Just got thru Season 1 and I want to see more. If you haven't seen it before, I'd strongly recommend it. Never thought I'd say this about any show, but I'd say it's better than "The Sopranos". "The Sopranos" is excellent, but it's generally one-sided. All the characters, except for Tony's family and Dr. Melfi, are Italian white men in the Mafia. In "The Wire", though, you get well developed characters on both sides of the law, black and white, gay and straight, old and young. If anyone's seen anything besides Season 1 in Yongsan or anywhere else, please let me know.

For those who say I should just download it, I don't have a DVD burner and would prefer to watch it on my TV if possible.

Yongsan has it. I found them in a basement-level marketplace right next to the open-air dvd pirate dudes.

That's where I buy all of my dvd's. I always go to the same guys way in the back near the wall length service area. They have a good selection of tv series. They have always been good quality and are willing to negotiate price. They always smile when they see me coming.

Yep, those guys rock. I used to strong-arm ngotiate or prices. Now they know what I'll pay and just give me that price each time. On a couple occasions they sold me bad dvds and exchanged hm no questions asked.

Same here. I bought a couple of seasons of CSI and one of Dexter and they hooked me up with a couple of movies for free, albeit a bit reluctantly.
