The Wire just finished its latest season and this show has become a remarkable thing. I had to write. In a time of great televison (BSG, Unit, Studio 60, Dexter) the Wire, which was on the bubble last season, came back as the best of them all.
This season was superlative, an extraordinary achievement. Not only was it riveting and heartbreaking, it is easily the best show HBO has produced (including Deadwood and I'm a very big fan of Deadwood) and ranks as one of the best television shows ever. The acting was amazing, particularly this season by the 'kids.' The show is about the lives of the cops and drug dealers in Baltimore, how they intertwine and interconnect. To say more would do it an injustice. This is great TV.
If you don't know the show, you oughta. Go get the DVDs, look on HBO On Demand, beg, borrow or steal episodes. Use your ipod video. I promise you this, the show will captivate you. Amazing!
