This masterpiece made television history. 60 episodes of pure writing, directing, and acting excellence. If you haven't seen it, obviously a large commitment, but it is unforgettable. Described by Wendell Pierce as a "fictional documentary", it's immersion level and detail make for an experience that is only matched by Breaking Bad in my opinion. Police drama in West Baltimore that exposes the happenings in different areas of the city from the poverty stricken streets all the way to the docks and political parties. I cannot praise this series enough, so many characters, events, quotes, and so much more that I will never forget.

The Wire really is one of the best shows to have ever graced our TV screens. It's a compelling (and tragic) depiction of what so many American cities are dealing with these days. Once you start you just can't stop watching so it's a better value to buy the complete series rather than a single season.

The first season was so exciting that I was on the edge of my seat. Didn't want to stop. Next season was good but I would have liked to seen the same players. The last ones. Well I couldn't get through one season without skimming and last one I just gave up

The most influential show I have ever seen. Was totally worth buying the entire series instead of buying one season at a time because once you watch the first season you'll just keep wanting to go on. There are so many links between seasons that it is a perfect binge show.

Great price on one of the best shows ever made(people who don't like nudity, violence, or cursing don't buy). TV production at it's finest and high quality picture even on a large screen tv. Funny I had to change this review because I used a word beginning with S and had to replace it with nudity.
