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 clichés..Score: 2/5
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
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

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

I have seen all Five series, and there are not enough words in the English language to describe how good this is... Social issues, 1 good cop in a bunch of bent cops, or cops who have been beaten to many times and let down by the system. Views on the street and the realism is 1st class. Buy this now..

The best TV show everThe Wire is a better cop show that NYPD Blue or the Shield, it's better on gangsters than The Sopranos, says more about politics than the West Wing and blows the CSI franchise away in one amazing forensics scene. I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't experienced The Wire yet because they have a life-changing experience ahead of them. This is what TV could and should be. It's as complex and multi-layered as the best novel you've ever read, as powerful as the best movie you've ever seen, and as enjoyable as a regular thriller. It shows you how the "war on drugs" is a war doomed to be lost, and how the tired concepts of "good" and "evil" just don't help explain how a modern city can become such a morass. Everyone should see this show. It simply can't be praised highly enough..Score: 5/5
