Summary: Great Series Finale
Comment: I got this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present and he loved it! He had been waiting to see the whole season again since the series last episode ended. It was great!!! I'm glad we have the complete season now!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Must Have
Comment: The final season of this critically acclaimed and underappreciated series does not disappoint. Acting, writing wonderful as with the other seasons. You just wish there was more.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Season 4 is a masterpiece, 5 is just good
Comment: If you're a fan of The Wire, you've probably already seen the first four seasons and you have your personal favorite episodes, plotlines, characters and seasons. I'm viewing this series for the first time starting with four (as recommended) which was the most riveting television of my life. Five doesn't disappoint. This season's angle reflecting the role of the media in addressing, ignoring and or perpetuating society's problems is an interesting one but surely doesn't resonnate as well with viewers as Four which dealt with Baltimore kids and public schools.
If you're NOT a fan of this show and just pondering a season to view, I wouldn't recommend starting here. HOWEVER, because of the intricate way the Show's writers & producers script each season as (well, close to) a series unto itself with different themes & perspectives, you won't struggle with the ending. What I mean is this isn't the kind of show where if you missed everything from the first four seasons, you won't get the ending. Perhaps sadly this isn't a Season that ties together a lot of loose ends from earlier seasons though some plotlines reach their dramatic climax.
Easily one of the best and most realistic shows of TV history.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great price and fast delivery
Comment: This dvd set was priced well below retail stores. Target was selling it for $20 more. Can't beat the price (and free shipping, too). I will definitely buy through this site again.

Editorial Reviews:

In the projects. On the docks. In City Hall. In the schools. And now, in the media. The places and faces have changed, but the game remains the same. Times are tough for the detail. Mayor Carcetti has slashed the departments budget to the bone. Police are operating without overtime some without cars and radios. Angered, McNulty is off the rails again and headed down a dangerous path of deception and lies that will ally him with an unscrupulous reporter. The drug trade still rules the corners, all you have to do is read between the lines. DVD Features:
Audio Commentary
Featurette
