Could have done without the sex scenes..


Almost like HBO mandated a few sex scenes here and there.

Oh, and glorious boobies in season 2.

The boobies in season 2 and the nice waitress ass too later in season 2. The sex scenes weren't all that excessive so I didn't mind them.

I was disappointed there wasn't a sex scene every episode that's what I expect from HBO

Then go watch True Blood lol

I did I also thought it was not very good but it would have been unwatchable without nudity. I believe that more nudity would have only made a great show like The Wire even greater. I was merely making fun of this prude who is complaining about an adult show that had 60 episodes and 5 or 6 of them had nudity or sex.

Not, it couldn't.

McNulty and Rhonda's sex scene is the only cringe worthy one.

Daniels and Rhonda's sex scene was cringe worthy too

Did anybody else wonder why the sex scenes became fewer and fewer as the show went on to the point of season 5 not even having even one? It's like the creators said by the end of the fourth season... OK that's about all the viewers we could've possible lured in with sex scenes. It's not worth it anymore to have the actors paid extra for acting nude when we wrap things up.

I'm kidding of course, but I must not be the only that noticed S5 was completely devoid of any kind of sexual deeds. :)

So what Mcnutty's drunken bang on the hood of his car doesn't count?

It's a very interesting sociological experiment. U.S. watchers are sensitive to Sexual scenes but not violent. Shows in the U.K. are the opposite. This show would be rated X due to the violence. But sexual scenes are standard hat for UK shows.

It really shows the difference between our societies. The US is extremely sexually oppressed while the UK couldn't win a hand to hand fight to save their lives.

It's obvious to me. America was born, lives, celebrates and will eventually die in violence. Every yank child sees over 3000 violent deaths before reaching school age, practises how to murder and maim innocent victims in graphically violent video game simulations, are armed to the teeth with hundreds of millions of assault rifles and hand cannons, and considers the unprovoked and illegal invasion and mass slaughter of major proportions of the civilian population of small defenceless third world countries some sort of patriotic national pastime.

How could the mild tittilation of depicting or representing more procreative human behaviour compete with such perverted bloodlust? Of course americans find nakedness offensive: there's not enough blood!
