That was thematic and no one commented on the argument, which I found disappointing. And a couple of others at alternative weeklies figured it out again, perhaps, because theyre less vested than everyone at the big, vulnerable dailies. Almost everything in the show from the dialogue to the outcomes felt refreshingly believable. The school system has been teaching test questions to improve No Child Left Behind scores, and to protect the mayor politically and to validate a system that is failing to properly educate city children. Drug wars, territorial disputes, and the assassination of the citys largest drug importer manage to produce a brief inside the metro section that refers only to the slaying of a second-hand appliance store owner. The Wire is my favorite show of all time, but Season 5 was definitely the weakest. Reprinted with Permission. I have no idea how you were able to pick one quote out of the whole episode, to show at the beginning because almost every line is of substance. Well now, its been a week since The Wire s final episode and a certain calm has descended, leaving a little less agita and a little more reflection. He seems so confident that each person is the perpetrator then half way through the interview says 'no it's not him' very annoying. Too short. I wondered what you thought of new local titles which seek subscriptions from the community as well as community involvement in their storytelling. To debate whether Gus Haynes is more of a hero than Bunny Colvin? Dr. Hill comes up with detail after detail about the perpetrator, without any more explanation of how he did it than Sylvia Browne, psychic, ever gives. Incredible. They are gradually won over. I've been in love with Robson Green for years, and he's in top form here in "Wire in the Blood," a British TV series based on characters created by crime writer Val McDermid. I've enjoyed his first rate performances in two other series I've seen, and can't wait to see how his character's flirtation with D.I. There are many crime/mystery books and shows out there but few are done this well with excellent character development, believable plots and story lines that are on one hand complex, terrifying, fully engrossing and on the other hand funny, thoughtful and informative. It was as good as I remembered and then some. I started watching this show in series 1. This feeling of gritty realism was lost on me during the McNulty fake-killer arc. I found this series especially delightful because Robson Green's character lives within the confines of his own mind. I feel like an asshole now for saying some of that stuff. Its like the artist was told by everyone hes a genius, so he gets an inflated ego and starts throwing out abstract garbage and lording over it with the ultimate smugness. And why would carcetti suddenly give them all the money? We do what we do and people are free to react as they will. Favorite scene is Avon visiting The Pit. Dont even know where to start, and I dont think I can critique anything about this show because it critiques itself. Note: this show is designated TV-MA, because of some intense or violent scenes. Even recently I remember watching CNN and they were covering the Treyvon Martin case seemingly 24/7 and in the news ticker at the bottom of the screen there was the briefest mention of some protest in Egypt. Stars Robson Green Mark Write a television story arc about the betrayal of the working class, the fraud of the drug war or the lie of No Child Left Behind and you cant get off the entertainment pages. And it is clear that between Marlo, Snoop, and Chris, their real game was killing. I started college as a J-student and later moved to English. His rogue decision to stage serial killings was believable but Bunks toothless response and using Lester and his involvement to give credence to Jimmys scheme went beyond the pale. Such a newspaper was not chronicled onThe Wire. Cocaine Bear, the new He has a Purse your lips any tighter or hold your nose any higher? Only silver lining to that dark cloud of a series. Season five was the weakest season imho. The shows all involve murder and this is the focus of the plots. We said what we wanted to say and now everyone else is entitled to talk back without some counterbitch finding them. But absent that kind of reporting, we will all soon enough live in cities and towns where politicians and bureaucrats gambol freely without worry, where it is never a risk to shine shit and call it gold. But the rest of you blessed, scribbling souls? He's quirky, he's a little odd, but he helps to provide a different, and intellectual insight into the killer's mind. Then you have the choir, inexplicably, warbling on as if to lend some kind of gravitas to the lacklustre proceedings. And now, with the economic vise that is the internet tight around her, TheSun like so many once-worthy regional newspapers is fighting for relevance and readers. I absolutely love The Wire so I mean no