I'm into the second season and love the show. I grew up not far from Baltimore and I can assure you the English guy who plays McNulty nailed the Baltimore accent..
There is some very graphic language but I think in adds authenticity. Just be forewarned there are a lot of 4 letter words..
I highly recommend the series..

I have to say I couldnt watch it if it didnt have 4 letter words. I wouldnt be able to take it seriously if the dealers ran through the streets shouting "Damn you muddy funsters"
I cant wait.
BTW "Passions" came in for a HUGE amount of stick in the programme. Is it that bad ? :wah:
Don't watch Passions so I wouldn't know.
Enjoy The Wire, if you have questions about Baltimore let me know.

ARNIE, it is another one of HBO's best. I rank it right up there with DEADWOOD, SIX FEET UNDER, AND ROME. Very good show the new season just started, you will love it, sometime its a bit gritty but excellent.
ALOHA!!
