I agree with the message of Season 5, just not the execution. Circling back to the journalism angle in season 5 and your above article, it is sad that so many people missed the real commentary about the total lack of journalistic integrity- not just in Bmore but in the whole country. Season 5 in a nut shell is explained in the opening scene by bunk, the bigger the lie, the more they believe Just the slow motion walk through of him seeing his operation in action, and the perfect timing of Polk (or Mahone?)

The depth, the acting, the setting, the pace, its all spot on :p. I love this show. Its disappointing to read the entire comment thread and see that no one picked up on those journalistic themes either, but I saw every single one of them- which is why I watched season 5 in total frustration as every cut back to the Baltimore Sun went straight into the same mire of bullshit all journalists everywhere in America now live in. Brought up to believe in hard case police work, her world was turned upside down by Tony's presence. This is really a two part TV series.. the first three seasons with Green and Norris.. bit.ly/1780gxl .. in the leads, and the second three with Green and Lahbib.. bit.ly/13Pgcqi .. The criminals are deeply psychologically twisted, far more so than any person you have ever encountered, even in the newspapers.

I am writing my thesis on THE WIRE This argument strucked me when Omar died and no one noticed it in The Sun No institutional memory, no quality journalism. Omars death/Omar returning to Baltimore: We all wanted to see Omars last stand be in a bloody shootout with a high body count, but anyone paying attention to the story being told knew it wouldnt go down like that. He has a reputation of taking small seemingly unconnected facts puzzling them together and providing a profile for the police to follow. Also the deal they made with Marlo at the end where he would be free was just nonsensical, unless you want to believe that the DAs office is incredibly pure and moral and would never want to go to court and bust a guy they know is a major killer just because there is a little dirt in their investigation. For now I will just pass. This is an entertaining series currently available on Acorn TV.

Think season 5 could of been way better but liked how Omar died didnt expected it from the little kid. I mean its obvious all three of them enjoyed it way too much for a normal gangster who just wanted someone out of their way- and Marlos final shot licking the blood off his sleeve just about proves that that guy was about to go on a black Manson killing spree had the story logically continued from its stopping point. That was the critique. The writing is exceptional, especially for the episode, "Torment". Peace, yo. Jumped that shark in high-topped Nikes, we did. WowIm emotionally drained.

For instance the homeless serial killer story and the idea that this would be more politically important than closing a case where 22 murdered bodies were hidden away in vacants all over the city. So fuck what I said. No worries. Its especially shameful that the media did not pick up on this. Whenever I watch it is like the whole world stops I am just focused on the TV.

On my third or fourth watch through season two became my second favorite season, after season 4 of course. I became hooked from the first episode "Mermaids Singing" which is done in 2 parts, with each episode my enthusiasm for the show also grew. I got my invitation late in the mail and I may as well just see all the videos and photos and banter about it on peoples social media profiles. Seemed pretty angry to me. Thats it.

This series is generally well-scripted and acted. Gus pointing at the screen when Clay Davis is doing his interview outside the grand jury and wondering why the paper missed it. But most of all, that poor child Duquan who did nothing but suffer from beginning to end. Okay. 6 Apr.

I was only introduced to this show in 2014 by a friend in college at Washington State University that let me borrow is DVDs one season at a time, and I bought the DVD box set shortly thereafter. I sincerely believe S4 is the best season of any show in existence and overall, The Wire is the best-told story Ive ever experienced in television. In response to a few specific complaints Ive come across rather frequently in regards to the season: How is it remotely plausible that Marlo walked free? The political corruption, the cronyism, the back-asswards views on racism which prevent all minorities from getting a real say in anything lest they be deemed racist- and most agonizingly, the completely screwball insanity that is the PG County school system is exactly like the way you depicted life in Baltimore. The Wire will be studied in the future. From the Huffington Post, March 17, 2008 He's quirky, he's a little odd, but he helps to provide a different, and intellectual insight into the killer's mind.

The Wire finale recap: The end of the line Two things about my Sunday were making me sick. I binged watch all 5 seasons, The Wire is the best tv series in tv history. And I thanks you for that, because you gave us a piece of truth storytelling. I absolutely love The Wire so I mean no disrespect when I say this (arent prefaces like that always inevitably followed by something kinda shitty and disrespectful?) Isnt that what your essay calls for? There will be many scenes of hookers and trashy bar people. The port was referenced a couple of times but would have liked to have a bit more substance so it felt like it all fit. Why would he care about the homeless? Hopefully there is some point in time when the majority of people become a little smarter and catch up w/ the intelligence this show possesses. The acting is excellent, but I find this show way too unsubtle, lurid, and melodramatic. I do honestly feel that way about the ending but telling you that personally (digitally, whatever) was completely asinine and unnecessary. His rogue decision to stage serial killings was believable but Bunks toothless response and using Lester and his involvement to give credence to Jimmys scheme went beyond the pale. If I didnt know the show was set in Baltimore it just as easily could have been set in Lanham, Capitol Heights, District Heights, Temple Hills, Forestville. Also starring Hermione Norris (MI-5) and Simone Lahbib (Loch Ness), these dark and twisty mysteries are "brilliantly edgy" (SFGate.com). Every episode is gripping. The show and books are dark and twisted.