disrespect when I say this (arent prefaces like that always inevitably followed by something kinda shitty and disrespectful?) After watching the awful Sorkin show The Newsroom that was so dumb and naive it was nice to see some smart and realistic drama about a newsroom. He mixes in just enough idiosyncrasies to make Hill human, endearing and sometimes down right aggravating. When I say Im an addict to this show I honestly feel like the fiends depicted in the show that dont creep out of their addiction like Bubs happened to do. Seemed pretty angry to me. We have some of these initiatives in the UK but Im not sure about the situation in the US, and Im curious to know what you think. WowIm emotionally drained. Beautiful. Love your comment. I loved how the series showed its one big circle & for everyone person saved bubbles theres a dookie, Marlo trying to become stringer but him being more like avon, Michael becoming the new Omar & many more. Good series wish could of been another series though! Plot Summary. It's like watching a big budget film on TV. We certainly expected more attention from the media. Some of the most compelling Ive seen. Meanwhile our federal government has wholesaled our highway systems, infrastructure, and debt to any country that was buying while dropping trillions of dollars into the pockets of Halliburton and the rest of the 1% in the name of fighting a war on terror. Please. However, each action, no matter how small, led to clear and defined reactions that changed the course of events. Ms. Lahbib is an unknown entity to me, but as I finished watching series 4, I felt a bit queasy. Though he shows remarkable insight into the actions of the violent and deranged, he also displays that phenomenal lack of social consciousness that is particular to geniuses and artists (as in "Yes, I just invented nuclear fission, but no, I didn't know I was supposed to wear socks and shoes to this award ceremony."). If you have not watched any of these, please go for it and watch them in order. Im proud to be from Home of the Wire There were still good journalists in our make-believe newsroom, and they did some good work just as there are still such souls in Baltimore and every city laboring in similar fashion and to similar result. Wire in the blood is now one of my favorite crime/Mystery/Drama shows for T.V. I think it is, but Id like to hear your opinion on this. By the way, Ive been through journo school in NZ, although I didnt pass (I dropped out), my tutor told me that NZ doesnt have the same problems as the USA regarding the demise of newspapers, because, according to him, NZ newspapers already run on a hard core skeleton staffing level with no subcutaneous fatwhich I always thought was bullshit. But Ill get back to the journalism angle momentarily. I have an unanswered question about the ending and it appears as though there is (or should be) a sequel to this? THOSE cops and THOSE lawyers definitely exist in abundance in all over D.C., the southside, and Baltimore. No worries. Nothing against Robson himself but his character annoys me. I knew that in a general sense the overarching theme was the demise of quality of news journalism, but finishing my binge of the season tonight (after having avoided the show for years fearing it was over-hyped and couldnt live up boy was I wrong!) Its like The Odyssey of Homer. The character development is quite entertaining. So they went from 20 to 17. Its admittedly easy enough, if you are writing a fictional television show, to sit in a diner booth or on a bar stool with a police lieutenant or an assistant principal, an assistant states attorney or a political functionary and have them tell you the good dirt, knowing as they do that fiction is a safe abstraction. The people changed but the game remained exactly the same. What really made Season 5 for me was Gus and the newsroom in general. This is an entertaining series currently available on Acorn TV. Ive re-watched this entire series again recently with the HD release (probably my 4th or 5th time watching the entire series) and in many ways it gets better the more I watch it. Producer Chris Miller explains why. During the political campaign in Season 3, when Royce was facing pressure from Carcetti, there is a subtle glimpse into the racial component. Really? I was watching for the Barksdale arc and didnt know how important season two was in the overall visual novel. I wanted to like this show, really, and Robson Green is an interesting actor, but it just doesn't cut the mustard for me. There is a last minute dash to rescue some young woman being held by a psychopath. Season 2 was the bravest thing ever seen on TV. BTW please make enough money to buy The Baltimore Sun and give it the love it so desperately needs. Hopefully there is some point in time when the majority of people become a little smarter and catch up w/ the intelligence this show possesses. There's something to be said for being able to binge