Worst theme music of all time?



I'm just starting Season 2, and it's 87 times worse than the S1 opening theme. My only gripe so far, and it's a big one. Seriously I can't fast forward quickly enough. Great show though and seserving of the hype.




Please no spoilers, yo.

I liked the theme as it changed over the seasons, it kind of set the tone for the season.  If you don't like it, then fast forward 1 minute and 40 seconds...that will get you through the intro for pretty much any HBO series.



The wire is in my top 3 series of all time (Breaking Bad, and Deadwood are the others...GoT hasn't finished yet so I'm not counting that yet).



Most folks think season 2 was the weakest season.  The others are stellar.

My buddies and I all call the 200ml Jameson flasks "McNulty's."

At a wedding and the bar isn't open yet? "Who's got the McNulty?"

Concert? You bet you'll find a McNulty.

Funeral? LOTS of McNulty's to be found.

The season 4 version of the theme song was the best.

And the best season theme is whichever one Tom Waits does (season2?).

Yep. The Wire is, perhaps, the bast show ever made. But Season 2 is about the worst of the bunch. Picks up again with 3, though.

"My wife will smell the cheatin'!"

I always got a kick out of one of Prop Joe's guys talking about Omar:  "I hate that motherfucker so much, I'mma kill him twice!"
Season 2 was good, because it showed how Baltimore was dying and losing its working class.

I liked the changing theme songs, but frankly I just fast forward through it.  If I'm going to watch six episodes in one night I gotta save time where I can.

Season 2 was probably my favorite *shrug*.

Steve Earls version of the opening song is the best (season 5?)

Maybe the best TV series of all time.  A lot of it is lifted from real life, down to the low tech encryption method the gangsters used. I thought the same thing about the second season music, it gets better, the show gets better after the second season too, imo.

Season 2 isn't bad in hindsight, but it throws everyone off on the first viewing.

Ultimately, the show is a portrait of Baltimore (and the docks and paper are necessary).
