The ending to Alvarez' storyline was bizarre too. Hated that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
A lot of actors from The Wire is in it: Rawls, Herc, the campaign manager for Carcetti, Avon, Daniels etc.
All those other ones had already been mentioned, 'cept the campaign manager
Torquemada.. King of the night. He was creepy as feck!
He was annoying as feck!
Started watching this after seeing this thread an making me remember seeing it on TV when flicking through channels ages ago. Watched a few of them but the wheelie chair Matrix bloke is doing my head it, when he talks to the camera, ruins it. Some good bits though aside from that. Not sure if i'll give it another go or not.
I thought that at first but grew to like them. Some of them are interesting.
That too
What the feck was this?
Also, yeah lets just allow prisoners to have pet dogs in their cells.

Was weird, apparently because Harold Perrineau was filming The Matrix and couldn't do that episode.
Schillinger & Beecher
Bodie, Carver, Cheese, Brother Mouzone, Freamon and that greek fbi agent too.
Just started to watch it on Sky Atlantic...decent so far and reminds me of The Wire (which I controversially like but not love). Anyway, the one thing that's annoying me is the guy in the wheelchair (Wikipedia tells me it's Augustus Hill)...Jesus, his 'philosophies/monologues would be deemed embarrassingly obvious, even for a 14 year old....they are really bad and doing my fecking head in - is it like that the whole way through? I can't believe that anyone would think it a good idea.
Probably the best, if not one of the best, inmate background segments.
Great show that gets ridiculous towards the end.
After season 4 when HBO let all off their writers and budget go towards The Sopranos effectively ended the shows quality.
Indeed. The drop-off in quality at that time is pretty staggering when you think about. For me the show should have ended with
Adebisi's death.
Worst bit for me
The ageing pill
It was a silly show, but quite fun.
I packed it in after the
ageing pill, possibly the dumbest storyline of all time
I saw this when it was on channel 4 at like 2.00am years ago. It was a landmark show because there had just been nothing like it on TV before. I would say it started the 'golden age of television'.

Execution of Shirley B was hard to watch, loved that show.
Yeah, stopped watching soon after its introductionWorst bit for me
The ageing pill
The drop in quality was shocking, the first seasons were nothing short of amazing
Laid up on the sofa all day with tonsillitis. Binged watched a lot of this.
Absolutely love it. Extremely far fetched at times but entertaining.

Sorry to post again but yes! So yes!
It really annoys me and I cringe everytime it happens.
Wow, when was it on originally? I remember watching it years ago- must have been 2000-2004, when I was at my first proper job.
I remember it being violent and entertaining. And bumming.
There's even bumming in the credits, isn't there?
Yeah!It was great but a bit dated now, especially the latter seasons. I remember watching it when it came out, it was the precursor to The Sopranos, The Wire and so on.
Sopranos is my favourite tv show of all time.
Yeah this is very dated and extremely rough around the edges.
Enjoying it though.
I am not sure mate I am catching up on Sky Boxsets.
Onto Season 4 now. Apparently it all goes downhill from here.
How does it seem dated? So long since I watched it and wondering whether it's revisiting it. It's on Sky boxsets then?
It just looks a bit old now because, well, it is!
Yes mate it's on Sky Boxsets under Dramas.
No, fair point. I guess it's not HD which doesn't help? Might have a look back at a couple for nostalgia's sake. Finding out that Oz and Brass Eye are now so old makes me feel old
He is definetly a RAWK poster
I might come back to this, never finished it
Man this is awful now. Seasons 1-3 were great but I am having trouble sticking with it now.
Might as well finish it as I am on Season 6 but it's tough going.
The writing is woeful at times.

When they introduced the ageing drug as an alternative way of doing time I was done.
Yeah that was so bad.
O'Reilly's brother is the worst actor ever too. Such a pointless character - I cringe every time he's in a scene.
So...only season 1 to 3 are worth it?
