The Wire - The Complete Second Season (DVD, 2005, 5-Disc Set)

HBO's "The Wire" is perhaps the best series ever on TV. The cast is mostly unknowns with the exception of Dominic West, but the performances are stellar. The writing is taught and the story line compelling. I enjoyed the series when it was on in 2002 and am enjoying it even more for a second time thanks to the DVD release. The special features are a bit sparse, with only a commentary track here and there. I was hoping for interviews and a blooper reel, but no such luck. If you even slightly enjoy a good police procedural don't miss "The Wire."

After working at 2 law enforcement agencies since "the wire" first came out, and hearing rave reviews of it, I thought I'd give it a try. Almost watched Season 1 straight through. Probably did 2 hours a night of it right through the TV writers strike. Was fantastic. Just starting Season 2 and it's starting off right. Love that they show both the good and bad of working for a police agency, and the difficulties in actually working a case to fruition, and how so many little agenda's jeapordize a good days work. Kudos' to the writing staff of "The Wire", and to the actors, who are wholly believable as their characters.

I bought these thinking my husband was going to think it was corny. I knew he liked the show but I didnt realize how much until Christmas. After opening Season 2, then 1, then 3. He dropped everything even before our kids were done unwrapping, and went in the bedroom and started watching Season 1. We had to go to my mothers house for Christmas dinner, and we had a 2 hour drive. He didnt want to go, becuase he wanted to watch his movies. Well our kids both got their own portable dvd players for Christmas, and one of our kids offered their dvd player to him for the two hour trip. Needless to say, I drove there and I drove home. My husband really loves this show, and cannot wait for Season 4 to come out on dvd!!!

I love this series. I have seen probably 60% of the episodes for the entire series and I love them. This particular season is different, not bad, just different. Still keeps your attention, it just goes a different direction. You have to watch all the seasons to make the series complete though.

The Wire Quickly be came one of my most favorite TV Dramas of all time. My first copy was stolen and I needed 2 replace it. The one thing I disliked about season 2 was that they went away from what made season 2 famous!!! But it's still a must have....
