    thus is my review of what started as an excellent TV series - they should have stopped after series 1
    thanks for confirming my suspicions,

    exactly the reason why I stopped watching after Season 3 after fans reported the same thing

    I always felt Dutch got it easy, surely he was asking for something to happen to him,

    he could have made the perfect plant as a victim of the team games

    the final scene was quite strong and telling, a good ending and a bad ending at the same time

    Got any links? Didn't think so. You can always find someone who doesn't like something.

    Season 4 gets a 98 on Metacritic (the highest rating of a season of any TV show that's on their site)- The Wire - Season 4 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic

    Or you can take the opinion of someone who's never watched it...

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    That's not someone, it's 21 critics and 421 people who have watched series 4 that gave that rating, a lot more reliable than Butterfly's Belgian subtitle reading mate

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm all for watching it, in fact I just started, the opening scene with the kid buying the HILTI nail gun is priceless.....

    The people who say don't watch it because they have heard it's no good are the lemmings to which I was referring....

    I guess it's all about taste and opinions when it comes to TV

    but a number of fans who watched it said it was a bit of a letdown, not necessarily making it a bad show, but just boring

    I might still go for it eventually since I have nothing to watch these days, and it has been a long time since Season 3, so for me it will be like watching a whole new series

    it's not about following simply an advice on something you haven't watched, it's about spoiling the whole series with a bad season like it happens too many times with American TV

    But if you don't watch it how do you know it will spoil the series?

    fans know better

    90% of the time, the real fans are actually correct. Don't listen to critics, they have a different benchmark and might be surrounded by so much garbage watching, that eventually anything a bit better than the average becomes "extraordinary"

    Got season 7 of The Shield cocked n loaded. Don't wanna watch it...

    Saying that I'm still to watch one single episode of Game of Thrones so my life may have some purpose after all.

    ^^ Never seen an episode of Game of Thrones!

    That is like saying you have never felt the loving touch and caress of a beautiful woman.
    You, my son are missing out big time.

    I'll probably be in mourning for a couple of weeks over the loss of The Shield, but when I bounce back, Game of Thrones will be first on the agenda.

    Is Vic Mackey in it, per chance?

    ^ Butterfly is right, for once.
    He's dying to ruin the end of season 7 of your Shield though, Somtam

    I know. He deserves to be vigorously beasted by an angry hippo with gnorrhea and diarrhea.

    ^^ I can only say that Season 7 is getting more dark than the others,

    and that the shit hits the fan in the worst possible way eventually

    Bugger me, I'm on my third attempt to get into Game of Thrones. I end up going to the fridge halfway through the third episode, then checking work emails, which subsequently ends up with me surfing the web, totally forgetting about the program. I haven't heard one person say a bad word about it, yet I just can't gel with it.

    We're off to the farm to avoid the 5 days of Songkran mayhem. No internet or TV to distract me, so maybe I can fully concentrate on those titties (not too interested in the swords, though)!
