David Simon I dont think you have given up yet or maybe you would go off and retire like Marlo. WITB is a dark, gritty, British crime drama that most all will heartily enjoy.. should you like the genre. This feeling of gritty realism was lost on me during the McNulty fake-killer arc.

No-one looked at him twice.". And to studiously avoid any sustained discussion about whether the depicted newspaper is, in all respects, capturing the meaningful narrative of the depicted city? I hated Marlo for his ruthlessness but I respect that you gave him a realistic ending-they could not realistically build a case against him bc of police corruption. I may be the only one who remembers how he blew two critical moments in the Port case during season 2 all due to his general stupidity and self-centeredness- along with being responsible for Randys torment due Herc selling him out to find the camera he lost AND poor Bubbles getting brutalized on the street over and over for the exact same reason. It would be better if he was slick like the Will Grayham character in red dragon. You had the ambitious lying dick with no redeemable qualities, the very honorable and honest veteran, some young black guy who covered Bubbles, the villainous senior editors, and a girl who was a good reporter.

I guess Cedric Daniels, Stringer Bell and Bunny Colvin tried with horrible results. My comment amounts to little more than unwanted negative feedback for a show that ended 5 years ago. The acting is excellent, but I find this show way too unsubtle, lurid, and melodramatic. Jobson develops in future episodes. But it went over my head, that the newspaper, completely missed every major story about what went on in the city. But why would he go around looking for Marlo, wasnt he a bit smarter than that?

While the Arab Spring was happening, the only thing you could find on news TV was tabloid coverage of a murder case. 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. To me, the climactic conclusion of the show happened in S5E9 and E10 was more of the epilogue, allowing us to digest what happened and gain some insight on where things are headed for the city.

The Wire will be studied in the future. There were three full-length movies: "The Mermaid's Singing", "Shadows Rising", and "Justice Painted Blind". I just graduated and 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?! Good series wish could of been another series though! In this case, our lead character is Dr. Tony Hill. Who am I to bitch about how you decided to end your own show?

In series 4, Ms Norris has left the show and Simone Lahbib as Inspecter Alex Fielding has the dubious job of reining in Hill. The character development is quite entertaining. Fiction makes everyone comfortable and talkative; journalism good, probing journalism is a much harder, much more rigorous task. Favorite scene is Avon visiting The Pit. Brilliant! This show mattered and it still does. Why couldnt we have gone one more season with the show? I see commentary all the time where the seasons are ranked and there seems to be a common thread.

I just wish more Americans were still capable of thinking. Entertaining but formula driven and with plot holes! That was a bit beyond the historical reality; at the historicalBaltimore Sun, he was a mere Pulitzer finalist. It was amazing television. The show and books are dark and twisted. The plots, moreover, are taut and well-written. I sincerely believe S4 is the best season of any show in existence and overall, The Wire is the best-told story Ive ever experienced in television. The only story that I noticed that the newspaper missed was when they mentioned Prop Joe. I was focused solely on the fact that the the newspaper was in a battle over the homelessness killings issue in a sense that their biggest problem right now was sensationalism and lies versus honest reporting. The Lester wed come to know was indeed a maverick, but not a moron. I have been seeing quite a lot of this show on TV lately and i find it surprisingly entertaining. I absolutely love this program so so much! This makes for some truly unusual and amusing situations, that help bring levity to the gruesome crimes he investigates. Producer Chris Miller explains why.

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. The writing is exceptional, especially for the episode, "Torment". Nothing against Robson himself but his character annoys me. At least youre not complete sadists. And a couple of others at alternative weeklies figured it out again, perhaps, because theyre less vested than everyone at the big, vulnerable dailies. After a while, we tired of the gore and wished the series would end. In one of the best scenes of the series, Lasher follows Keith to a random shack in the People who are innocent are very rude to the police and refuse to co-operate for no apparent reason. 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).

Anyway, Im straying from my point: thank you for defining this additional layer to the theme of S5. I had only heard of it but didnt know it was the drug I needed in my life to actively engage in social discussions the way you do so well in this series. Other than Breaking Bad. WebRobson Green (Grantchester, Touching Evil) plays a clinical psychologist called in by the police to help investigate serial killers in this acclaimed mystery series based on the books by Val McDermid. What really made Season 5 for me was Gus and the newsroom in general. Wed get a rant or two from whoever he screwed over, then next episode or season all is forgiven, forgotten and everyones back to good ole Jimmy again.

I am writing my thesis on THE WIRE This argument strucked me when Omar died and no one noticed it in The Sun No institutional memory, no quality journalism. When we were beating the story out, Bill Zorzi wondered whether in the final episode it might be necessary for Gus Haynes to vocalize the theme, to turn to Alma or Luxenberg or some other character and say, Were so thin, and we waste what little resources we have left on the wrong things. 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. No worries. Gruesome scenes, Very dark and depressing at times. Great blog, it confirms my suspicions of the final season but wasnt enough to change my mind about it. However in the case of season 5, as you pointed out, even the remaining good journalists such as Gus, are, to a degree, complicit in missing every major story. Perhaps one on the books it is based on might warm me up to it. Damn, I think I might just sit down and watch the whole thing again to see what else Ive missed.

It would not have been easy for a veteran police reporter to pull all the police reports in the Southwestern District and find out just how robberies fell so dramatically, to track each individual report through staff review and find out how many were unfounded and for what reason, or to develop a stationhouse source who could tell you about how many reports went unwritten on the majors orders, or even further to talk to people in that district who tried to report armed robberies and instead found themselves threatened with warrant checks or accused of drug involvement or otherwise intimidated into dropping the matter. No television series has ever lived with me the way The Wire has. Wire in the Blood, is first of all a showcase for the excellent acting skills of the charismatic Robson Green. With Robson Green, Elaine Claxton, Hermione Norris, Richard Frame. Both are similar, and both are very good. Its disappointing to read the entire comment thread and see that no one picked up on those journalistic themes either, but I saw every single one of them- which is why I watched season 5 in total frustration as every cut back to the Baltimore Sun went straight into the same mire of bullshit all journalists everywhere in America now live in.
