Rating  - The End Of Brilliance
The fifth and final season of The Wire does what you expect and raises the stakes putting everything on the line careers,families and lives. The final season of The Wire ends the way it started and that's on top. This is one of a few shows that always got it right needless to say if your a Wire fan I don't need to tell you this you have already bought it just like me.
Rating - Plain and Simple
The Wire as a whole is a work of sheer brilliance. In my opinion every season is deserving of 5 stars - especially if you compare it to the majority of what passes for "thoughtful" and "intelligent" television and film. If you can't get into it or understand it then there is simply no hope for you and you should maybe watch Two And A Half Men or the laughably unrealistic Law & Order series.
The Wire is THE TRUTH.
Rating  - Not the best season of The Wire, but still outshines the rest of TV.
The Wire is one of the greatest shows ever to have been on television, if not the best ever. The fifth season was not the best of the Wire, but there are reasons for that. HBO ordered only 8 episodes, and the show's creators had to fight to get 10 (the other seasons were 13 episodes). As a result, it feels rushed, and we don't get the sense of characters that we got from earlier seasons. Still, it is a great show, giving us a unique look into the "behind-the-scenes" at the Baltimore Sun while continuing to follow the characters we have grown to love. Do yourself the service of finishing the series up, especially if you've followed the others.
I'm going to miss this show.
Rating - Best Series Ever
The entire series of The Wire from season 1 to season 5 is one of the best tv series I have ever watched. It's a shame this is the last one. If you have a little extra time, watch this tv show!!!!
Rating - The Wire: The Final (and best) Season
Although it didn't have the publicity of "The Sopranos" or "Sex & The City", it does have a big fan base and it's very popular. Kudos to the production team for keeping the show fresh by having different storylines for every season. And the last season was probably the best yet by focusing on the press while at the same time focusing on the main characters. There will never be another show like The Wire. A superb cast, superb writing, but little respect from the critics.
