The Wire, The Complete Series

Incredible show, my all-time favorite; the only multi-season show I’ve re-watched in entirety. (The miniseries Band of Brothers is the only other show to get multiple viewings.) While some things have changed (end-to-end encryption, Baltimore development), it still captivates me. The seasonal topics add a rich layer to the show. Acting, writing, directing are all superb. Long-form TV at its best.

Best show ever!

The amount of concentration required to follow all of the plot threads in this incredible tv show are precisely why it was originally overlooked, and also why it is so utterly brilliant. Thoughtful, gritty, complex, and unbelievably raw and honest. An absolute masterpiece of modern television.

Probably one of the best tv shows ever

The Wire is by far the best television show ever made. It may even be the best thing ever filmed. It ended 12 years ago and is still just as relevant today.

Hands down one of the best series on tv ever. Kind of slow and confusing the first few episodes but when it gets going it doesn’t stop. Easy to binge and rewatch. Always catch something new.

Period

This is another example of someone taking time to waste ours. The subject matter here is not what we should be focusing on at all. Too bad this made it to the screen.

Simply the best TV show of all time.....the writing, the characters, the setting all create a unique series that is the most realistic illustration of societal issues I have ever seen on television.

So real, it makes you understand so many things people just don't.
