@mloup can't comment as I reckon I must be the only person on the planet who never watched it. Maybe the Handsome Family and the first series of True Detective, but that's already been changed for the second series so probably not.
@simonp If you get one thing from your time on TIMJ it must be that you get on board with the greatest TV series to date. It may be bettered in the future, but for now it is in a league of its own. But don't take my word for it. Listen to this guy instead. https://youtu.be/ZLcquuO7sxg
"The song that bought someone a swimming pool. It wasn't one of us" I might have taken the liberty of paraphrasing, but you get the gist? A really good band and still going strong today.
@loboska that sounds lovely. I'll pay for the wine. I have no doubts I'd love The Wire, just one of those things I've never got round to. And it's a big commitment...

@BladeRunner Indeed - a magnificent TV series :)

Has one song ever been so indelibly linked with a TV show? And I mean a song, rather than a theme written specifically for it.

@simonp How about Way Down in the Hole + The Wire? Gotta be up there

@simonp Okay, I'm not going to bully you into this but, for the love of all good tv series, give it a go. I'll buy you dinner if you hate it.

cheers @Fullam. Generally, I agree with anything/everything that Charlie Booker says!
