I find it surprising to see everyone likes this show so much. Sure, the cast, direction, camera and writing are outstanding definitely some of the best on TV, but I found the story to be lacking the entertainment value.
Not sure why this gets such great ratings. I watched a lot of season 1 then skipped to season 3, there's so much profanity, trying to make it real I guess?
So much has been spoken about The Wire's challenging "visual novel" style and deliberate pace that the show's abundance of grade A, straightforward entertainment is often overlooked. For a series whose heart and soul is rooted in realism and journalistic detail, The Wire has actually mastered cinematic conventions, whether it's the show's effortless sense of humor, the expertly crafted thrills derived from "cat-and-mouse" dynamics or the endlessly stylish stick ups of Omar Little.
