Reviews
Washington Post - The absence of gimmickry and the presence of respect for the story and the audience give THE WIRE organic advantages over nearly all other TV dramas, whether they deal with cops and crime or birds and bees., AV Club - Among the many things that separate THE WIRE from other TV dramas is the way that creator David Simon eases into a season., Variety - Based on the seven episodes previewed, it's every bit as cynical, riveting and brilliant as the four flights that preceded it - a searing look at the decay of a major American city that puts most of what's on television to shame., New York Times - It is one of the most intimate and alarming depictions of urban America on television, and yet it's an invigorating and even exhilarating experience, each season a new HARRY POTTER book for adults.

    Best tv series l have ever followed, and now l can follow it again, on repeat, via dvd!

    Great to revisit one of my fave TV series of years ago, and find that The Wire is truly great! And watching it on DVD, l can rewatch it *in detail*. Brilliant 😀

    Brilliant entertainmant

    This is a brilliant crime fighting story. Its gripping and very true life with super characters. My only hitch is that a small scratch on one of the discs causes a blip and I missed about 30 seconds of one episode but hey ho.

    The Wire box set

    Bought for my daughter and she loves it. It’s an American cop show starring Dominic West. It was secondhand but in good condition.

    Landmark cops and robbers series where there are goodies and baddies on both sides - and much humour.

    There is little I can say that has not been said before about The Wire. It is a gritty look at drug-related and other crime in Boston from the point of view of the Police who have to deal with it, who do not always behave as well as they should, and the perpetrators, who are not always willing perpetrators. These grey areas leave you wondering who are the real criminals - at the same time, there is a great deal of lovely humour - some of it dark, some of it just funny.

    Why the Wire? Read on...

    This series fully deserves the hype it has generated. The action is pacey and humourously insightful. I particularly appreciated the wisdom of reflecting street life in such a way that characters on both sides of the tracks are products of their environment and life chances rather than good guys and bad guys. The depth of characterisation draws the viewer into a relationship with the dealer, the cop, the corner boys in a way that holds and demands your full attention and makes a nonesense out of standard stereotypes. This is seriously good drama. It will challenge and enthral, shock and surprise. I fully recommend it.