"Wire in the Blood" is the story of Dr.Tony Hill (Robson Green), a slightly eccentric clinical psychologist who works part time with the police force of Bradford, England. Perhaps one on the books it is based on might warm me up to it. Okay, you probably hate me by now so Ill shut up. It was way worse than you thought. Another topic for another time, but dont wait on our news media to report it. Season 4 seemed to show Carcetti living up to their ideals, and it *did* seem like things were getting cleaned up. I knew in my bones as he walked up to the convenience store something bad was going to happen. Is McNulty still clean etc. Comparatively, many of the black characters who could have made gains by playing the same game, either didnt or chose not to. 1 The Office. His entire life he had nothing and no one then ends up back on the street with a needle in his arm. Nothing against Robson himself but his character annoys me. In the end, Carcetti, despite being white, was not able to avoid the same trappings of stat-juking number games and political favoritism as his predecessor, Royce, or the mayor before that. All in all, the last season ofThe Wirewasnt that cruel a portrayal, was it? Summary: Tony is put under police protection when the area mental health commissioner is brutally murdered. I certainly read that last post and thought thats angry. Really? Interesting article. David Simon, a reporter for the Baltimore Sun for thirteen years, is the executive producer of HBOs The Wire. I confess I thought that journalism was still self-aware enough to get it, that enough collective consciousness of the crafts highest calling remained, that reporters still worried about what their newspapers were missing. Herc just needed to get run over, along with Levy, and bleed out slowly suffering much in the process. Entertaining but formula driven and with plot holes! Watch with Acorn TV. I may be the only one who remembers how he blew two critical moments in the Port case during season 2 all due to his general stupidity and self-centeredness- along with being responsible for Randys torment due Herc selling him out to find the camera he lost AND poor Bubbles getting brutalized on the street over and over for the exact same reason. No need to worry about any season of this amazing show. When the Wire was first broadcast, in 2002, I decided not to watch it because of the hype. Uncovered. Thank you for your ridiculously worthwhile contributions to humanity. Like another commenter, I only noticed the Prop Joe story being missed/overshadowed by the Sun. Yes, that IS the truth for kids all over the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) but I really wish, David, you could have shown him some compassion as the most innocent among them really deserved some kind of redemption. With the exception of the good journalism that bookended the story arc which is, of course, representative of the fact that there are still newspaper folk in Baltimore and elsewhere struggling mightily to do the job the season amounted to ten hours of a newspaper that is no longer intimately aware of its city. The writing was a train wreck, the characterization limp, the acting and plotting, shameful and shameless both. Just depressing the way it wallows in the depravity of the serial killers and hits you over the head with it. I have no idea how you were able to pick one quote out of the whole episode, to show at the beginning because almost every line is of substance. That being said, I think what was really being pointed out here, is that the sorts who were under the feeling that the blacks were ruining the city, more or less knew quite well that such levels of corruption in the legal bodies was not limited by race, as Season 5 shows, and that just like w/ many of the black characters, many of the white characters benefit professionally for their lies, cover-ups and stat-jukings. Love if The producers could make a 15 minutes short just to show where all the cast are now. Every time I sit down to watch it again, more and more of the depth reveals itself. I've been in love with Robson Green for years, and he's in top form here in "Wire in the Blood," a British TV series based on characters created by crime writer Val McDermid. To argue about whether Whiting is more venal or one-dimensional than Valchek? Dont even know where to start, and I dont think I can critique anything about this show because it critiques itself. What he suddenly turns stupid? The ending was perfect, the way Omar died was perfect, the serial killer thing was perfect, but then whenever it cut back to that newsroom it dragged. One last thing though .Duquan. Surprisingly because i'm usually no fan at all of the serial-killer genre nor the kind of grisly imagery that this show always provides. The serial killer story was just too silly. I sure noticed the theme of unreported stories in season five. Did you guys just intentionally try to deliver a shitty, unsatisfying conclusion so you can feel like you didnt pander to the audience or compromise your artistic vision or some shit? A moment for one last question: Sure there was a fabulist and, yeah, he snatched the big prize. how many years you figure we been doing the same shit.. Still, all that being said, it was a hell of a ride and still the best damn tv series ever made. I would have liked to have seen more scenes with randy & neymond though just to make it feel like they hadnt been forgotten especially as Michael & dookie didnt even mention them by name about same with nick sabotka maybe a conversation about the docks with someone after abusing the mayor & kracheck I like how it felt like a big open world & people could bump into each other.
