Ruined Me for Law & Order

I used to watch Law & Order as I dozed off some nights, I always liked that show. However, after watching season one of The Wire, I can't watch L&O anymore, because in comparison it's just a pile of cool puke.

I started watching this after Sopranos ended, and it's no sopranos. But what is? This is great, better than most police movies you've seen, much less TV.

An especially gratifying thing about this season is the epilogue. It actually ends, not depending on any contrived cliffhangers to try to get me to watch the next season, something even Sopranos did. So of course I will watch the next season, as the producers have earned my trust. I can't wait! July 15, 2008

Missed it on HBO... great alternative to post-writer's strike summer TV wasteland

Best television ever made? Possibly. When there's nothing on, catching up on seasons of The Wire, Rescue Me, and Mad Men is keeping me sane. July 13, 2008

episode 3 incomplete

The Wire is a great show. The copy I ordered was defective (one episode cut short). Then the next copy was shipped and part of the case was broke. July 10, 2008

Absolutely Near Perfect ...

To anyone who hasn't seen 'The Wire' I cant express in strong enough terms how good this series is. Every ingredient required to make an unforgettable crime/drama series is found in this show. From the writing and dialogue to the acting and pace of the events that take place 'The Wire' is among the best, if not the best, that has ever been seen. I have seen all 5 seasons and they are all excellent. If you expect television programs, as I do, to depict life in an urban area to remain true to reality and be as authentic as possible then you will love this show. I've recently tried to watch popular crime dramas such as 'Law & Order' and others and I honesty laugh out loud at how contrived the stories are and how untrue to life the dialogue is. If you don't know what I'm saying then start with season 1 of 'The Wire' and you'll see what I'm talking about. July 8, 2008

HBO scores again with one of the best TV shows in recent history

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. July 6, 2008
