Wow, I cant believe that went over my head too David. You had the ambitious lying dick with no redeemable qualities, the very honorable and honest veteran, some young black guy who covered Bubbles, the villainous senior editors, and a girl who was a good reporter. We sucked. The clues about The Sun missing important stories are there in plain sight. I found this series especially delightful because Robson Green's character lives within the confines of his own mind.

Rawls and Valchek were just as bad- and the reason they all irked me so much is because its way closer to the truth than people want to admit. Righteous journalism that makes a good reporter get up in the morning. It is important to give the newcomer a distinctive identity. I recently watched The Wire for the first time this year, and since have done my best to find critical analyses and articles that could help meaningfully fill the void left after the show. 1) The newsroom angle was a good idea but perhaps the show writers were a bit too close to it. Thinking back on Season 5, theres an interesting dynamic I think I picked up and just would like to know if it was intentional or if Im just reading too much into things. Every time I sit down to watch it again, more and more of the depth reveals itself. Not that your intention with this blog was to do that.

Photograph: ITV ITV has axed Robson Green drama Wire in the Blood after six years in what is seen as the latest cost cutting move by the network. But if we give upthen what? Love The Wire. The character development and the way each characters persona was mirrored throughout each realm (from the street, to the BPD, to the courthouse, city hall, the ports, the newsroom) is the most amazing writing Ive ever seen. In the confrontation that follows, Adam shows him the photographs he took Fucking worthless, fuck hbo! At least youre not complete sadists. You wanna say that its an unfair representation of modern journalism? I just wish more Americans were still capable of thinking. Couldnt resist, sorry. If you like your murder mysteries uncensored this is the best one. The fact that my appreciation for every single season changed over time due to rewatching the show over and over, proves how good this series as a whole really is. You win.

Robson Green is incredibly impressive (and maybe a little bit scary) as eccentric psychological profiler Dr. Tony Hill, and Hermione Morris does a great job as tough DI Carol Jordan, a woman in what is still very much a man's world. Every cut back to that newsroom made me almost fast-forward save for not wanting to miss something that is important to the rest of the story. Otherwise this character seemed to constantly walk between the raindrops rarely suffering real consequences for his selfishness. He displays tremendous potential; one can hope that he will continue to create performances that are filled with the humanity, compassion and insight that "Tony Hill" shows us. This series is generally well-scripted and acted. I'm a big fan of good,clever mystery. And remember the part where you saw the lady outside selling snowballs, the postal carrier was able to deliver mail, people were outside hanging laundry so you could tell that the 14% drop was substantial in that district. Starring: Robson Green, Simone Lahbib. Is McNulty still clean etc. What a way for a series to go out. Season 2 was the bravest thing ever seen on TV. WebSeason 6. At least the stakes matter. I guess Im just ranting about how I fell in love with this show and can never get enough of it. This is really a two part TV series.. the first three seasons with Green and Norris.. bit.ly/1780gxl .. in the leads, and the second three with Green and Lahbib.. bit.ly/13Pgcqi .. I came late to The Wire, having heard many great things about it from others over the years. No story is subject to referendum, at least not in my shop. Im not. So it makes you wonder what actually gets reported and what we all miss day in and day out. It was amazing television. Thank you for this clue-in as well, I admit I missed most of it. What the hell, man? In Baltimore, where over the last twenty years Times Mirror and the Tribune Company have combined to reduce the newsroom by forty percent, all of the above stories pretty much happened. I've enjoyed his first rate performances in two other series I've seen, and can't wait to see how his character's flirtation with D.I.

I meant To say Roger Twigg. Wouldnt she confront them first? It would have been nice but it was time to put an end to Dr. Tony Hill's sideline work so it would have benefitted from them giving us one. Its tremendously unfortunate a potentially amazing show was turned into a cute little art project. If I was forced, I think Id go with 4-2-1-3-5, with 1 and 3 tied. Liz had sent a distress call to the two medics, and they all make an attempt to flee in an ambulance. Ok, maybe I can believe that McNulty would come up with a silly story to get the wire going, maybe, but Lester? It's quite dark, with just enough wit to keep you from falling over the edge into the great abyss. Loved how one episode segues seamlessly into the next, and one season covers one full story in depth rather than typical crime dramas that present a problem and a resolution all in 43 minutes. I worked at a newspaper with a POS liar who made up quotes, and the editor was obsessed with him and looked the other way (on the fake quotes and also, grossly, sexual harassment). But it was still damn above all the other things (books, series, movies). I loved how the series showed its one big circle & for everyone person saved bubbles theres a dookie, Marlo trying to become stringer but him being more like avon, Michael becoming the new Omar & many more. If you have not watched any of these, please go for it and watch them in order. Although I understand the validity of some of the endings, I really was disappointed with season 5. Comparatively, many of the black characters who could have made gains by playing the same game, either didnt or chose not to. It is time-consuming, expensive, deliberate and demanding. THOSE cops and THOSE lawyers definitely exist in abundance in all over D.C., the southside, and Baltimore. And I thanks you for that, because you gave us a piece of truth storytelling.

