You must purchase this.I am late as hayle, but this is my first time watching this series. Absolutely pheonomenal! At the time it first ran, it did not interest me, but looking back, I am mad that I didn't catch on sooner. Great series, outlining the complexities of the drug game, politics, and law enforcement. I liked the fact that there were no easy answers and no quick resolutions to the intricate inbalances of city life. Well done..Score: 5/5

Almost PerfectThe story and characters were great. The acting superb. The portrayal of a dysfunctional police force (which they all are) accurate. My only criticism is that this is native 4:3 and not 16:9. I realize in 2002 HD was not main stream. Perhaps it is time to rerelease this in HD. Thanks for the great series..Score: 5/5
The Wire - Season 1 episode 1Set in Baltimore's underbelly amidst the puss and slugs of a marginalized community honest cops fight an uphill battle against street level crime. Everyone is foul mouthed and bad tempered without a shred of relief in their pathetic lives - and that just the cops. The most compelling character is the young, black, gay cop. All others are interchangeable clichƩs..Score: 2/5
Top cop drama, strongly recommendedBefore watching this show, I had only heard and read brief reviews about The Wire. I am usually sceptical about TV series in general, however, this being HBO, and the fact that ALL reviews were fantastic, I gave it a shot. I was blown away. The depth of ALL of the characters, not just the main 2 or 3 is very well thought out, and clearly there was thought of seasons after season 1. The character and story arcs are large, but well thought out. Most police shows are not good. Plain and simple. There are very unrealistic scenes, circumstances and scenarios. Paired with the fact that typical cop TV shows require 2000 bullets being fired for one person to be shot. Ridiculous. This is no such show. I have to admit, the first few episodes were slow. I understand now that this was because it was laying the group work for a very sophisticated and deep television series spanning past season 1. It has an unprecedented array of character arcs that intertwine with each other to such a degree, I have to put the show on pause at time just to put it all together. Fantastic. This show allows you to think, which is something I enjoy. As most reviewers also state, this shows closest rival with regards to "realism" is probably "Southland". This show is not filmed like Southland (semi-single camera situations). It is filmed similar to The Sopranos with multiple cuts and angles of all characters-typical HBO fashion. The fact that this show follows the story of not just the police, but also the "gangsters" is a nice touch. The viewer gets to look in to both sides of the situation involving both parties, allowing you to know more than the actual characters do inside the series. Watch it, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended..Score: 5/5

A work of art - Astonished it's not more popularThis is without doubt one of the finest TV series ever made. I'm only writing this review as it's sad to think that more people might not enjoy a truly awesome show. It's not for passive watching, it's like reading a book you just can't book down. Sure there's some barriers to entry, it can be hard to understand and you have to pay attention but it's worth it every single minute. I'm not normally bossy but you simply have to watch it. Please. You'll say this after you've seen it - I promise..Score: 5/5

The EndHave lived with The Wire Seasons 1 to 5 over the last 3 weeks and this IS a memorable television experience. Dialogue, stories, acting all combine to tell a the story of life in a city, a country, a thousands of miles away from my own city of Edinburgh, Scotland. I feel as if i do not want this to end, and yet am afraid if The Wire did come back it would be anything less than the perfection each season brought. A magnificent achievement by all involved in it's creation. Recommend you watch and learn .. you will never regret it.It touched me..Score: 5/5

Excellent! TV drama of a very high standard.A really well-crafted series. The actors were all suitably cast and Dominic West's Jimmy McNulty was a solid peg to hang the first season onā¦ a believable American accent from a Brit. Idris Elba's portrayal of Stringer Bell was full of understated menace and he is another Brit with a good American accent. Sherwin Harris's Avon Barksdale was ruthless and uncompromising. Wendell Pierce played Bunk Moreland, a detective who was a great foil for Dominic West's misanthropic detective. Michael Williams played the humorous homosexual character, Omar, who was tough as nails and robbed other dealers with a smile on his face. There were very strong performances from a host of actors who supported the main characters. The action is set in Baltimore USA and there is a strong sense of the darker underbelly of a big city. Highly recommended to all who like multi-level plots and action. Slow to unfold but well worth the effort in deciphering the language of the street and the interactions between the various actors. Not to be missed! Five stars from me..Score: 5/5
