DVD Reviews of The Wire - Seasons 1-4
DVD Review: The Wire - As in, walk the line!
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I am not a prudish person but I am getting a bit tired of HBO deciding that the only word worth repeating over and over in the English language is the "F" word. It seems their characters, be it in Deadwood or The Wire have an obsession with this word and can't seem to talk intelligently without it.
While the acting in both series was excellent and the story line was intriguing, trying to figure out what the characters were actually saying in "The Wire" was a real challenge. I realize that people in the ghetto speak their own language but, frankly, I fail to appreciate the fact that people who have responsible positions in society (the police in all their positions)also cannot get past using constant "gutter" language. It assails my ears and, frankly, I may be naive in believeing that surely all people in higher positions do not feel the need to use gutter language throughout the day.
As in Deadwood (and I do not agree with those who created this series, that this was the everyday language of the people in Deadwood at that time), even though the story line was interesting, the acting well done (outside the fact that certain characters couldn't say a sentence without every third word being "F____")I stopped buying the series so as to get on to something entertaining but less assailing to my ears!
I doubt I will spend any more money on The Wire, as I watch movies for my own pleasure and to give me release from a busy day and, yes, quiet possibly to have a point made without a lot of potty mouth!

The DVDs were impossible to watch! They were given as a Christmas gift, and the recipient has already requested my receipt so that they could be returned. If there is any way you can facilitate the return, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You,

Description of The Wire - Seasons 1-4
Unlike most television crime dramas which neatly introduce and then solve a case all in the space of one hour HBO's THE WIRE follows one single drug and homicide investigation throughout the length of an entire season. Focused on the drug culture of inner-city Baltimore the series' ultra-realistic storyline unfolds from the points of view of both the criminals lording the streets the police officers determined to bring them down and occasionally the politicians who often obstruct the process. Created by writer David Simon (THE CORNER HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET) THE WIRE's multifaceted approach offers a profoundly humane and wonderfully nuanced view of every aspect of the drug trade and the complex morality of its participants. The first four seasons of the show are included here.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/HBO UPC:?026359794421 Manufacturer No:?97944General DVDs
