The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.
Agreed about The Wire, but not about S5, I love that one too :-)
Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it's growing on me. I think I'm not keen on the vocalist? S2's theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it's my favourite of the four I've watched.
Yeah, I absolutely love Season 2 as well. I think the first will always be my favourite, but there's so much goodness to choose from!
Re the singer for S5, that's Steve Earle who is also in the show as Waylon, Bubbles' sponsor at NA :-)
Right, so, you won't believe me but I totally thought the vocalist could be Waylon but then I just figured that they'd gone for someone local to sing it and it was a bit sheltered of me to assume that Waylon's actor was the only one with that accent ๐
Thanks for confirming.
No worries! And I do believe you :-)
