Summary: Best show-too bad it's over
Comment: We love The Wire and have purchased all of the seasons available on DVD. The last season is due to come out in August and we can't wait! It's a very engaging, interesting show where nothing is tied up with a neat little bow--it's just like life. TOTALLY recommend it!

Customer Rating:

Summary: I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
Comment: I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I can only 100% cosign the other good reviews that have been written.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Intellectual TV is back. Best. Show. Ever.
Comment: Unlike some reviewers who use their love of television to back up their assertion that this show is great, I take the opposite tact. I don't really like TV. Its not that I think I'm too good for, it just usually doesn't interest me. Up until The Wire, the only show that really captivated me had been Twin Peaks. This show is completely different, but even more captivating. This is easily the best TV series I have ever seen. It is deep and complex. You don't keep watching because you wanna know what happens, but because you want to under why everything is happening and how it all fits in to the bigger picture. Incredible stuff, really.

Customer Rating:

Summary: The Wire
Comment: This is an excellent show for those who want to walk the gritty Baltimore inner city street life. Some of the street language goes over my head, but it sure gives you the feeling of the constant drug battle between dealers and police. Not your normal cop show.

Editorial Reviews:

From David Simon creator and co-writer of HBO's triple Emmy-winning mini-series The Corner this unvarnished highly realistic HBO series follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance where easy distinctions between good and evil and crime and punishment are challenged at every turn.Running Time: 780 min.System Requirements:Running Time 780 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 026359887321 Manufacturer No: 98873
