Sibyl's TV Reviews

I got hooked on The Wire by watching season 1 and 2 on DVD. I was so into it I could barely go to work, all I wanted to do was race home and see what was going to happen next on the rough streets of Baltimore.
This show tackles massive issues: crime, the drug trade, politics, police corruption and now this season the education system with an unflinching eye.
The cast of mostly unkowns and a lot of Baltimore locals is uniformly excellent.
The writiing is so poetic that I'll often rewind a scene just to take in the different layers of meaning by re-watching.

Get the DVDs and start catching up!!
