Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Television really doesn’t come much better than this. Criminally ignored by far, far too many people, The Wire has proven itself to be that rarest of things: an intelligent, clever, character-driven show, that’s lasted more than one season. This boxset brings together all the episodes from the maiden series of The Wire, spread across thirteen episodes. Yet those episodes, unlike many in the police genre where the show spends a good deal of its time, are dedicated to just one case. Furthermore, it follows both sides of the case. Thus, there’s the Baltimore police department, with its statistics to manage, its internal politics to manage and its chain of command to respect, set against a highly organised drug gang, who too have more than their fair share of problems. The Wire is a slow burn show, taking time to delicate put its pieces in place. Rarely do you get a dramatic end to an episode, and it’s not afraid to humanise and blur the lines between good and bad. But, bluntly, there’s nothing--not even The Sopranos--that US TV has broadcast in the last ten years that can hold a torch to it. This first series is genuinely outstanding television, and really deserves your attention. And the good news? Excellent as it is, this first series isn’t even the best that The Wire has to offer…--Simon Brew Synopsis: A detective called McNulty is part of a team investigating drug related crime in Baltimore. With the help of detective Shakima Greggs, the two do everything they can to bring down a powerful druglord... A television series created by a crime reporter David Simon and former detective Ed Burns. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Perfection Defined.The best TV show ever, from season's 1 to 5. This TV show looks at many aspects of life and seems to get better the more you watch it. An essential buy for any fan. Rating: - Make sure you order this nowI haven't written a review on Amazon for a while - but this show has made me write one. The Wire is the best TV series I have ever seen. That's all I need to say Rating: - Fantastic Series - Must WatchWhat a series - I really loved every minute of this exciting series. Its as captivating as Prison Break but more intelligent though non-glamorous. Does show you the real frustrations and politics going behind the Police and Homicide departments and what a great job they do, in spite of everything. Seriously not to be missed!!! I have already ordered Series 2 and 3. Rating: - A novel approach to television cop shows'The Wire' is the brainchild of prolific writer David Simon, who also created the excellent 'Homicide: Life on the Street'. Drawing on his experiences of living and working in Baltimore, Simon has crafted a multi-layered television series that addresses some of the major problems affecting Baltimore, and indeed American society as a whole. Over five seasons, we see the working class, government, education and the media come under the spotlight; but, in this first season, the focus is on drugs.
