Is 'The Wire' the greatest ever tv show?

[jimharri]

No.

 

[Dirty Harry]

how Omar died was just genius

Not checked this out yet but my mate said the little kid who shot him featured in a much earlier episode. After the big shoot out at the stash house where Kimmy got killed some kids are playing shoot out as the police conduct their investigations at the crime scene. One of them says "I'm Omar' and pretends to shoot another kid, apparently this was the boy who eventually shot Omar.

Kenard was in quite a few episodes mate, he also took Namon's stash and Michael gave him a good beating for it.

Yes.

Never seen it so possibly, but my vote goes to Hill St Blues ...

 

[Bill Walker]

No

The Prisoner was THE best :)

 

[1961_vintage]

I would say yes, undoubtedly and unequivocally so. And now that question has been answered, here's one of my favourite scenes

I've nearly finished the first series and so far I think the programme is very overrated. It's quite decent, but so far I haven't seen anything to make me agree with people who say it's THE best show ever. I think it's quite slow moving. Maybe it gets better in later series?

I really liked Spiral & Braquo which are both French.
