If the first two episodes established D'Angelo as more thoughtful than your average TV drug dealer - and "The Wire" as more thoughtful than your average cop show - then the chess scene, where he schools Bodie and Wallace on both the game (chess) and The Game (drugs) is the moment when I realized that I was looking at someone - and something - very special here. For me, it was the chess scene contained right here in "The Buys." For some, that revelation didn't (or won't) come for another episode or two. Because the show proceeds at such a measured pace, because it has so many characters and stories going, and because it so often refuses to play by the normal rules of TV storytelling, it took a while to really appreciate how great the show was.

Spoilers for episode three, "The Buys," coming up just as soon as I walk on broken glass.Īs I've written many times before, I'm grateful that HBO sent out the first four episodes of "The Wire" for review instead of just one or two. This is the former scroll up for the veterans edition if you want to discuss things that are still to come, both this season and in later seasons.

Once again, we're going to talk about season one of "The Wire" in two different versions: one safe for people who are brand-new to the show (or who haven't watched all the way through to the end), one where we can talk about anything from first episode to last.
