The Wire is not only the best programme on television again but, amazingly, even better than the first series
Gritty, utterly involving cop show. A dozen slices of brilliance.
I found this a lot better than the first series, probably helped by the fact i already knew the characters. Plot lines and acting are fantastic, not a bad actor among them. I cannot recommend this enough. I am not a fan of 'cop' shows, but this and The Shield are the only ones worth watching.
If anything, better than the superb first series. The second run sees the introduction of a plotline parallel to the cat-and-mouse games familiar to anybody who watched 'The Wire' from the start. Yet again we see incredible writing, acting and storytelling, but if anything, with more depth than the first series. Guest directors and writers, such as Ernest Dickerson and George Pelecanos add further spice. You really cant go wrong with this; I couldn't wait to see the next installment as soon as an episode finished. Perfection.
