Summary: Top 2 Finest Season, Finest Hour of the BEST TV Show EVER
Comment: This is the season I started watching - and got hooked on - The Wire. I was a little uneasy about the cussing at first, but the characters drew me in - the stories with the drug dealers, the politicians, the cops, everything!
The season picks up and refocuses back on the Barksdale Organization so our Season 1 favorite gangsters are back - and our Season 1 - 2 favorite cops are back. This season also adds a new element - the politicians. While the cops like McNulty, Freemon, Greggs, et al go after Stringer (Idris!), Avon, et al, new characters are introduced with a NEW GAME to follow: Mayor Royce, Councilman Carcetti, and their game with Police Commissioner Burrell et al. A new youngblood Marlo is also introduced to add some good ole' gangsta warfare.
This season has it all. The same social-political themes, the academic and cinematographic nuiances - all string the story lines along. But now, you got the good ole cops and gangsta games, gangsta wars, and political wars. There is so much action between the underhanded political games to the blazin action on the streets.
If you have not seen The Wire, this is THE season to start - you will love it and fall in love with it. You can enjoy it on all levels: as a good political drama, a good cops-gangsta drama, and a just plain good story-telling about some GREAT characters. Don't miss this season.

Summary: - 1 for the epilogue
Comment: This is a great show, right up there with Sopranos. This season is tremendous, but I felt the epilogue was overly pedantic. Irritating, and frustrating that such a great season could have this fortune-cookie-philosophy segment tacked on the tail end. Not enough to deter me from watching season four, though!
(spoiler below)
Oh, and Rawls shows up at a GAY BAR!? That single, hillarious, surprise half second, never brought up again in this season OR the next, was worth the price of admission alone. !!!!

Summary: The Wire - The Complete Third Season
Comment: The Wire - The Complete Third Season continues the excellence presented in the first two seasons.
The writing, acting, directing, etc. are all extreemly professional. At times, I felt I was spying on real people in real situations. I would reccommend this series to anyone who enjoys serious drama.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Damn Fine TV show.
Comment: What can I say that hasn't already been said? This was awesome. I still hit myself when I think that I never watched this show once while it was running on HBO. Stupid, stupid, stupid. If you've made the same mistake I did, you should immediately buy them and watch them.
