A Disappointing Continuation

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is the best show I've seen since prison break !! The only reason I'm not giving this a 10 or 9 is because it was a bit boring especially when they where showing the police side of the show ...

The Wire,with its realistic story, intricate plot, and convincing characters, delivers a powerful social commentary and analysis of not just Baltimore but also of any modern capitalist metropolitan, making it one of the most brilliantly filmed fiction pieces ever.By dissecting the whole cross-section of society, it depicts people from the most impoverished to the most privileged and weaves the struggles of their disparate worlds meaningfully together in an intelligent whole, leaving the audience with an elevated sense of awareness and realization.Set in Baltimore, Maryland, The Wire mainly depicts a perpetual struggle between its distraught pubic,violent drug dealers, disillusioned law enforcement agencies and indifferent political leaders, yet it serves as an analogy to comment on the universal interminable human desire for wealth, power and self-preservation.By putting forward moral dilemmas, the show establishes the thesis that in this struggle of life there is no good or bad, but only the bad and the worse, and every person acts best according to the circumstances they find themselves in. Watching The Wire is an experience which is intellectual as well as poetic;it will transform one forever. See it at once! My Rating 10/10

I must admit, it took me a LONG time to get it together and watch this show.I remember I started out trying to watch it but gave up after ½ - 1 ½ episodes.I guess I wasn't in the right mood at the time.This show turned out to be so good, I am afraid that I will never feel this way about another show.I just finished watching the last episode as I am writing this review so I have not had time to think everything through, but I must say that I am happy I watched this show and I understand why it gets as much credit as it does.Truly deserved.I can't praise this show enough, the actors, directors, costume designers, story editors, EVERYONE involved in making this show what it is, deserve credit.This show truly shows how the world works on different levels, how everything is connected, but you never see the full picture. Well here you get to sit back and get the full picture presented to you.I will most definitely watch this show again at some point, which is a big compliment from me.

I have seen over 100 TV series and this is still the closest to my heart. I would say still the best TV series I have seen till date. Hats off to all the people who contributed to making such an awesome TV series.