an entire show from episode one to final episode when cancelled. Fiction makes everyone comfortable and talkative; journalism good, probing journalism is a much harder, much more rigorous task. I absolutely love this program so so much! In series 4, Ms Norris has left the show and Simone Lahbib as Inspecter Alex Fielding has the dubious job of reining in Hill. Rowan is following him even though she is hurt and losing blood. Tell me you didnt laugh at the burnt-doll harem in the photogs trunk. Uncensored. I have to say I loved the Wire the first time I saw it. Almost perfectly sums up my feelings about the series. Its the best series ever Not always do we get a "wrap up" episode and we didn't get one here either. Jumped that shark in high-topped Nikes, we did. Its so damn realistic. Liz (Michelle Randolph) suffered a miscarriage in the finale, and it now seems she may be unable to have children again. Thrilled at the fact that you made him irredeemable, because the reporters who do that shit truly are that way. Well played. Interesting article. Not because I missed the point about your critique of the journalist world, I got that, but because you sacrificed some of your best characters to get your point across. I loved the show, its in my top 5 of all time and I cant imagine it going anywhere. I just watched all 5 seasons over the past couple weeks and it was a pleasure. Site Created by Real Fresh Creative. Particularly the fat guy in homicide (who pissed me off so much I blocked out the characters name from memory) who would rather jerk off behind his desk to titty mags and suck off the government nipple while the whole city goes up in flames. While we have been in the longest war in U.S. history we have had to sit through endless sensationalism about: Jeb Bushs crackhead niece Noelle Bush; Terry Schiavo; Tiger Woods; Casey Anthony; Treyvon Martin then George Zimmerman; Michael Brown; and it will never end. You wanna say that its an unfair representation of modern journalism? And to studiously avoid any sustained discussion about whether the depicted newspaper is, in all respects, capturing the meaningful narrative of the depicted city? Even more awesome is how you actually continued that same thread from one season to the next, taking one subject matter and examining it from all the angles that make up the context of the entire problem. The ending was perfect, the way Omar died was perfect, the serial killer thing was perfect, but then whenever it cut back to that newsroom it dragged. See if you can purse your lips any tighter or hold your nose any higher. The bodies are then found in areas Cocaine Bear is based on a true story but the events especially the ending are very different. And to get teachers talking, even on background, about their anger and frustration at this flummery? I am a detective investigator and I am very critical with "who done it" crime solving type movies. But if we give upthen what? I dragged it past sarcasm, past cynicism, and all the way to balls-out snide. I was already a cynic before 9/11, then The Wire came. Omar and Prop Joe were the last good guys among the bad guys and both of them had to go down, while Snoop the Psycho Bitch who deserved at least a few weeks of good torture gets off easy with a single shot to the head. If your a fan of the genre and have not yet discovered Dr.Tony Hill I recommend that you do. Buy SD $1.99. But youre entitled to enjoy one thing more than another, and youre even entitled to wonder about a filmmakers or writers motivations and standing, whether or not you actually have any evidence of its relevance or not. Tony Hill finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings when he travels to Texas to assist the local district attorney in the case of Darius Grady who is accused of murdering his wife and two children. The political corruption, the cronyism, the back-asswards views on racism which prevent all minorities from getting a real say in anything lest they be deemed racist- and most agonizingly, the completely screwball insanity that is the PG County school system is exactly like the way you depicted life in Baltimore. You want to suggest that the creator of the project has his nose in the air for being interested in the matter at all, and that you have some insight into his temperament? Liz had sent a distress call to the two medics, and they all make an attempt to flee in an ambulance. And unsubtle. Carcetti seemed to both indirectly affirm the beliefs of the more racist/prejudiced white politicians that a white mayor who could possibly whiten up the administration, would weed out the corruption, and at the same time did his best to work with the black members of the citys congress, businesses, police force and school systems, etc. Ha! Okay, you probably hate me by now so Ill shut up. But inflated ego, ultimate smugness, etc? No. No show has ever, EVER done that. If I didnt know the show was set in Baltimore it just as