I thought that was your writing it but then I noticed that it was far too interesting.
I agree, season 1 of the wire ranks up there. I don't know about the best ever but it is definitly up there. Season 1 of the shield was better in my opinion and the first 2 seasons of the sopranos is also in the elite. The wire as well as the sopranos have the advantage of being on HBO, which besides 9 times out of 10 puts out among the best TV series, also doesnt have to worry as much about network sponsors, but the shield consistently pushes the envelope.
Though I do agree, Omar is up there only with Al Swearengen of Deadwood as neck and neck my favorite baddies, of course as the writer mentioned, adebisi was a god.
I also profusely agree that I would much rather discover a show on my own, than be told I must watch it. Most of the shows I have become addicted to are shows I started watching waaaay past their premieres. It may be two fold, I am very anal when it comes to TV series, I have to see every single episode, if I miss the season premiere, I will not watch the show and thats happened even with shows I wanted to watch. For example I was very looking forward to when six feet under was starting and I missed the 1st episode and then never got to see it again and I didnt watch it until I got season one on dvd, by that time they were in season 4.
Then there are shows like nip/tuck which I never thought I would like, then on a whim I bought season 1 cause I wasnt feeling well and needed something to watch, plus it was only 15 bucks priced down on sale from 50. I immediatly became addicted to the show, same for smallville. Also I love the fact I can watch them show after show, like catching up on 5 years worth of smallville in 3 months.
Probably the next show I am thinking of catching up on is 24, though I havent felt the urge yet.
