Description: THE WIRE -- SEASONS 1-4 After one episode of THE WIRE, you'll be hooked. After three, you'll be astonished by the precision of its story telling, and you'll be cheering a bona-fide American masterpiece. Series creator David Simon was a veteran crime reporter from The Baltimore Sun who co-wrote the book that inspired TV's Homicide, and co-writer Ed Burns was a Baltimore cop, lending impeccable street-cred to an inner-city Baltimore saga. The series opens as maverick Detective Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) is tapping a vast network of drugs and death around southwest Baltimore's deteriorating housing projects. With a mandate to get results ASAP, a haphazard team is assembled to join McNulty's increasingly complex investigation, built upon countless hours of electronic surveillance. The show's split-perspective plotting is so richly layered, so breathtakingly authentic and based on finely drawn characters brought to life by a perfect ensemble cast, that defies its concise description, resulting in a TV series like no other: unpredictable, complicated and demanding the viewers rapt attention. THE WIRE is "an angry show" that refuses to comfort with easy answers to deep-rooted societal problems. Moral gray zones proliferate in a universe where ruthless killers have a logical code, and where the cops are just as ambiguous as their targets. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn. THE WIRE is a detailed expose of organized crime and blue-collar corruption, and an authentic, well-informed study of political maneuvering among police and city officials. There's not a single false note to be found in the cast, direction, or writing of this phenomenal series, hailed by many critics as "the best show on television." With all due respect to HBO's other excellent series, THE WIRE tops them all. Check out my other items! Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