His entire life he had nothing and no one then ends up back on the street with a needle in his arm. Hamsterdam, say. Six years later. You wanna say so on the producers blog, no worries. Police are rude to Dr. Tony Hill and refuse to work with him. The show and books are dark and twisted. (And yes, I got the theme. Ultimately, thank you for such an epic drama! Gus opining that there was a time when no perp walk would take place with a call first being made to the broadsheets to make sure it was covered. The setting and actors are British. The Lester wed come to know was indeed a maverick, but not a moron. Production took a huge risk deciding to change setting and characters after only 1 season. 2) As for the WORST McNultys supercop character finally jumped the shark. But why would he go around looking for Marlo, wasnt he a bit smarter than that? Ive just completed my third viewing of the entire series. All in all, you really gave us a lot to think about. This show, its impact, the things its talked about directly and indirectly (as shown above) has along with all that impacted me, and I feel like Ive got enough influence from this show alone to myself sit down and write like Ive been wanting to do, but not just any writing, but writing thats thoughtful as well as entertaining, and also writing that matters. Its all in the game yo. All Rights Reserved. Stars Robson Green Mark It was all very realistic and extremely tough to watch. After watching the awful Sorkin show The Newsroom that was so dumb and naive it was nice to see some smart and realistic drama about a newsroom. but please dont make anymore. To argue about whether Whiting is more venal or one-dimensional than Valchek? Why couldnt we have gone one more season with the show? Im sure that to many of these guys, getting Carcetti elected would do as much to inject fresh blood into the citys political processes as it would clear up the problem of those blacks corrupting the process, nevermind how ridiculous those sorts of notions hold up. With Robson Green, Elaine Claxton, Hermione Norris, Richard Frame. Herc just needed to get run over, along with Levy, and bleed out slowly suffering much in the process. No one went near the theme; everyone stayed dead-center and literal, oblivious to the big-ass elephant in our mythical newsroom. THE BEST FUCKING SERIES I EVER WATCHED! watch again the final 5-6 minutes of season 3; episode 4). I am anxious to find out if there is a follow up to Painted? In one of the best scenes of the series, Yes, that IS the truth for kids all over the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) but I really wish, David, you could have shown him some compassion as the most innocent among them really deserved some kind of redemption. This makes for some truly unusual and amusing situations, that help bring levity to the gruesome crimes he investigates. The school system has been teaching test questions to improve No Child Left Behind scores, and to protect the mayor politically and to validate a system that is failing to properly educate city children. Now youve got the full attention of the media. My husband watched this series on HBO, I must of been working. I learned more from two weeks of practical work, than an entire year of overpaid theory, and eventually switched to English, because I couldnt stand a style that, to me, was tantamount to lying. If my state of mind can be presumed by this fellow, certainly Im entitled to note his own. 6 Apr. OK so Rawls put him on a boat for while. Wire In The Blood is described as a unique character-driven procedural which exposes the gaps between good and evil, our public and private selves and the I was born with scoop mentality and its never left me. Im so glad I got to bear witness to it, even if I was late. Lasher follows Keith to a random shack in the The bodies are then found in areas I feel like an asshole now for saying some of that stuff. I hated Marlo for his ruthlessness but I respect that you gave him a realistic ending-they could not realistically build a case against him bc of police corruption. Web"Wire in the Blood" is the story of Dr.Tony Hill (Robson Green), a slightly eccentric clinical psychologist who works part time with the police force of Bradford, England. Im interested. The man in black tracked Jenna down at the right house, but he knocked on the wrong door he's tangled up in a deadly Book of Blood story that ends when Ellie With no consequences for either, even Herc the Assclown who monumentally fucked up every single case he was put on? Grim. | And the depiction of the weak-willed, money-grubbing, ring-kissing top brass at papers was spot-on, too. If season five didnt work for you, then it didnt work for you. But what can you do? the biggest feeling that I was left with was that of Newtons Third Law of Physics, the action-reaction law. My comment amounts to little more than unwanted negative feedback for a show that ended 5 years ago. Cocaine Bear is based on a true story but the events especially the ending are very different. Then you have the choir, inexplicably, warbling on as if to lend some kind of gravitas to the lacklustre proceedings. And again, great work on this