Introducing the missus to this. I haven't watched it in a good few years - I forgot just how good it is!

I enjoyed Sopranos but found it a hard slog in parts. I love the grittiness of the The Wire - didn't they use real gangsters for some of the roles?

It's one of those that constantly crops up in discussion as being blinding but apparently that's still not enough to make it in to my consciousness and made me actively seek out Ep. 1 lol

Edit: Someone convince me!

Dooo it! Do you like Idris Elba?

Loved it all - infact OP you have prompted me to re-watch it after I have finished re-watching Breaking Bad.

Nice one. We just finished GOT, and been debating what to start next (don't have a lot of time for TV). Decided to go for a classic.

Maybe we'll do Breaking Bad after - though we both watched bits and found it a little depressing, does that change at all?

I was a big fan of both this and the Unit!

What was the Unit like? Haven't heard of it.
