Favorite Character From The Wire?

The Wire has an ensemble cast of characters that all make their impression on the show. As the tagline says "All The Pieces Matter". So, I'm sure we've all got a favorite. So, who's yours, and why?

For me, I know it's probably cliche, but I might go with McNulty. He's the kind of balls-to-the-wall workhorse that every workplace and office needs. He literally sacrificed his and his coworker's careers on a fake serial killer case just to get the BPD to focus on Marlo Stanfield and his crew. Other favorites of mine include Bunk, Cedric, Bubbles, Kima, Slim Charles, and, of course, Omar.

HBO Max keeps skipping a few seconds after skipping an intro

Whenever i skip an intro on The Sopranos it goes past about 20 seconds. It isn't just Sopranos i watch some cartoons on HBO too and they also have the same problem. Is there any fix for this?

Watch order

So I got a question. I JUST started watching tvd (s.1 ep 3 rn) and I was wondering what is the best way to watch the whole story in order.

On google I found this:

- The Vampire Diaries (season 1-4)

- The Originals (season 1-3)

- The Vampire Diaries (season 5-7)

- The Vampire Diaries (season 8)

- The Originals (season 4 & 5)

- Legacies (Seizoen 1-4)

Would any of guys recommend that? Or just TVD season 1-8, then The Originals season 1-5 and then Legacies 1-4

Let me know and thanks in advance!!!

I just got my first 4k TV. Which HBO shows made before 2010 are available in 4k?

Between the pandemic, student loans, layoffs, dental debt and the birth of two children I didn't have much saved for tech upgrades until this year.

I treated myself to a 65 inch Bravia 8 II and want to see what I've been missing for shows that deserve a rewatch.

Is there some sort of reference out there of which shows were shot on film and rescanned for 4k release?

Anything like Deadwood, Oz, The Wire, Sparanos in 4K?

4K titles currently on HBO Max UK (initial catalog)

I've been looking through the HBO Max UK catalog since launch, trying to figure out what’s actually available in 4K / Dolby Vision...

There’s still no way to filter by format on the app, and justwatch doesn’t seem to reflect the UK catalog yet.

I came across a full list of 4K films on a site called 4kfilmdb, which helped as a starting point:

full list here

Not sure how accurate it is overall, but it gave me a better idea of what’s currently available.

Thought I’d share in case it helps anyone else in the same situation!
