Customer Review: Great show and this was the best season. The writers did a great job intertwining the police, drug dealers, politicians, and schools. Gives you a real good look at the systemic problems. Great acting all around too. All of the seasons were great, but if you have to get just one, I'd pick this one.
Customer Review: I've always heard about "The Wire" but don't have cable so I was never able to see it, but said that I was going to order the dvd's and that's exactly what i've done.

Customer Review: Good book, very interesting view into the workings of the Baltimore PD. It has many interesting stories and insights. The thing that keeps it from being a five-star book are that it is somewhat disjointed, which means that it remains on the edge of being gripping without quite crossing the line.... more info
Customer Review: It's fantastic, although I bought it initially for the Pogues track...Ray Cole's wake being one of my favorite Wire moments, but I have found the whole thing contributes to a sense that you are hearing the many voices of a struggling city.
