The Wire is the greatest drama ever to air on television in my opinion...if you get to the third or fourth episode. It’s quite disorientating at the beginning and it rewards effort, you need to concentrate and it’s not a show you can casually watch. One of the taglines is ‘all the pieces matter’ and it’s absolutely spot on, something that happens in episode five can have repercussions thirty episodes later.
I envy anyone watching it for the first time. An absolute masterpiece and I’m not sure we’ll see anything like it again. The ambition, intelligence and scope is unparalleled.
