The Wire (Serial)

Season 4

I have now settled into excellence. Love this season, with the Barksdale crew basically wrapped up, time to introduce new stories. The focus this season is on the school system, but this does not take over the season like the dock's did in season 2. Instead, it is a unifying theme that continues to come back into the storyline, holding everything together. We also have a new player in the drug game (Marlo Stanfield) and his muscle, Chris and Snoop, are an astounding addition. We also have some unique policing strategies (e.g. the creation of Hampersdam) that raise the ire of the bosses. The series continues to push and inform and entertain.
5 stars (out of 5)
