(Season 5, Episode 10, Series Finale) I knew that the end was coming, and I had myself prepared for it, but I have to admit that I miss The Wire. After having experienced the full run of the series, I understand completely why every fan I talked to about the show said it was the […]
(Season 5, Episodes 7-9) Well, just one episode of The Wire left. I was a little nervous at first, figuring that there was too much to wrap up, but then I saw that episode ten is an hour and a half long. Thank goodness. I was a little upset that this season was only ten […]
(Season 5, Episodes 4-6) For some reason, I’m having trouble connecting with the new characters from the Baltimore Sun. I don’t know if I’m just a little burnt out on The Wire, or if there is something deeper at work. It seems like the show isn’t spending as much time at the newspaper as it […]

(Season 4, Episodes 8-10) Well, the season isn’t getting any lighter. Not that I expected it would, but man it can really be tough to watch at times. I’m certainly not unhappy with the season, and I’m still enjoying and appreciating the well done show, it’s just a lot heavier than previous seasons… and where […]
