A New Wire Fan

It took 9 episodes of season 1, but I'm now fully vested in the Wire. I can't wait to see what happens next. It started out as an interesting police procedural, but now they took it to the next level, and I care about what happens to the characters. Plus it's set in Baltimore, which is only about an hour away from me. Unfortunately, there are five seasons of this stuff, so I'll be watching it for a while.
