Hi all, I am nowimnothing, long time avclub lurker. I have been working my way through several series ever since I got a treadmill last Spring. So far I blew through seasons 1-7 of Dexter, season 1 of Boardwalk Empire and Season 3 of Game of Thrones. I was waiting on the last season of Dexter just before Christmas when I decided to finally take the plunge on The Wire. Of course I had heard you all talk about it incessantly so it has been on my list for a while. After I watched the first couple of episodes I was disappointed to see that the AVClub reviews did not pick up until the last season.
I do not think I will be posting lengthy reviews. I am more interested in all your comments, either from veterans of the show or new watchers like me. I will probably just post a short summary and a few thoughts on each episode and see where the conversation goes from there. I am not sure what we will do when we get to the last season, we can cross that bridge when we get to it. I should be posting fairly regularly. I tend to watch 2-3 episodes a week on my treadmill.
I know it is now an old show but let's try to avoid major spoilers. I have been spoiled a bit already and I will try to keep those out of my reviews. That being said I am not one of those who screams and sticks their head in that sand at the slightest hint of a spoiler, let's just keep it reasonable for newbies.
