Diagonaldi Very well executed

IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

henryshear This show was absolutely amazing and the first of its kind. Breaking Bad, Narcos, and Sons of Anarchy all had not come out yet. This show was the first to give an in-depth look into the world of drugs and how people are affected by drugs or how people become involved. The world of drugs is explored through multiple avenues involving the boat trade, politics, police, and the criminals themselves. The Wire shows drugs as a character and how it affects people's desires, ambitions, and thoughts. The city of Baltimore is a character as well. The show uses the city well to its advantage. Using the port of Baltimore to show crime as well as showing the corruption among cops being paid off by the drug lords. This show was the first to introduce me to the world of corrupt cops. At 12, that is when I first learned how brutal cops can be in interrogations and how slimy they are when they want to climb the ladder. This show has a beautiful arrangement of characters that are very funny, cruel, and only at times, kind. I learned a lot from this show and most certainly suggest it.

murphyevan19 This is without doubt one of the best tv shows ever made. Everything about it from the characters, the dialogue, the story arcs, the pace... it's amazing. It is so realistic.

K. R. I must admit, it took me a LONG time to get it together and watch this show.I remember I started out trying to watch it but gave up after ½ - 1 ½ episodes.I guess I wasn't in the right mood at the time.This show turned out to be so good, I am afraid that I will never feel this way about another show.I just finished watching the last episode as I am writing this review so I have not had time to think everything through, but I must say that I am happy I watched this show and I understand why it gets as much credit as it does.Truly deserved.I can't praise this show enough, the actors, directors, costume designers, story editors, EVERYONE involved in making this show what it is, deserve credit.This show truly shows how the world works on different levels, how everything is connected, but you never see the full picture. Well here you get to sit back and get the full picture presented to you.I will most definitely watch this show again at some point, which is a big compliment from me.

jasonmcguire-17134 Awesome show. give it a season it's gritty, real and it's from actual notes of an ex balti cop and journalist. this isn't sensationalized hollywood fluff and it has a story where you don't want to stop watching. you'll notice most of the actors went on to do great things and this was their start; it catapulted them but still maintains its credibility. i've seen basically all the big tv series, all of them, from start to finish this is the best. hands down.
