I watched the wire several years ago, not when it aired but shortly after. I’m one who thinks this is possibly the best show ever, and if not definitely in the top three. I’m really enjoying your coverage. It’s a great mix of someone who has obviously seen and loved the show for years and someone who is seeing it for the first time. You guys are doing a great job and I really appreciate it. You’re doing this amazing show justice. And that’s a significant achievement.
I’m on my first rewatch of this brilliant series, and this is a great companion podcast. Even though I’ve seen The Wire once before, it’s been a while so I appreciate that there are no spoilers whatsoever. Also, the hosts stay on topic, which is fantastic. Lastly, I love the soundbites sprinkled throughout the episodes. Definitely plan to keep listening!
Only a couple episodes in, but overall a great pod! Good balance between a newcomer and veteran of the wireverse. Keep up the great work!
