The Wire (2002–2008)
9/10
The Best t.v. has to offer!!
3 June 2008
Just got done watching all the seasons over several months and have to say I don't think in my 30 something yrs. of life I can say I have seen better television!! This show has tremendous hype by fans and critics and it does not disappoint. Not sure if it is realistic as I don't live in the hood, but can say it tackles SO MANY issues regarding violence and drug use from the crack heads who use, the sellers who treat it like a business, the police whose job it is to shut it down and everyone else around who is affected.

The show takes a serious and no hold look at the great and the bad among all the characters. Some of the time u end up detesting the police and politicians and end up feeling bad for the low level criminals.

If u like crime drama or just like good storytelling u gotta check this out. My only rec. is give it an honest shot (4-5 episodes) before judging. Trust me it will hook u!! Also, don't worry about trying to remember every character and detail that his not what the show is about.

Best compliment I can give for this show is it is like a work of art. U watch it and u may not understand the full meaning, but u appreciate the talent that went into making it.

Job well done!!

Third Watch (1999–2005)
9/10
Got watch it!!
10 March 2008
If ur reading these comments like I did before watching the show pay attention... WATCH IT!!! My friend has the shows on tape and I am finishing the entire show over the last several months and I gotta say it an incredible show. My feelings are the only way u make that many episodes (120+) is with high quality writing and characters u really end up caring about. I dare anyone to watch this show and not fall in love with Bosco played by Jason Wiles. Loved Faith, his partner, and Cruz who plays a great renegade character who u can't decide if u respect or hate with each episode!! I personally LOVE shows with story arcs and underlying story lines that last half a season to multiple seasons.

If u love great characters, interesting plot lines, and just plain good drama u'll check this show out!! Like I always said about another of my favorites "Homicide" the worst of the episodes is better then 80% of whats on t.v. currently!!
