like a novel in pacing. Excellent dialog and fantastic acting. Writers like Pelecanos and Lehane have written parts of the script.
Quotes like this:
"What's the most usless thing on a woman?"
"A drunken Irishman"
"Yeah, but you're not exactly Irish, are you, McNulty?"
"I've had fourteen shots of Jameson, how's that for green?"
