Forum Overview :: The Wire :: I didn't watch it for a long time because the theme song was terrible.

[quote name="Fussbett"]It's a bad white blues Tom Waits song to begin with, but the cover version on season 1 is even whiter and bluesier and it scared me off the show for years. But then everyone told me it was awesome and I believed them, unlike cynical FullofKittens. I only finished season 5 like two months ago after a break from the show and holy fuck, season 5, people.[/quote]
