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.

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.

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.

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).
