**Contains MASSIVE Wire spoilers, do not click, and do not read if you have not watched the entire five seasons**

In the following thread some guy has posted up a bunch of character studies from The Wire that he lifted from a private forum. These are truly amazing. I am getting more insight from these than I have from several five season marathons, discussions with friends, participating/lurking Wire threads, reading interviews, etc. This guy could clearly write a lengthy dissertation on the show.

Oh, and he has written episode recaps, s01e01-s05e05, and they will be posted up at some point. Enjoy.
