The Wire - Invitation to the Set (Season 5 Preview)

Pop culture post of the day... at this point, the only excuse not to watch The Wire is that you don't have HBO. Listen... trust me... go to Blockbuster, Netflix, or your favorite video rental agency (or if you have HBO, visit HBO On Demand which now has seasons 1 and part of 2 up), and over the next two months, your homework assignment is to watch Seasons 1-4. The Wire is hands down the greatest show to ever appear on television. There really can be no debate about this. Furthermore, it really hits home for those of us who have spent some time living in Baltimore. So what the hell are you waiting for? Get out there and catch up. Oh, and for the record, I was up on The Wire from the start of Season 2, way before Bill Simmons, Entertainment Weekly, and the rest of pop culture America started breathing down David Simon's jock.

Also, here's how it normally progresses:

Season 1, Episode 1: What the hell are they saying? Who are all these characters? Who's alligned with who?? This sucks.

Season 1, Episode 2: Woah, alright, so I'm starting to understand this a little bit, but I'm still kind of iffy.

Season 1, Episode 3: Hooked.

Finale of Season 1: After you exhale and sit on your couch for two minutes processing how incredible the season finale was, you immediately start counting down the days until you can get to Season 2.

Trust me, this happened to the wife. It will happen to anybody who appreciates incredible storytelling, fantastic acting, and character development that is unparalleled.