easily could have been set in Lanham, Capitol Heights, District Heights, Temple Hills, Forestville. If season five didnt work for you, then it didnt work for you. Ps. Gus opining that there was a time when no perp walk would take place with a call first being made to the broadsheets to make sure it was covered. The newsroom story arc wasnt lost on me i believe some of the characters in the newsroom just didnt grip you as much as the other areas which makes it seem the weaker part. I still rewatch twice a year and its my all-time favourite series. The creative and honest mind of the writers is put on the screen with a quality job of directing. Simone Lahbib is a favorite UK actor, but if forced to choose in this series, I'd have to go with Green/ Norris. In this format youre not going to have stark revelations, a happy and blissful montage followed by a cut to black. Ive just completed my third viewing of the entire series. There were three full-length movies: "The Mermaid's Singing", "Shadows Rising", and "Justice Painted Blind". And yes, in real life, there wasnt much written about such in my city. You dont like the last season of a television drama, feel free to venture an opinion. Thank you so much for making The Wire, it ruined every other tv show. Grim. In response to a few specific complaints Ive come across rather frequently in regards to the season: How is it remotely plausible that Marlo walked free? The crime drama, which is made David Simon, a reporter for the Baltimore Sun for thirteen years, is the executive producer of HBOs The Wire. I found it as an interesting way to dispel the notion that one given group of people is more inclined or indoctrinated to corruption and lies than the other, but also that in any given sector of a society, you will usually find it is those who know that very truth full and well, who perpetuate that lie, in order to make themselves feel better about their shortcomings. Crown me up and kneel, ya bitches. Just depressing the way it wallows in the depravity of the serial killers and hits you over the head with it. Watched the first four seasons in 07-08 and decided to save S5 so I could pretend it wasnt over finally caved this week and watched it, andTHANK YOU! The suits in Chicago are running scared. This statement is meant to include: Mark Letheren(DI Kevin Jeffries); Emma Handy (DC Paula McIntyre) and Peter Sullivan (ACC Paul Eden). Coming into the series after nearly a decade of being exposed to the general hype and season five criticism, I finished season five feeling just as I would imagine you intended. A mayor was elected governor while his police commanders made aggravated assaults and robberies disappear. This makes for some truly unusual and amusing situations, that help bring levity to the gruesome crimes he investigates. Season 5 was tremendous, I can only assume the criticism comes from those who still believe that high standards of journalistic integrity are still the goal of the modern news room. I binged watch all 5 seasons, The Wire is the best tv series in tv history. Comparatively, many of the black characters who could have made gains by playing the same game, either didnt or chose not to. Every time I sit down to watch it again, more and more of the depth reveals itself. With Robson Green, Elaine Claxton, Hermione Norris, Richard Frame. Thank you for this clue-in as well, I admit I missed most of it. I was lucky enough to have a copy taped from BBC America (cheers, Mom!) Great job started watching a lil when I was in like 4th or 5th grade before I really understood all of it but re watched it recently and its my favorite series. Also what I find tedious is that in every episode it try's to make you believe that a number of people are guilty but aren't. By that, I mean the sense from many of white politicians in the city holding this belief that the city was corrupted because blacks were the ones that made up the majority of the police department, and had a black mayor in Royce. Lets be clear, though. Marlo gets away clean and he keeps his money, Avon lives happily ever after in prison, McNulty gets screwed, the lying reporter wins a damn Pulitzer, and oh yeah, OMAR GETS KILLED BY A LITTLE KID?! It would be better if he was slick like the Will Grayham character in red dragon. To argue about whether the drama had become arch or unsubtle? Cocaine Bear is based on a true story but the events especially the ending are very different. Regarding the final season, was there any sort of fake serial killer or fake serial criminal real-life story that inspired you? David Simon I dont think you have given up yet or maybe you would go off and retire like Marlo. At least youre not complete sadists. Im an asshole. basically that whole hood that was the result of DC trying to lower crime stats by forcing all the hood rats over the Maryland line. I dunno. But the fifth-season story arc began with a wonderful bit of adversarial reporting on deadline