The Wire - The Complete Fifth Season DVD
In association with Amazon.com
- Great price and fast deliveryThis dvd set was priced well below retail stores. Target was selling it for $20 more. Can't beat the price (and free shipping, too). I will definitely buy through this site again.

- Really great, but not as good as the first 4 seasonsBy any standard other than being the last season of the Wire, this would be a five-star season. It's incredible, and definitely must-see television for anyone willing to invest the time to understand it. However, I would say that it is clearly the worst of the five seasons, for two reasons. One has to do with the actual story, which in this season takes a slight turn towards the fantastical and unrealistic, with Jimmy McNulty's mildly absurd gambit for additional funding. More importantly though, this is the first season in which the show seems to have an axe to grind, in this case against the Baltimore Sun. The first four seasons are gorgeously balanced in their presentation of everything. This one is merely well-balanced, if that makes sense. Nevertheless, I absolutely recommend it.

- Too good for an immature American audience . . .Why does it take a Brit audience to appreciate, fully, the virtues of this AMERICAN teleseries?
David Simonses' purview and focus on a typical contemporary city ghetto and all its sociopolitical AND socioeconomic significations is surely the truest and the "best" to date. On any media or in any venue.
It is unblinking and unapologetic and unforgiving as well as unforgettably "real." It gives "virtual" reality an authenticity so laughably missing in self-styled "reality" shows.
Even the finest of the likes of "The Sopranos" must appear fictional next to this depiction of a virtual Baltimore, which make "life" but a reflection of this mirror image.
Oh, and how many in the audience recognize the difference/resemblance to those daily briefings we watched and loved in "Hill Street Blues"?
"Be careful out there . . ." Fpr sure.

- The best series since Sex and the CityAn engrossing, addictive series. Well written, well acted, well done! Too bad it's over.

- Compromises and sacrificesThis series was perhaps the series that brought out that final part of some of the characters personas.
The big question that they were asked was "Would you sacrifice your career for the common good?" Some said yes, some said no.
We get the chance to look at the reporter who is struggling with inability and what he is prepared to do to get ahead. We look at characters who when given the chance to compromise their beliefs, refuse to do so.
This series is just brilliant, very deep and full of issues.
Loved it.
