Re: The Wire

I'd say 1, 2 & 4 are the strongest seasons. Probably in that order. I think bodie, omar & the greek are my favourite characters. "...and i'm not even greek" The greek is easy the most powerful person we see in the series, he is immense. I skipped the entirety of Season 2 after the...

Re: Ghostwriting

Re: The Ableton Q&A Thread
