# The Wire is a very good television programme.

# Problem is, Omar hasn't been in it on BBC 2 yet, so nobody is going to know what you're on about.

# I know who Omar is
as I've been forced to watch clips of TheFriggingWire.

# No, I found it boring. The writing in the episode I've seen was very
middle-of-the-road. I'd probably be more inclined to give it more of a chance if people would stop foaming at the crotch every time it's mentioned, but then I'm a difficult wench like that.

# I felt similar about the first couple of episodes when I watched it, but it really starts coming together into an intriguing story after a few episodes.
It definitely isn't perfect, some of the characterisation of females in particular isn't that great, but I do maintain it's the best television drama I've ever seen.

# From what I've seen of people recently
it looks to be one of those flash-in-the-pan things. It's the best thing ever NOW, but then people said that about the Beatles and that wasn't ever true, not even at the time.

IMO, obviously.

It's really not. But then, that's just my opinion.

I saw the first series about three years ago on DVD.

formulaic Yankee trash. I'd rather watch the beast. And I'd rather poke my eyes out with a rusty spork than watch the beast.

considering i love Lost and Prison Break?
(I helped save b3ta! Victor Meldrew, Wed 1 Apr 2009, 13:24, archived)
# I do
But it's far deeper than either of those. It's probably more like a novel in that you can't dip in and out and still grasp the story. Crucial things happen off camera and are alluded to, etc. You really need to watch every episode with minimal gap between them.

# apparentl;y
there is some form of image challenge whereby you are to find some instructions via the medium of google images and then alter them somehow in order to make them funny.

Not that you could tell from most of the entries.

As always the only thing challenging about the compo seems to be reading the fucking instructions.

I quite like this compo.

Yes there have been some crap ones, but there's also been a lot of very strong hummus IMHO.

...nothing at all to do with the fact that I'm winning it ;)

# nothing against the challenge per se
just the fact that people latch on to a keyword ( instructions lol ) then proceed to post or worse, repost something totally unrelated to what's been asked of them. And they are serious.

# I sincerely hope you're joking.
It is one of the best pieces of television to have ever been aired.
But, that said, it's my opinion, so only of value to me, I guess.

Let's say rather that it's worth your time spent watching.

[challenge entry] I wouldn't normally
pearost crap images for the competition. But the board is so full of fail today I felt I had to do something - however poor - to improve it even a tiny bit.

And I'm all out of hummus.
