  I saw entire series on DVD and just loved it.
  I think its one of the best TV series i ever saw in my life. In fact after seeing it i felt i wont like anything that calls it police or detective series.
  
  It was new experience to me since I am from Bombay and far removed from the realities of streets of USA forget about Baltimore or Harlem or Bronx. But whatever little i saw made me feel that this was the best representation of the people of such streets not the fabled characters we always see in other glossed TV series of Hollywood movies.
  
  I wish simon will think of 6, 7, 8 , 9......seasons!

  If you are a fan of The Wire then you must watch the first series David Simon wrote for HBO, "The Corner". This is where I first became a fan of Simon's. (Plus being a Baltimorean living away from there now). It was an excellent story, the actors were amazing. Don't stop writing David - we want more!!!

  Quite simply, THE WIRE is the most important and the best television series ever. Period. Along with August Wilson's ten play Century Cycle, THE WIRE will show future generations who we were and how we got to who they are. In an election year everybody needs to watch it, especially those who live in the cities battling to maintain their humanity and moral ethics, before they cast a vote. The only consolation I have in it's ending is that it was done to begin with, and that Mr.'s Simon and Burns along with it's stellar cast , led by the magnificent Clarke Peters, will not only work again, but be as defiant and subversive and brilliant as they were here. An American masterpiece.
