| What am I going to do now The Wire's finished |
Another great season - which neatly wraps up every story line that was ever started. Not as good as season 4 in my opinion. But there are some brilliant moments in Season 5. Addicted Wire fans won't bother reading the reviews anyway. Once you've watched the first season, there's no stopping till you've seen them all! I can't believe it's all over. |

| The Wire |
The best television series ever produced, without a doubt. As someone who works in Baltimore, I can attest to its accuracy. It is about a lot more than murder and drugs. Check it out. |

| A stunning end to a stunning show |
When I turned 17 years old for my birthday I recieved the first season of The Wire as a present. My father told me it was a good TV show and my expectations were in the line of a grittier version of The Shield on FX. Needless to say the show was ten times better than I ever expected. Its the only Drama that I watch over and over again.
This season of the wire may be the best last season of any show in the history of the world. David Simon and Ed Burns deliver the most complex and interesting group of characters and story ever put on T.V. Every season unfolds like a novel and this season completes the series in one of the most elegant and classic ways.
The entire police department has been set with budget cutbacks and is cut off from overtime. In city hall the newly elected mayor is getting ready to run for the govoners chair and Marlow and his crew and getting ready to take over the whole city. Along with several other equally important story arcs the show delivers in style again, the characters from Bunk to Herc to Marlow to Omar to the Polititians to the dope runners on the street all deserve Emmys all around and the show should be in an art gallery, because thats what it is, art. In my final works I'll leave with something a wise man once told me. "You gotta let em play, this America man." Those words are true even to this day. I thank The wire for lettin me play and I hope to find another show to watch.

| GREAT ENDING TO A GREAT SERIES |
We got hooked on the THE WIRE by accident. It, without a doubt, exceeds any HBO Special up to this point, including may I say, THE SOPRANOS; and we have the complete DVD series on both! The Wire is superior in every respect in it doesn't leave you hanging at the end of each episode as THE SOPRANOS had a tendency to do. The low life drug scene, the corrupt Baltimore police dept and the opportunistic politicians all intertwined make this the most enjoyable series both my wife and myself have watched. Keeps you on the edge of your seat... Buy it!!! |
