The Wire - Complete Season 1-5 [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

I'm happy with the quality of my purchase. At first they wouldn't play in my 4k bluray player, after doing some troubleshooting I realized my old hdmi cords was the problem. I purchased some new fusion 4k 2.1 hdr 48 bandwidth higher quality hdmi cords & that solved my problem. Now I'm enjoying all the seasons of the legendary series the wire. My only gripe is all the disc it comes with & getting up to change the disc out but when the wifi fails I have all the seasons of the wire to watch.

As you likely already know, this is considered to be one of the greatest television shows of all time by many... I belong to that group. The series was lightning in a bottle, encapsulating street life in the drug and murder filled streets of Baltimore, in a way not seen before. Though dated in some regards (in 2024),I plan to continue to rewatch this series, start-to-finish, a few times a year... And in other news, large multi-disc series' packaging continues to be a tremendous pain in the buttocks.

This is the best movie I have seen portraying life in the inner city. However, the people who I have spoken to that lived in Baltimore said this movie actually portrayed life as it was there. Excellent movie, harsh language, vivid sex scenes, not for minors and probably some adults can't handle it or understand the language. In other words, some may need a translator to understand language and life in the ghetto.

I had heard a lot about this series but never really watched any of it until I got this set. Wow. The acting, writing, directing, the whole series is top notch. Highly recommend and you'll probably get hooked to watch the entire series once you start.

One of the top five TV series ever made.

Finally got the show on Blu-Ray. I am not sure if it will upscale as the show was made before HD was a thing. But the show itself, in my opinion is the best written show in the history of TV. If you haven't seen it you are missing out.

I hear the show is great but if you order from the US: BE WARNED THIS ITEM CAN NOT BE IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES

All in All very well written, suspenseful and well acted. To me, not as great as everyone preaches, but over all very good. The first two seasons are some of the best seasons ever made for TV. Seasons 3-4 changed main characters a bit and was a little too "urban" for me. I began to lose interest with season 4, but season 5 rebounded a bit and drew me back in, although I haven't finished it due to my over all decreased interest in the show. Too bad there were only 5 seasons. If there was one more season like season 2 instead of season 4, it may have been the greatest series ever made. Even the Sopranos had some "down" episodes, but IMO The Sopranos is worth owning and still the king. I hate to devalue my ownership of this boxset and the sopranos boxset by giving away this dirty little secret, but I would recommend spending your money on a one year Amazon Prime membership (which I already had) and signing up for the free month of HBO digital subscription now offered and watching the Wire and the Sopranos through them for free.

...and a box set of The Wire. I'm sure I can't say anything about this series that hasn't been said already ... it's a must watch.

Excelente pack de la mejor serie de la historia. Es la edición inglesa UK, pero está en español entre otros. -audio: ingles, francés, alemán, español españa, español latino, y otros (danés y finlandés creo) -subtitulos, ingles, francés, alemán, español españa, español latino (aunque son los mismos) y otros, La forma ideal de ver ésta estupenda series es con audio original inglés y subtitulos en español. Aunque para los que le cueste más, pues que se pongan el audio en español. Confirmado, versión inglesa UK pero con audio y subtítulos en español españa. La calidad de video y audio es excelente, se nota la remasterización. El pack contiene 5 estuches individuales con cada una de las temporadas, y dentro de cada estuche los 4 discos con todos los episodios. El listado de episodios está escrito (en inglés) en la parte interna de la caratula de cada estuche. Recomendado al 100%, es exactamente igual que la versión española (salvo por la cajita cuyo texto y sinopsis de la serie está en ingles, detalle irrelevante), pero es que su precio es la mitad que la versión española. Así que ni lo dudes.

No one can argue that The Wire is one of the best TV Series to ever air. Why not give this 20 disc set a much nicer case even as the existing all paper one is functional and may be appealing to those trying to avoid plastic. I compare this to a recent purchase of the TV Series Banshee, another great show, which has each of the four seasons in its own plastic case!! OK, so the world is full of plastic but mine will stay on the shelf and not go into the environment.

Aunque ya tenga casi 20 años, la serie se sostiene por sí sola gracias a la dirección y guión, al igual que sus actuaciones. Recomendable, pero no verla en una sentada. Disfrutarla

The best series ever!
