Movie Review: The Wire Season 2
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wire is the best drama to have been produced by American television in a long, long time - far superior to such faux realist soaps as The Sopranos. The acting is of a uniformly high standard and is not disfigured by the attitudinizing that comes with star performers. It is instructive to compare the first season of The Wire with the movie American Gangster that covers similar ground. The latter is a decent thriller but the two stars, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe ultimately get in the way of a convincing narrative simply by being Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. In The Wire there are no obvious lead characters and the actors are all (to me anyway) unknown. Some of the portrayals are truly outstanding. The first season focused on drug trafficking in the projects and showed both the police and dealers in equal measure, each from their own side. The second season takes the same approach in dealing with shenanigans in the Baltimore docks. The plot is complex and sorting it out is made challenging by the sometimes difficult to follow dialog. But the effort is worth it: I cannot recommend the program highly enough.Movie Review: Great Service
Summary: 4 Stars
I received my order with such a fast turnaround that I was pleasantly suprised. I was so used to waiting a full 2 weeks before recieving my order that I expected the same with this particular purchase. Thanks for the great service.Movie Review: even better than Season 1!
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect television! I'm looking forward to more seasons of this great series. Once you start watching, you can't stop!Movie Review: The Wire, Season 2
Summary: 5 Stars
It turns out perfection can be improved on. The first season of The Wire was a taught, gripping piece of work, with just the right combination of drama and natural, character-appropriate comedy to keep you always coming back for more. The second season of The Wire somehow manages to be even better than the first. There wasn't a single moment where I wasn't enthralled by this sprawling tapestry of a drug story. With some unexpected twists here and there, it kept me on my toes, and the overall experience of watching was as rewarding as any television show could ever be. The best of the best, this is.
