Listen up, people. This is the best TV show that no one’s watching.
Drugs. Cops. Drugs. Dominic West. Drugs. What more could you want?
Seriously, though, the show is brilliantly written, acted and directed, it’s infinitely entertaining and carries a ridiculously important message, and why the fuck aren’t you watching it?
I’d never even heard of it until this one dude I’m banging* got me hooked on the DVDs. He was on season four already, but even just picking up there, I was hooked. I categorize men by the TV shows they got me hooked on. Kevin was South Park. Jeremy was Antiques Roadshow and Project Runway (sorry, Jer, I just totally called you out on that), Sean was Family Guy and West Wing (for the record, though, Sean was totally more gay than Jeremy), and the new dude’s got me hooked on The Wire. Men are for sex and TV shows. (You know, it’s probably that sort of thinking that keeps me perennially single. That and the tendency toward promiscuity. But I digress.) Anyway, I watched the entire first season over Christmas, and now I’m excited to start on season 2.
So now you’ve heard of it. So watch.
The Wire held its Season 5 premiere in Chelsea on Friday night.
*Don’t worry, Mom, he takes me out to dinner sometimes, too. And, if it’s any comfort, he hates what I do for a living, too.
Gorgeous, but I always get Dominic confusted with Ioan Gruffudd.
He’s…really hot? Maybe it’s just a bad pic. My boyfriend loves this show btw.
just googled them both…now Ioan is really hot! lol

Snow ball if ur a hottt chick I can be ur asap lol
eww, I want more Britney…
I freakin LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this show!!! It is the best show out there on tv, compared to the crap they try to make us watch! This show has story, GREAT characters & it seems to be about as real as it can get. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!
Dominic West as McNulty…def. one of my favorites on there!!! He is gorgeous, even when he played a drunk piece of shit on it, still loved him! ;) Every single person on that show is perfect!!!
YAY-it’s not about Britney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a show full of handsome black men you would pick the one white boy to show off…so so typical.
I laughed so hard when I read this! The guy I’m banging got me hooked on this show too! I too only watched season 4 and all it took was one episode to see that this show was worth watching! this is def one of the best shows on tv.
As a lover of good tv, I’m rather ashamed to say I still haven’t watched this show.
I actually saw a scene being filmed years ago in Baltimore, but despite a) vowing to watch after I saw the fliming, just to see what it was like, and b) everybody telling me how good it is, I still haven’t done so.
And now Beet has got in on the act. It’s a conspiracy! ;-)
Time to go find it on Amazon….
