    TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
    Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
    Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
    Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
    jimothy.halperson I don't think I can even write a review for this show, any statement I would make would be an understatement.
    daniyalbhai786 A superb show which shows the deep , ruthless world of drug and how some good police officers chases criminals depsite having so many blockades from their own department.Well written , well directed and well acted.It's a must watch tv show.
    taffytaffy-04353 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 ...
    syednoorhussain 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
