The greatest television show everThis is a masterpiece and barely any show comes close to the The Wire.Score: 5/5

STICK WITH IT!!I started watching this and didn't really like the first few episodes, but I stuck with it because so many people I know have told me that they love the show. I'm glad I kept watching - I thought it started to get really good around the 4th episode..Score: 5/5

It's good.Great writing, acting..Score: 4/5

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

FantasticI hesitated at first to get into this show. But by the second episode of the first season I was hooked. This is a well cast, well acted series. But the key to this show is the writing. This a series of great stories. And like another great crime show "Homicide -Life on the Street's"; this show is set in Baltimore. And a number of the cast, writers, and people responsible for bringing this show to air are from Baltimore. All that gives this show a charm and ambiance that's not seen in many shows. I cannot figure out why this show was stopped at five seasons, it was still going strong. Take a chance on just one season, you won't be sorry; this show delivers..Score: 5/5

Another soundI just cant believe all the positive comments about this show !! I love TV and movies ( and also books by the way) and enjoyed shows like : The Shield, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Tudors, Sopranos, Spooks etc.etc, and was certain to be entertained by this one, but boy was I wrong. Dull, Dull Dull, Duller , Dullest. Dullest show on earth ; period..Score: 1/5

The Great American NovelThe Wire has done what few shows ever accomplished which is make a show that felt like a novel slowly unfolding over the screen. In an interview David Simon said The Wire is a portrayal of the forgotten class of people. These people who may have been able to find work as factory workers a couple of decades ago are no longer needed as big companies outsource their labor. So America has allow this class to fight over the scraps, drugs. This is depressing, beautiful and tragic. And it makes great television..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 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

SMART TV!This is one of the smartest TV shows ever. It starts slow and takes a bit of patietnce to get throught the first two episodes but well worth it!!!.Score: 5/5

An Amazing show...This show is still top notch, but I have a question, why aren't all of the episodes in widescreen presentation and surround sound? I was just curious....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

Best show everI found this show about four years ago.. I hadn't heard of it before then? But it's the best show ever & I highly recommend it!.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

Best TVThis is the best TV series I've ever watched ... but I almost gave up after episode 2. The Wire tells one big story over 13 episodes, rather than 13 stories, which means that it starts slow. I'm used to shows which move at the speed of, say, House, CSI, West Wing or The Shield, where each episode is a distinct story. I found The Wire hard work because it didn't "pay off" as quickly as most shows. But, on the advice of friends, I stuck with it and WOW! It is brilliantly written. Please watch it..Score: 5/5

Landmark, groundbreaking mature drama for a world too often spoon-fed junk fast food TV bile.

Setting up in the wake of the first season's joint homicide/narcotics detail that exposed a major drug operation — and left its members stigmatized and reassigned — the second season expands to include not only familiar drug dealers, but a group of longshoremen and organized crime members who are caught up in a major homicide case. The cast includes Dominic West, Chris Bauer, Paul Ben-Victor, John Doman, Idris Elba, and Frankie R. Faison.
