whoa.

i wish i could watch the wire for the first time again.

I think it took me 4 failed attempts to get into The Wire before it stuck. Problem being that I almost always am multitasking with the TV on, and the show takes about 3 or 4 episodes of slow-burn world building before you can get into it. You actually have to pay attention.

I think I’ve said this before here, but I’ve gotten 5-6 episodes into The Wire & I just can’t keep going. It’s like a TBS knock off of what everyone claims it’s supposed to be.

I also did my future self if favor by not watching GOT until a few months before the final season started, so that was a good few months of catching up right into the end.

The Wire, like most David Simon shows, is an incredibly slow burn. He takes a lot of time with character development that very much pays off later. I didn't watch the wire while it was on the air, I can't imagine many did. Back then HBO didn't give a solitary crap about ratings, they wanted Emmys. The show became a cult hit because the buzz eventually became the reason to watch, so there was something to gain by waiting it out. It's also worth noting that the wire became a cult hit before streaming platforms were so prevalent. Now there are so many options that it's really hard to ask someone to sit through 2/3 of a season of character development.

I feel like past Spracs did a solid to future Spracs and never watched The Sopranos until now. A gift to the future.

Do you guys ever do favors for your future selves? I'm not talking monetarily or materialistically.

Where are you in the watch?

Mid-late Season 2, I think.
That is a great season. Richie is such an amazing character.

I read the book back in the 90s and then saw the movie starring Harrison Ford and this series is much better than the movie was.

So much of season 2 is just watching them watch an animated screen of shipping containers.

I've been watching Psych mostly as background to whatever task I'm doing.  Why doesn't he just be a detective?

He has a felony record for stealing a car.

His dad really wanted him to become a cop so some people think Shawn stole the car for the sole purpose of getting the felony and disqualifying himself from a career as a police officer, and sticking it to his father in the process.

Seems like a feature if he wants to run for POTUS.

After season 1 I thought there was nothing they could do for a season 2.  But season 2 ended up being better than 1.

After episode one I’m pretty sure I know what the season finale is gonna be.  SPOILERS (???) BELOW






The judge ends up presiding over the trial of an innocent man charged with killing the motorcycle victim.

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but Carmella Soprano makes me feel a certain way, in my balls or vag.
