Movie Reviews of The Wire - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: HBO scores again with one of the best TV shows in recent history
Summary: 5 Stars
HBO scores another great TV show with The Wire. This show is so addicting and the writing is just fantastic. You cannot watch this show casually, you must pay attention. If you do so you will not regret it.Movie Review: MORE THAN YOU WOULD HAVE HOPED FOR
Summary: 5 Stars
The Producer Barry Levinson has a love affair with Baltimore, as I do
too, being a years long several times resident there. But Levinson goes
deeper than I've known any series to do in a near anthropological, at
least sociological, study of Baltimore's--and America's--people and problems. Amazing character studies. Very acute study of institutions,
and politics, wins, losses and quagmires. RW
Movie Review: A pretty good show, but not as good as you'd expect.
Summary: 3 Stars
Heres the problem with the wire-the individual parts are much greater than the sum of its parts. When you sit and watch the wire you know its important, intriguing, but you sit there waiting for the many educational parts of the show to translate into great TV, but it never does.The wire has it all- great characters, details on the drug trade, police, and so on,but the execution of the show and putting all the parts together fail to deliver the 'great' TV drama you'd expect. I will watch the next season soon and hopefully it gets better. Movie Review: Really good show
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this television show. I can't wait to continue watching the subsequent seasons. Movie Review: Best show-too bad it's over
Summary: 5 Stars
We love The Wire and have purchased all of the seasons available on DVD. The last season is due to come out in August and we can't wait! It's a very engaging, interesting show where nothing is tied up with a neat little bow--it's just like life. TOTALLY recommend it!
