The first season of The Wire (2002) concentrated on the often-futile efforts of police to infiltrate a West Baltimore drug ring headed by Avon Barksdale and his lieutenant, Stringer Bell. In Seasons Two and Three, as the Barksdale investigation escalated, new storylines involving pressures on the working class and the city's political leadership were introduced. Season Four focused on the stories of several young boys in the public school system, struggling with problems at home and the lure of the corner - set against the rise of a new drug empire in West Baltimore and a new Mayor in City Hall. The fifth and final season of The Wire centers on the media's role in addressing - or failing to address - the fundamental political, economic and social realities depicted over the course of the series, while also resolving storylines of the numerous characters woven throughout the narrative arc of the show. |

Don’t let the first episode fool you - keep going. This is in top 5 best ever series for a reason. See Noun X’s comment on the last ep of the final season. These characters will stay with you forever.
Also make sure to do a deep re-watch, that’s also worth it!
just finished watching the entire thing.what a great show indeed!
Trying to choose the better show between this and The Sopranos is like trying to pick your favorite child; there’s no one clear answer. Hands down one of the best television shows of all time and still holds up exceptionally well.
Michael K Williams was one of the best actors out there.
Absolutely one of the best series of all-time. Just tremendous from start to finish!
