Reviews
Washington Post - The absence of gimmickry and the presence of respect for the story and the audience give THE WIRE organic advantages over nearly all other TV dramas, whether they deal with cops and crime or birds and bees., AV Club - Among the many things that separate THE WIRE from other TV dramas is the way that creator David Simon eases into a season., Variety - Based on the seven episodes previewed, it's every bit as cynical, riveting and brilliant as the four flights that preceded it - a searing look at the decay of a major American city that puts most of what's on television to shame., New York Times - It is one of the most intimate and alarming depictions of urban America on television, and yet it's an invigorating and even exhilarating experience, each season a new HARRY POTTER book for adults.