terrific series; dont let the naysayers get to you on Season 5, I found it every bit as good as the previous 4. Other than Breaking Bad. Its so damn realistic. You dont like the last season of a television drama, feel free to venture an opinion. Departmental priorities make high-level drug investigation prohibitive. but I believe even his murder would have been more satisfying for viewers who were waiting for his comeuppance. From the Huffington Post, March 17, 2008 Watch with Acorn TV. The story the music the acting is just so damn beautiful. Also liked how micheal played through the all series always looking out for people around him and outsmarting snoop at the end The newsroom story arc wasnt lost on me i believe some of the characters in the newsroom just didnt grip you as much as the other areas which makes it seem the weaker part. I was focused solely on the fact that the the newspaper was in a battle over the homelessness killings issue in a sense that their biggest problem right now was sensationalism and lies versus honest reporting. He's quirky, he's a little odd, but he helps to provide a different, and intellectual insight into the killer's mind. In the end, she asks for a transfer. We don't recommend this series. The Wire will be studied in the future. FAQ Even as a child I remember sifting through the paper wondering what a presidential blowjob has to do with anything important. And now, with the economic vise that is the internet tight around her, TheSun like so many once-worthy regional newspapers is fighting for relevance and readers. To have the city editor saying such things would have been, well, arch. Another topic for another time, but dont wait on our news media to report it. Everything that happens on this show is explained, the more times that you watch it through. Web2. Africa was not at all logical to their 'can't do without you' relationship). The systemic problems of the DMV are way too deep and the people in charge are way too invested in their petty self-interests to ever have it another way. I did enjoy everything else about Season 5. I agree with the message of Season 5, just not the execution. I guess I understood it was there in some sense but initially the theme I was focused on were the institutional problems in the newsroom that are so similar to the problems in other institutions featured in the series. She is always rescued. There is a certain formula each episode follows. It was as good as I remembered and then some. And a couple of others at alternative weeklies figured it out again, perhaps, because theyre less vested than everyone at the big, vulnerable dailies. No-one looked at him twice.". Who am I to bitch about how you decided to end your own show? As Tony This is an entertaining series currently available on Acorn TV. Thats it. Outside the Wire has arrived on Netflix, and the streamers latest sci-fi military thriller ends with a bit of a bang, to say the least. Even more awesome is how you actually continued that same thread from one season to the next, taking one subject matter and examining it from all the angles that make up the context of the entire problem. While very formula driven and somewhat unbelievable at times, particularly with the characters often going it alone to catch the bad guys, it is entertaining and very "bingeworthy"! I think not. So thank you for such an absolute terrific ride. Great blog, it confirms my suspicions of the final season but wasnt enough to change my mind about it. But what is particularly interesting is, aside from McNulty, many of the white characters in the season engage in almost the same amount and level of corrupted games as their black counterparts, in some cases moreso. David, I just wanted to take a brief moment (6 years later) to thank you for both an amazing show and this write up of your thoughts and insights into S5. Thrilled at the fact that you made him irredeemable, because the reporters who do that shit truly are that way. I am glad you landed Naymond softly but Randy getting beat down again in the group home then showing up for a second in season 5 STILL in a group home- couldnt Carver have at least followed through on ONE good intention and taken him out of that system?! I wonder what were missing?. Please bring us another series. The Wire finale recap: The end of the line Two things about my Sunday were making me sick. In this format youre not going to have stark revelations, a happy and blissful montage followed by a cut to black. And okay, the city editor, the honorable fellow, the one for whom journalism was an ethos, he got slapped down and thrown to the copy desk. They are gradually won over. Its especially shameful that the media did not pick up on this. Anyway, Im straying from my point: thank you for defining this additional layer to the theme of S5. August 19, 2002. A moment for one last question: Sure there was a fabulist and, yeah, he snatched the big prize. 4. Watched the first four seasons in 07-08 and decided to save S5 so I could pretend it wasnt over finally caved this week and watched it, andTHANK YOU! WITB is a dark, gritty, British crime drama that most all will heartily enjoy.. should you like the genre.

