Editorial Reviews:
|
With the fall of Barksdale and the ascent of young Marlo Stanfield as West Baltimore's drug king, the detail continues to "follow the money" up the political ladder in the midst of a mayoral election that pits the black incumbent, Clarence Royce, against an ambitious white councilman, Tommy Carcetti. The theme of urban education is explored through four new characters â€" Michael Lee, Namond Brice, Randy Wagstaff and "Dukie" Weems as they traverse adolescence in the stunted, drug-saturated streets of West Baltimore. The world that awaits these boys and the American commitment to equal opportunity are depicted brilliantly in the edgy, all too realistic Season 4 of The Wire.

Summary: Great stuff
Comment: Great stuff. I feel like I know the whole g'dam town of Baltimore, from top to bottom. Seriously, it's like these people aren't even actors. In fact, you can't even imagine them as actors, being away from the set, that's how good they are. It doesn't even seem possible that they're acting. There's probably not too much higher praise you can give an actor than this. This is like going to see a great movie at the Cineplex, only the effing thing is 100 hours long, and you get to watch it go on and on, and the quality never goes down-- just stays at the same high level. Thanks guys. Great work.

Summary: "Life" isn't fair...it's "life"...
Comment: Just finished the set...3 days. I find irony in the fact that one of the most beautiful things ever created was born of ugliness. If aliens were to come down to Earth, curious about what it meant to be human, I would show them "The Wire". I don't feel much hope, day to day. It's tough to be positive. Erosion. Winners and losers. You can't win in this life without being a little evil it seems. No good deed and all of that...just watch the show. It's a gift in a world that eats corporate s^%t and begs for more. Embrace the truth, do what you can...subtract from the evil, don't add. All you can do...maybe you'll make it...
..but probably not.

Summary: The Best season of the best series ever made.
Comment: If you haven't already seen the Wire, see it. There is nothing better. This is in my opinion the best season of it. It is the most intelligent, raw and simply brilliant television show ever made, buy it.

Summary: Continues to Impress
Comment: I have to admit, when I finished the first season, I was bummed. I was sure no subsequent seasons could match it. Surprise, they all have, including this one. The writing remains so excellent, season after season, it's amazing. This is truly one of the finest crime dramas ever, including movies. The depth and complexity of the characters and the quality of the storytelling, just unsurpassed this side of Sopranos. That said, I have to share some parts that had me wincing (spoiler alert maybe):
- When Bubbles tragically kills his young friend. This thing, when the poison meant for an enemy accidentally kills a friend, may be Shakespearian, but it's also been around since Shakespeare and is really tired. I was disappointed to see such a played-out, contrived manipulation in the middle of a show that I love because it almost always avoids stuff like this.
- The dimwitted, fortune-cookie-style psychobabble coming out of McNulty's mouth. Junk like, "I just gotta keep me outta my own way!" Yes, we get it, he's turned a corner... did he have o get all Dr. Phil on us?
- The boxing coach ending up with the ER nurse. This part of the epilogue is straight ut of a John Hughes film. Puke.
...and a few other things. Believe me, if I took the time to write out all the things I loved about this season, the list would go to the moon and back. I was Skeptical when i saw the kids on the cover, as storylines involving kids, in movies and TV, usually suck. Or else the kids' acting does. Not so here. It was great. I was also afraid that Prez would turn into some archetypal "savior-teacher" who would get all of his kids to pass the AP Trig test or something. What a relief, it didnt turn out that way.
