ps But if we give upthen what? Amid buyout after buyout, theBaltimore Sunconceded much of its institutional memory, its beat structure, its ability to penetrate municipal institutions and report qualitatively on substantive issues in a way that explains not just the symptomatic problems of the city, but the root causes of those problems. I wonder whats happening in this city that we dont know about. Jumped that shark in high-topped Nikes, we did. It was especially poignant seeing all the since-deceased (or reformed, theres no way I could overlook or forget Dukie becoming Bubbles) characters roles being filled by the New Age.. That was a bit beyond the historical reality; at the historicalBaltimore Sun, he was a mere Pulitzer finalist. What's going on in Val McDermott's head. Fantastic series & Ill tell anyone thats its the best series Ive ever seen. I am a detective investigator and I am very critical with "who done it" crime solving type movies. And then Season 5 happens. And, just like the black counterparts, almost all of them gain some level of career advancement, be it Rawls promotion to superintendent, Pearlmans to judge, Hurks ascension in the legal realm (admitably his is more honest than the others, since he wanted the same things McNulty and Freamon wanted, and he actually suffers the consequences of his mess-up in Season 4), Carcetti, Templeton, etc. Thanks for the reply. The Wire finale recap: The end of the line Two things about my Sunday were making me sick. To debate whether Gus Haynes is more of a hero than Bunny Colvin? I think the biggest problem with Season 5 is that the Sun people were kind of boring and so many of them were one note. Wire in the Blood vol 2 Sharp Compassion. In particular, I admired how each character was so fully realized within their part of the story arc. As they series progresses, the style of editing and camera work alters. (Think "Cracker" meets "Inspector Morse" meets "CSI").There is a bookish, academic quality to Doctor Hill, without him being tweedy and standoffish (he's more human, and less lofty than Morse). Robson Green is incredibly impressive (and maybe a little bit scary) as eccentric psychological profiler Dr. Tony Hill, and Hermione Morris does a great job as tough DI Carol Jordan, a woman in what is still very much a man's world. The amount of quotables in this show is amazing. Reprinted with Permission. This show mattered and it still does. Youre fuckin awesome. The crime thriller was being eyed for adaptation by I found this series especially delightful because Robson Green's character lives within the confines of his own mind. Maybe an education magazine writes a column on inncr-city curricula, or a libertarian website revisits the idea of drug decriminalization. The case was based on a wealth of curruption and illegal detective work and the need for self-preservation could easily allow for a deal to be made. Now its so hard to even rank the seasons because they are all so important to the overall story. Peace, yo. (And yes, I got the theme. Focused on a fake serial killer, they missed rampant corruption in the city government, missed obvious lying and stat juking in the police department, missed the penetration of thelaw courts by shady lawyers etc. With Robson Green, Elaine Claxton, Hermione Norris, Richard Frame. Notable killings and machinations in the drug world were the talk of the streets. What Rough Beast. The Jordan/Fielding character played a large part. Rawls and Valchek were just as bad- and the reason they all irked me so much is because its way closer to the truth than people want to admit. 1 Jun 2015. . I know you were trying to show the 5 different aspects of what goes down in a city David Simon but one more season that just wraps everything up in a nice little bow would have been perfect. It ran for six seasons and I believe had some specials along the way. Great. I was already a cynic before 9/11, then The Wire came. I also loved Generation Kill. David-I just finished the entire series in about a week. Has the city cleaned up. 1) The newsroom angle was a good idea but perhaps the show writers were a bit too close to it. I just re-watched the entire series, and its amazing how well it still holds up. | Some shameful shit right there. I had only heard of it but didnt know it was the drug I needed in my life to actively engage in social discussions the way you do so well in this series. Season 5 was great. Otherwise this character seemed to constantly walk between the raindrops rarely suffering real consequences for his selfishness. but what the hell happened with the last season? I'm a big fan of good,clever mystery. You wanna explain where the argument is inconsistent? Then when people point out the garbage it becomes oh-so esoteric. So fuck what I said. It features a crime-weary psychotherapist who is part profiler, part detective, part forensics expert. If you didnt dig it, then you didnt dig it. Particularly toward the finale, you created a meta-mirror for us that Im still working out. We don't recommend this series. But wait Marlo had to head back to those corners to be himselfthe individual. Dont even know where to start, and I dont think I can critique anything about this show because it critiques itself. "Wire in the Blood" is the story of Dr.Tony Hill (Robson Green), a slightly eccentric clinical psychologist who works part time with the police force of Bradford, England. Well, okay. I love the Hamsterdam plot. Thanks for a great series and compelling stories and characters, in what was often a pretty bleak scene. The Drug Game, The Cops, The Port, City Hall, The Schools and The Newspaper. Because the thing I cant leave alone, the thing that makes me giddy as a schoolgirl is this: Whatever else I am a traitorous apostate to newsprint, the angriest hack in television, a kicker of small dogs you must acknowledge that I am now, also, the newly crowded King of Meta. Everyone who complanes about season 5 is just mourning. A few months ago I decided to give it a go and, as you can imagine, I fell in love. Sometimes the jumps in logic can seem a bit far fetched, but that is what makes it interesting and fun, without having to be a series of mindless chase scenes and explosions. While she tries her best to support her parents, Puleng also hates how theyre not willing to give up on the past. But absent that kind of reporting, we will all soon enough live in cities and towns where politicians and bureaucrats gambol freely without worry, where it is never a risk to shine shit and call it gold. This feeling of gritty realism was lost on me during the McNulty fake-killer arc. Thats why Im here. Wouldnt she confront them first? A few funny lines, too. See if you can purse your lips any tighter or hold your nose any higher. I understand the story and the tie-ins that you wrote about in this very blog, but I feel like you could have highlighted the bullshit of the media without compromising the core of The Wire, unrelenting, brutal, realism. My husband watched this series on HBO, I must of been working. Once I learned that wrestling was faked I began to wonder what else on TV, or in print, was fabricated or enhanced. Then the Lewinsky story broke and dominated, and I lost even more faith. Im an asshole. I did enjoy everything else about Season 5. I feel like an asshole now for saying some of that stuff. There wasnt a single interesting person in that arc, except maybe the copy editor championing integrity at all costs. Some of the most compelling Ive seen. Starring: Robson Green, Simone Lahbib. To the people saying he was stupid for returning to Baltimore in the first place: Marlo used the perfect bait. I just binge-watched the last 3 seasons after slowly going through 1 & 2 and I feel regret that I almost missed out on this amazing thing that started basically a decade ago when I was just starting high school. Maybe its honest. Really? I know this criticism in no way helps, the show is long done with, but I loved everything about the 5th season except for the newspaper guys. Norris brought an adult, feminine, vulnerability to her role as Carol Jordan. Wish there was more, or at least a book. After watching the awful Sorkin show The Newsroom that was so dumb and naive it was nice to see some smart and realistic drama about a newsroom. As Tony There's also a lot of blurry camera work that is meant to show the violent murders but does tend to make one rather seasick! The political corruption, the cronyism, the back-asswards views on racism which prevent all minorities from getting a real say in anything lest they be deemed racist- and most agonizingly, the completely screwball insanity that is the PG County school system is exactly like the way you depicted life in Baltimore. 2) As for the WORST McNultys supercop character finally jumped the shark. Even though I dont like those gay fags fuckin each other but thats the world we live in so no problems. It was fuckin awesome. The editing becomes more choppy, inserting 1-2 second scenes in the middle of something else. This season has opened up my eyes to an important point: what exactly are we missing by focusing on all this sensationalist garbage? For me, the series is not about the individual seasons. I see commentary all the time where the seasons are ranked and there seems to be a common thread. In Baltimore, where over the last twenty years Times Mirror and the Tribune Company have combined to reduce the newsroom by forty percent, all of the above stories pretty much happened. McNulty, Frank Sobotka, Carcetti (at least in season 3), Colvin and Prez). In the end, she asks for a transfer. Drug wars, territorial disputes, and the assassination of the citys largest drug importer manage to produce a brief inside the metro section that refers only to the slaying of a second-hand appliance store owner. The setting and actors are British. Loved how one episode segues seamlessly into the next, and one season covers one full story in depth rather than typical crime dramas that present a problem and a resolution all in 43 minutes. Thanks for the response, even if it got the best of me! I dunno. We sucked. It would be hard for a committed education reporter to acquire the curriculum of a city middle school and compare it to what children were taught before No Child Left Behind reduced teaching to rote repetition, or to track a rise in the third-grade test scores into the fifth or seventh grade and thereby demonstrate how temporal and false the gains actually were. This is but the latest example of Metacritic Reviews. TheSunbegan doing so in the 1990s before the internet, before the Tribune Company did its worst when beat reporting and any serious, systemic examination of issues was eschewed in favor of impact journalism, special projects and Pulitzer sniffing. Either of the two excellent actors would have been able to perform equally well for the entire six season run, and many viewers believe that's the way it should have been (Green is tops in all episodes). Each episode is someone chained up. Now I just read and laugh at bad writing on other TV shows. Grim. Even if you're not a Robson Green fan, this will surely garner him new followers. Each season building toward a singular, connected argument. The chemistry between Hill and D.I. Im vaguely reminded of the backlash we (I) felt when Seinfeld came to an end, having been blinded to what we were ignoring for so long that the hyper-reality we were caught up in seemed like the be-all, end-all. But life isnt like that. It would not have been easy for a veteran police reporter to pull all the police reports in the Southwestern District and find out just how robberies fell so dramatically, to track each individual report through staff review and find out how many were unfounded and for what reason, or to develop a stationhouse source who could tell you about how many reports went unwritten on the majors orders, or even further to talk to people in that district who tried to report armed robberies and instead found themselves threatened with warrant checks or accused of drug involvement or otherwise intimidated into dropping the matter. I meant To say Roger Twigg. Over a television drama. The school system is closest to my heart because I grew up in that sad, irreparable school system and the stories of those kids were the ones I really hoped would resolve better so you knew that in the end, at least SOMEONE in that hood got a real chance. I found Wire in the Blood purely by accident and I am now a die-hard fan. In The Hunger Games films, President Snow (Donald Sutherland) coughs up blood for a specific reason. The newsroom story arc wasnt lost on me i believe some of the characters in the newsroom just didnt grip you as much as the other areas which makes it seem the weaker part. I am writing my thesis on THE WIRE This argument strucked me when Omar died and no one noticed it in The Sun No institutional memory, no quality journalism. To me, The Wire was told as an epic novel. Incredible. I was watching for the Barksdale arc and didnt know how important season two was in the overall visual novel. My favorite character was bubs, I knew someone like him. I was wondering, What does it take to become an officer of It wasnt until maybe the 3rd time that I understood these theme about the newsroom. A good newspaper covers its city and acquires not just the quantitative account of a days events, but the qualitative truth and meaning behind those events. If season five didnt work for you, then it didnt work for you. If I had to wager a guess, something I noticed was that, in the first four seasons, there was always at least one or two characters who were, either struggling or chafing against the numerous failings in the institutions that were highlighted in each season, (I.e. A great newspaper does this routinely on a multitude of issues, across its entire region. I watched all five series back to back in less than a month bit of an overdose I guess, but just couldnt stop. The show and books are dark and twisted. Who am I to bitch about how you decided to end your own show? Im sure that to many of these guys, getting Carcetti elected would do as much to inject fresh blood into the citys political processes as it would clear up the problem of those blacks corrupting the process, nevermind how ridiculous those sorts of notions hold up. During the political campaign in Season 3, when Royce was facing pressure from Carcetti, there is a subtle glimpse into the racial component. Im out. I think it was something like a 14% reduction in crimes such as shootings and aggravated assault. One last thing though .Duquan. Note: this show is designated TV-MA, because of some intense or violent scenes. Im actually rigorous about letting criticism of the show stand without arguing back. He has a reputation of taking small seemingly unconnected facts puzzling them together and providing a profile for the police to follow. At least the stakes matter. Thats it. And why would carcetti suddenly give them all the money? And now, with the economic vise that is the internet tight around her, TheSun like so many once-worthy regional newspapers is fighting for relevance and readers. Throughout 1923, Alexandras wealth has come into play (or the wealth of her family, rather). You let Bubbles live. I worked at a small, local tabloid, before entering J-school, and rapidly became frustrated as I was lectured on hooks and handles. I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH MORE SEASONS!! Then you have the choir, inexplicably, warbling on as if to lend some kind of gravitas to the lacklustre proceedings. He has a Summary: Tony is put under police protection when the area mental health commissioner is brutally murdered. Why would he care about the homeless? Given the corruption in the Baltimore you portrayed, it isnt hard to imagine an offender being released for even more serious charges. I was reading The Stand at the time I posted that response. Could this be a solution to the decline of established local titles like the Sun? Write a television story arc about the betrayal of the working class, the fraud of the drug war or the lie of No Child Left Behind and you cant get off the entertainment pages. The plan immediately backfires as Adam is zapped through the chains and he awakens. Im nitpicking though I loved seeing the little references to old characters even sourvino being in the final series Top series. Im literally addicted to this show, and watch it through at least 3-4 times a year. I been expressing to folk since 2002 Web2. No need to worry about any season of this amazing show. I know that is a meta-narrative that some people find credible, but I could as easily and as credibly argue that the meta-narrative itself stems from newspaper critics who were too close and too sensitive to the overall critique. Love your comment. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. you could give me! The writing, the directing, the acting, the story arcs: are all amazing. The first was Joshua Ferris novel Then We Came to the End, Not so much as an offhand reference, and that goes not just for the journalists displeased enough with our newspaper tale, but for the larger number of commentators and critics who thought we did swell. This show is so brilliant, so uniquely American, such a mind-altering and contemplative rumination on the powerful pull of the system FUCK, I LOVE THE WIRE!!!!!!!!!!! The Wire is my favorite show of all time, but Season 5 was definitely the weakest. I loved how the series showed its one big circle & for everyone person saved bubbles theres a dookie, Marlo trying to become stringer but him being more like avon, Michael becoming the new Omar & many more. You wanna say so on the producers blog, no worries. This statement is meant to include: Mark Letheren(DI Kevin Jeffries); Emma Handy (DC Paula McIntyre) and Peter Sullivan (ACC Paul Eden). His rogue decision to stage serial killings was believable but Bunks toothless response and using Lester and his involvement to give credence to Jimmys scheme went beyond the pale. Have just finished re-watching the whole series. I just finished watching the entire run of the series a couple of nights ago. Wire in the Blood is one of the most important and valuable series ever produced for television. He displays tremendous potential; one can hope that he will continue to create performances that are filled with the humanity, compassion and insight that "Tony Hill" shows us. But there used to be more of them. Sorry. A mayor was elected governor while his police commanders made aggravated assaults and robberies disappear. What to say, what to say, what to say? It is a heart trending, visceral, honest portrayal of a modern city. I mean its obvious all three of them enjoyed it way too much for a normal gangster who just wanted someone out of their way- and Marlos final shot licking the blood off his sleeve just about proves that that guy was about to go on a black Manson killing spree had the story logically continued from its stopping point. That being said, I think what was really being pointed out here, is that the sorts who were under the feeling that the blacks were ruining the city, more or less knew quite well that such levels of corruption in the legal bodies was not limited by race, as Season 5 shows, and that just like w/ many of the black characters, many of the white characters benefit professionally for their lies, cover-ups and stat-jukings. If you like Touching Evil or Monk, this series may be for you. If your a fan of the genre and have not yet discovered Dr.Tony Hill I recommend that you do. All the characters have distinct and believable personalities. I always thought the crime reduction % that Colvin reports as a result of his Hamsterdam experiment were too low. But all the endings mean something and other endings would have been the wrong ones. Wire In The Blood is described as a unique character-driven procedural which exposes the gaps between good and evil, our public and private selves and the watch again the final 5-6 minutes of season 3; episode 4). Lowry got it, and tellingly, he used to work for theL.A. Timesbut is now a step or two removed from a metropolitan daily, writing forVariety. Not as cavalier as his "Touching Evil" series; his "Wire in the Blood" character of Tony Hill is much more reserved, quirky, and, being a criminal profiler, is more internalized with his processing of information. The intelligent and complex story line demands focus to follow clearly, and make you think. I found the season 2 a bit less interesting the first time, but I really dont know why, maybe because I was focused on characters like Avon etc, and the guys on the docks were less cool at first sight. The Wire will be studied in the future. And Kima, would she really be snitching on them? And remember the part where you saw the lady outside selling snowballs, the postal carrier was able to deliver mail, people were outside hanging laundry so you could tell that the 14% drop was substantial in that district. I just graduated and Just the slow motion walk through of him seeing his operation in action, and the perfect timing of Polk (or Mahone?) In response to a few specific complaints Ive come across rather frequently in regards to the season: How is it remotely plausible that Marlo walked free? Comparatively, many of the black characters who could have made gains by playing the same game, either didnt or chose not to. I just watched all 5 seasons over the past couple weeks and it was a pleasure. Damn, I think I might just sit down and watch the whole thing again to see what else Ive missed. Criminal