To me it's the best show ever made, many get put off by it being quite slow at the start but trust me, it gets epic.

Yup. My second favourite, with band of brothers being my favourite.
Just echoing what I've said in the thread that it is dedicated to this TV show.....
It's epic! But it's not your average idiot watch. You actually have to put some effort in and pay attention, unlike a great deal of dross out there today. Lots of people are put off by the first few episodes because of the language barrier, stick with it. I think it took me 4-5 episodes in to Season 1 before it took me!

This. As well as the fact it feels like you have 20 billion characters thrown at you at first
, well worth sticking with though.

Very good show - but be prepared to put the effort in at the beginning!
I was skeptical at first when I repeatedly heard people claiming it was the best TV show ever.
How wrong I was.
It truly is, for the most part due to the character development and continuation of themes and main plot throughout all of the series, whilst retaining each season's own plot.
Proud of the British actors too in this

It's the best TV drama made, bar none.
The first couple of seasons of The West Wing are as good, but the later ones means it loses on points. The Wire is wonderfully consistent and the change in theme for each season works very well.

I've just starting watching it from Season 2, I've only watched 2 episodes and I'm finding it hard to tell which are the goodies and which are the baddies.
