3. Mid season 2

I'm so hooked. When I'm on my way home, all I can think about is Keith, Rachel, Wire :)

5. The second season is very different than the other seasons

You should really start with season 1. All of them are good, for very different reasons.

8. I grew up a stone's throw away from what they show as Frank Sobotka's house

which is NOWHERE NEAR the rest of the neighborhood they depict in season two. But it is near the marine terminal. I drive by that divey little restaurant almost everyday. It's right by the Harbor tunnel. :)

2. Hell yeah.

I'm almost done with the first season and about to start the second. Great stuff, but there's so many characters and all the shit that's going on that I'm having kind of a hard time following it.

4. I just started season 2

It's very different from season 1, but still good.

7. It needs at least two viewings to get all the detail and nuances. n/t

10. There's an option on the Season 3 DVD that helps you out.

It's on at least one of the discs -- a character map that outlines which characters are tied to each other, and it's divided into "The Law" and "The Street."

11. The HBO site is also handy.

9. As Mayor of Baltimore and eventual Governor of Maryland, I agree.

It's the greatest show that no one ever heard of.

Check my screen name, if you don't believe me.
