If this is indicative of The Wire, I should watch it.
I envy your first watch. It's an incredible show. Only one I personally rank a slight notch higher is Deadwood.
Never heard Deadwood discussed anywhere. Will it challenge my Battlestar Galactica run?
BSG is a very different show but there might be some crossover between the fanbases. Deadwood is legacy HBO, the quality and depth of cast is on another level compared to what the scifi channel had at the time.
It's also endlessly quotable, that's one thing I miss about reddit is the small /r/Deadwood sub. You'll see some general "cocksucka" quotes in the wild but that sub has multiple rewatches under their belt and uses the full range. I have to revist some posts there everytime I rewatch it.
Anyway, here's one of my favorites from Wild Bill in S01E04: https://webm.red/view/cn5t.webm
Good ol' Charlie Utter. 🥹
One of my favorite, underrated short scenes is Al singing alone in his bar:
