But realism makes for unsatisfying stories, at least in this case.<br /><br />Still, it's embarrassingly well-done and if I prefer the story of seasons 1-3, it doesn't mean season 4 is bad, just a different kind of art.Mark Andrew Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067839551819472664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-44713493681947222682015-12-14T07:50:13.294+00:002015-12-14T07:50:13.294+00:00The moment when Landsman breaks his own code of in...The moment when Landsman breaks his own code of indifference and cynicism to give a moment of compassion to Bubbles is stunning. And I will never get over the tragedy of Dukie (although that doesn't play out fully until S5).<br /><br />Having said that, and agreeing that The Wire is probably the best tv I've seen and this season is a masterpiece, the story still gives women short shrift on the whole (this season is maybe best for women because it deals with the school system). It is a shame but one that is typical of how big stories are told in our culture.Kate Elliotthttp://www.kateelliott.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-51479246807505262872015-12-13T18:31:46.666+00:002015-12-13T18:31:46.666+00:00My work here is done!My work here is done!Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-16394199920745042672015-12-13T17:15:14.934+00:002015-12-13T17:15:14.934+00:00I'm usually the kind of person who watches his...I'm usually the kind of person who watches his tv series and never re-watches, no matter how good the series or movie. I think I'm going to break this unwritten "rule" for the first time. From time to time, I remember many scenes from this series, specially this 4th season. Your review made me decide to rewatch The Wire. :)<br /><br />Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092095956981708690noreply@blogger.com
