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. The fifth and final season of THE WIRE excavates yet another layer of city life: the media. As budget cutbacks for both the police and the press threaten their public missions, they also gives rise to corruption. Show creator David Simon (a former Baltimore reporter himself) interweaves the story of a young journalist faking stories for the Baltimore Sun with that of Detective McNulty (Dominic West), who concocts a serial killer in order to funnel funds to an underground investigation of drug dealer Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector). As always, the show's superb cast of characters--including a late appearance by stickup artist Omar Little (Michael K. Williams)--and sharply drawn institutions influence each other in ways that lay bare the determining forces of society; few television shows would attempt it, and fewer still would succeed. As THE WIRE comes to a close, some loose ends are tied up while others are left dangling. It's a testament to the show that it honors life's lack of resolution rather than the tidy, and ultimately dishonest, wrap-ups of most cop shows. Wire - The Complete Fifth Season Reviews: 5 stars out of 5 -- "Creating a microcosm of a broken nation, THE WIRE remained, to the very last fade-out montage, as messy and often painful as life itself. Believe the hype: this is a masterpiece..."-- Nick De Semlyen, Empire "The Baltimore-set show remains among the most completely accomplished and uncompromisingly ambitious dramas of recent years."-- James Bell, Sight and Sound
This is the only Jamie Hector video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Aiden Gillen, Michelle Paress, Clarke Peters.

Wire - The Complete Fifth Season Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A wonderfull end to a beautifull series!
Don't worry if you have'nt seen any of the four prior seasonsof The Wire, this set does'nt fail to deliver ! It continues to look at the ongoing war on the streets (from both sides of the law), as well as the one in politics. The series also takes a look at the inside world of the news papers, which is an interesting twist. Fans of this show, will be pleased to know that all their favorite characters return for the series' fifth and final season, and for those who are new to the show, but like urban dramas will be hooked to this show!
