The Wire television program represents one of the most unique shows in annals of TV history. The Wire was aired on HBO beginning in 2002 and ending in 2008. The show ran for five seasons on the HBO network. The Wire box set is now available. The Wide complete DVD collection features all sixty shows that ran on HBO during the lifetime of the series. The Wire was the brainchild of David Simon, who is an author and previously served as police officer in the City of Baltimore, Maryland. Although many times The Wire has been pegged as being a police or crime drama, it really is much, much more. In viewing The Wire DVDs you will find that the show is about all of the different facets of life in an urban setting, specifically in Baltimore. In this regard, the shows on The Wire DVDs focus on the city government, the school system, the port of Baltimore, the print news media in the city and the drug trade and crime. Another of the unique features seen in the episodes that are included in The Wire box set is that the series utilized a very large cast that consisted mainly of character actors. The actors that appear on on The Wire complete collection are largely unknown for any other roles in which they have played in the past. Additionally, several Baltimore public figures – including a current and former mayor – appeared in the program despite having no acting experience. These facts actually lend a powerful level of believability to The Wire DVDs and individual shows. Although none of the individual episodes included in The The Wire complete collection really achieved significant commercial success and while the show never really took in any major television awards, on numerous occasions The Wire has been referred to by renowned critics as one of the greatest (if not most important) television series in all of history. This is due to the fact the show is extremely believable and starkly realistic in its portrayal of socio-political themes, urban life, artistic ambitions and so forth. In the final analysis, The Wire complete has been praised for defying television traditions by fully, completely and honestly portraying a whole range of truly human issues and emotions. The fact is that thanks to The Wire box set it is expected that an ever widening audience will be able to enjoy this powerful television experience.