Every single time I watch this show over again, I notice something I never saw before, and get instant gratification for going back again and re-watching it. The dramas final season, depicting a Baltimore newspaper, concluded last week. I am writing my thesis on THE WIRE This argument strucked me when Omar died and no one noticed it in The Sun No institutional memory, no quality journalism. That was thematic and no one commented on the argument, which I found disappointing. In fact, when I was delivering newspapers as a kid back in the 90s I became incredibly skeptical of the news I was delivering. Well now, its been a week since The Wire s final episode and a certain calm has descended, leaving a little less agita and a little more reflection. But most of all, that poor child Duquan who did nothing but suffer from beginning to end. The Witcher: Blood Origin 's ending serves as setup for The Witcher season 3, revealing the truth behind the Conjunction of the Spheres and another prophecy that's sure to have a profound influence on Ciri's life. I do honestly feel that way about the ending but telling you that personally (digitally, whatever) was completely asinine and unnecessary. Politically sensitive casework was butchered or pursued selectively by political interests and departmental indifference. Thank you so much for making The Wire, it ruined every other tv show. Metacritic Reviews. I mean its obvious all three of them enjoyed it way too much for a normal gangster who just wanted someone out of their way- and Marlos final shot licking the blood off his sleeve just about proves that that guy was about to go on a black Manson killing spree had the story logically continued from its stopping point. There are multiple scantily clad young women who get brutally murdered. When the big bust happen since the wire to wasnt legal I figured Marlo was going free. Maybe its honest. And it is clear that between Marlo, Snoop, and Chris, their real game was killing. This show is so brilliant, so uniquely American, such a mind-altering and contemplative rumination on the powerful pull of the system FUCK, I LOVE THE WIRE!!!!!!!!!!! You wanna say who cares, the story sucked? Also the deal they made with Marlo at the end where he would be free was just nonsensical, unless you want to believe that the DAs office is incredibly pure and moral and would never want to go to court and bust a guy they know is a major killer just because there is a little dirt in their investigation. The biggest pisser-offers for me in the series were the assclowns in the police department who clearly dont give a shit about what actually happens to actual people. [] The Wires Final Season and the Story Everyone Missed, by David Simon []. Season 5 is tremendous, you have such great payoffs for characters, building on all that came before. I just marathoned the entire series in less than 2 weeks (okay, so Im unemployed & have the time on my hands) and now I see why The Wire got so much acclaim in its day. It is for this reason that I think Season 5 is so brilliant. But having left the topic at hand to engage in ad hominem characterization, you cant very well expect anything less in return. This feeling of gritty realism was lost on me during the McNulty fake-killer arc. Seemed pretty angry to me. I must comment on the general disappointment around season 5 though: I too was bored by the whole Baltimore Sun room and cast. Amid buyout after buyout, theBaltimore Sunconceded much of its institutional memory, its beat structure, its ability to penetrate municipal institutions and report qualitatively on substantive issues in a way that explains not just the symptomatic problems of the city, but the root causes of those problems. Brilliant! There wasnt a single interesting person in that arc, except maybe the copy editor championing integrity at all costs. Thanks for the response, even if it got the best of me! The intelligent and complex story line demands focus to follow clearly, and make you think. 7.2 (359) Rate. Wed get a rant or two from whoever he screwed over, then next episode or season all is forgiven, forgotten and everyones back to good ole Jimmy again. I absolutely love The Wire so I mean no disrespect when I say this (arent prefaces like that always inevitably followed by something kinda shitty and disrespectful?) And, just like the black counterparts, almost all of them gain some level of career advancement, be it Rawls promotion to superintendent, Pearlmans to judge, Hurks ascension in the legal realm (admitably his is more honest than the others, since he wanted the same things McNulty and Freamon wanted, and he actually suffers the consequences of his mess-up in Season 4), Carcetti, Templeton, etc. Just the slow motion walk through of him seeing his operation in action, and the perfect timing of Polk (or Mahone?) In the first episode of "The Wire," Johnny is brutally beaten for passing counterfeit money to Wallace (Michael B. Jordan), and his death in Season 3 sent WowIm emotionally drained. To wonder whether anyone would be disciplined for cursing in a newsroom, or why they made the top editor wear those suspenders, or whether it was a clich to have a fabricator driving the overt plot? but what the hell happened with the last season? This is but the latest example of I was already a cynic before 9/11, then The Wire came. I just recently bought the Blu-ray box set as well, just to have it in both editions and to see the reunion at the Paley Center. 2008.
