The Wire — Season One

I’m watching season one of The Wire. Why? Several blogs (kottke.org, 43 Folders) that I read have raved about The Wire being the best television series ever made.

Merlin Mann on The Wire:

I’m one of the many people who consider The Wire to be the best series that’s ever appeared on television; my wife and I have watched the first (and, in my opinion, best) four seasons at least three times.

I’m on episode 7 of season one and it’s starting to get good. The show requires a lot of patience and if you don’t pay attention, you’ll lose your way pretty quickly. One of the best television shows ever? I’m not completely sold. Yet.