good, clean newspapering it was. I too felt really indecisive about season 2 on my first watch and have grown to love it more and more over time, just like you. In the confrontation that follows, Adam shows him the photographs he took No expose published. If anything I learned after watching The Wire series (for my 4th or 5th time) is that quick comments or knee-jerk reactions about the themes discussed just dont play. Firstly thank you David Simon, Ed Burns and a host of talented and courageous collaborators for telling it like it is. Robson Green in Wire in the Blood. Photograph: ITV ITV has axed Robson Green drama Wire in the Blood after six years in what is seen as the latest cost cutting move by the network. All the characters have distinct and believable personalities. Herc just needed to get run over, along with Levy, and bleed out slowly suffering much in the process. Thanks David for all you did to bring it into the world. I dunno. WITB is a dark, gritty, British crime drama that most all will heartily enjoy.. should you like the genre. You let Bubbles live. Or are you just that pissed and depressed about the world that you cant help but force your misery on your viewers? Im not. Did you always have in mind from the start to have the fake news/fake crime stories play in tandem? How is Baltimore under Trumps term. Every single time I watch this show over again, I notice something I never saw before, and get instant gratification for going back again and re-watching it. Hes just being painfully honest. There are multiple scantily clad young women who get brutally murdered. With no consequences for either, even Herc the Assclown who monumentally fucked up every single case he was put on? I worked at a newspaper with a POS liar who made up quotes, and the editor was obsessed with him and looked the other way (on the fake quotes and also, grossly, sexual harassment). Missing a storyIm still writingstill kills me. Love it. I just marathoned the entire series in less than 2 weeks (okay, so Im unemployed & have the time on my hands) and now I see why The Wire got so much acclaim in its day. Maybe I prefer more violent things. If I had to wager a guess, something I noticed was that, in the first four seasons, there was always at least one or two characters who were, either struggling or chafing against the numerous failings in the institutions that were highlighted in each season, (I.e. I just want to watch it over and over again without stopping. OK so Rawls put him on a boat for while. Watch Wire In The Blood: Prayer Of The Bone, The plastic "blue bag" that Tony Hill is often seen with was gleaned from Robson Green's research for Wire in the Blood, which involved spending time with revered criminal psychologist Julian Boon, who Green describes in part as an "extraordinary, intelligent, nice guy who carried his life in a blue bag and travelled on a double-decker bus. While he is cold and calculating, from the moment we met him Omar has a big heart and made decisions based on his emotional reaction. And then Season 5 happens. | Most commentary has season 4 as the best and has season 5 as the least best. I would have liked to have seen more scenes with randy & neymond though just to make it feel like they hadnt been forgotten especially as Michael & dookie didnt even mention them by name about same with nick sabotka maybe a conversation about the docks with someone after abusing the mayor & kracheck I like how it felt like a big open world & people could bump into each other. THE BEST FUCKING SERIES I EVER WATCHED! In the annals of time, you documented as close to the reality of the DMV as you could get away with, its just too bad that people will always be calling it fiction., (*this is a better-edited version of my prior comment). Echoes and Layers: Tony Lazlo Looks Back at The Wire CC2K, Why The Wire Should Be Must-See TV for Baltimore Pundits | Variety, All the pieces matter: analysis, essays, and anything else on The Wire | ReadJack.com. Although its one of my favorites, the only things in common with "Wire" are forensic psychologists profiling murderous sickos, and helping the police catch 'em. Thats exactly would happen to people in the real world. I wanted catharis toobut I was raised on ER. Web2. Theres a reason people say youre a genius and why your show is perhaps the best in history. In The Hunger Games films, President Snow (Donald Sutherland) coughs up blood for a specific reason. Omars death/Omar returning to Baltimore: We all wanted to see Omars last stand be in a bloody shootout with a high body count, but anyone paying attention to the story being told knew it wouldnt go down like that. Righteous journalism that makes a good reporter get up in the morning. Robson Green is incredibly impressive (and maybe a little bit scary) as eccentric psychological profiler Dr. Tony Hill, and Hermione Morris does a great job as tough DI Carol Jordan, a woman in what is still very much a man's world.
