With a new
focus on the media system we get to the end of the story.
This is the
last season of the show and it’s kinda difficult to review it. I don’t know if
it’s the best TV ever but certainly I never saw a show with better writing.
This last
season manages to keep the extremely high quality established in the rest of
the series while driving all the main plot lines to conclusion. It’s very good
stuff under any conceivable point of view.
As a whole
this serial managed to tell a bunch of very interesting stories while at the
same time it painted what is the more comprehensive and realistic portrait of a
city. Maybe is a bit depressing considering how virtually every character get
morally compromised one way or another but it never indulges too much in it.
The closures
are all rightly handled and for the first time I’m left with the impression of
having just watched a 60 part movie, there is no filling, no throwaway stuff,
everything flows nicely from the beginning till the very end. Sadly this is
what denied “The wire” the success it deserved, as wonderful as this serial is
when played on the PS3 it’s not advisable to watch it on TV, maybe after having
missed a couple of episodes, the plot is so thick and complex that it can
easily overwhelm.
One advice,
watch it, now.