Psychologist Tony Hill assists The Police with all manner of complex and disturbing crimes. Every episode is gripping. ITV has axed Robson Green drama Wire in the Blood after six years in what is seen as the latest cost cutting move by the network. Can you give any specific insight into why Marlo was let to walk away unscathed. It was too subtle for me to catch on my first watch, and Im sure a 10 hour binge made it even easier to gloss over. But most of all, that poor child Duquan who did nothing but suffer from beginning to end. Another topic for another time, but dont wait on our news media to report it. There were still good journalists in our make-believe newsroom, and they did some good work just as there are still such souls in Baltimore and every city laboring in similar fashion and to similar result. The acting is excellent, but I find this show way too unsubtle, lurid, and melodramatic. I've been in love with Robson Green for years, and he's in top form here in "Wire in the Blood," a British TV series based on characters created by crime writer Val McDermid. Thanks for this. For now I will just pass. Still, all that being said, it was a hell of a ride and still the best damn tv series ever made. He's quirky, he's a little odd, but he helps to provide a different, and intellectual insight into the killer's mind. Im watching Treme now. You had the ambitious lying dick with no redeemable qualities, the very honorable and honest veteran, some young black guy who covered Bubbles, the villainous senior editors, and a girl who was a good reporter. You want to suggest that the creator of the project has his nose in the air for being interested in the matter at all, and that you have some insight into his temperament? Africa was not at all logical to their 'can't do without you' relationship). We do what we do and people are free to react as they will. I just watched all 5 seasons in short order. I just want to watch it over and over again without stopping. Thank you for such an amazing show. -- if you're a Robson Green fan, it's a fantastic showcase for his acting. Producer Chris Miller explains why. Crown me up and kneel, ya bitches. There was just increasingly natural interplay between them that made viewing more diverse and interesting (e.g. It was as good as I remembered and then some. The first two, "Singing" and "Shadows" are adaptations of author Val McDermid's books; This is a taut British crime drama very much in the "Cracker" mould. Jack and Liz. Thats right. It was edgy and gritty, with strong performances from everyone. Ohhh, and the commissioner and Senator Davis, you might as well have been talking about our infamous Marion Barry and his cronies all over the place. We certainly expected more attention from the media. Endless repetitions of the words "of course" are truly the hallmarks of a second rate detective production. While he is cold and calculating, from the moment we met him Omar has a big heart and made decisions based on his emotional reaction. When there is an ensemble cast and crew that work their hardest to put out the best product possible, it makes viewing a very satisfying activity. Well now, its been a week sinceThe Wires final episode and a certain calm has descended, leaving a little less agita and a little more reflection. A moment for one last question: Such a newspaper was not chronicled onThe Wire. True, the top editor had to get up on a desk amid the deluge of the internet and the declines in circulation and advertising. So they went from 20 to 17. Okay, I dont actually agree, but neither would I argue. The biggest pisser-offers for me in the series were the assclowns in the police department who clearly dont give a shit about what actually happens to actual people. Well now, its been a week since The Wire s final episode and a certain calm has descended, leaving a little less agita and a little more reflection. So lets happily concede that all criticism stands and get to the real fun. In this sense, life-imitates-art just as art-imitates-life. Plot Summary. Even as a child I remember sifting through the paper wondering what a presidential blowjob has to do with anything important. Marlo gets away clean and he keeps his money, Avon lives happily ever after in prison, McNulty gets screwed, the lying reporter wins a damn Pulitzer, and oh yeah, OMAR GETS KILLED BY A LITTLE KID?! Image via NBC. Herc just needed to get run over, along with Levy, and bleed out slowly suffering much in the process. I confess I thought that journalism was still self-aware enough to get it, that enough collective consciousness of the crafts highest calling remained, that reporters still worried about what their newspapers were missing. I can dream sometimes, right? Well now, its been a week sinceThe Wires final episode and a certain calm has descended, leaving a little less agita and a little more reflection. It would be better if he was slick like the Will Grayham character in red dragon. The Hunger Games is a four-part film series that is based on the hit trilogy of Season 5 in a nut shell is explained in the opening scene by bunk, the bigger the lie, the more they believe He mixes in just enough idiosyncrasies to make Hill human, endearing and sometimes down right aggravating. What he suddenly turns stupid? I feel better about missing the plot about The Baltimore Sun newspaper missing important stories, now I know that the pros missed it too.
