The opening salvo from the greatest tv drama of it's time, for my money . I liked this more than the Sopranos (and that's saying a lot!) . The heroes are flawed, the bad guys VERY bad and in the middle are kids trying to survive horrible odds . Full of amazing characters, beautifully portrayed by great actors playing to a tight, twisty script . I can't recommend this highly enough🙂

Extremely good series. All characters are so credible. I found the subtitles essential to comprehend the street language which ultimately was rewarding in the challenging story lines.

I purchased this because I had previously bought a full boxes set, but the first disc is missing. I have only just started watching so it is too early to review.

The Wire draws you in to 2 cultures with their similarities, their conflicts. And it’s pacy but occasionally contemplative, and even beautiful with starkness. The Baltimore Police are drilling down into a drugs operation at a poor housing area. The criminals are resourceful and lively, like the cops. It’s tremendously exciting, and sad.

A great story with a plot that can be followed, belivable characters that create a certain empathey weather they are the good guys or the bad guys. Human frailties exsposed in an environmet of grity realalism , a great sub plot highlighting the similarties between local goverment politics, the police and organised crime. Very watchable, compeling viewing.

One of the best in its genre. Set the mould for future police dramas.

A pretty good and gritty crime drama. They go that extra mile to make the wire more realistic which in some sense can be pretty brutal through violence and drug taking but thats one of things i like about it. The characters once you got to know them are likeable and you develop an attachment which has so far dragged me to season 2. Overall though i was expecting more as this had been hyped up to me years ago. Still pretty good but a little dissapointed 3.5 / 5 Peace
I found this series disappointing. people had said it was well worth watching, I did not.

Very sweary. Plot a little obscure at times and the soundtrack is muffled and difficult to hear.
