Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is without doubt one of the best tv shows ever made. Everything about it from the characters, the dialogue, the story arcs, the pace... it's amazing. It is so realistic.

I must admit, it took me a LONG time to get it together and watch this show.I remember I started out trying to watch it but gave up after ½ - 1 ½ episodes.I guess I wasn't in the right mood at the time.This show turned out to be so good, I am afraid that I will never feel this way about another show.I just finished watching the last episode as I am writing this review so I have not had time to think everything through, but I must say that I am happy I watched this show and I understand why it gets as much credit as it does.Truly deserved.I can't praise this show enough, the actors, directors, costume designers, story editors, EVERYONE involved in making this show what it is, deserve credit.This show truly shows how the world works on different levels, how everything is connected, but you never see the full picture. Well here you get to sit back and get the full picture presented to you.I will most definitely watch this show again at some point, which is a big compliment from me.

I have seen over 100 TV series and this is still the closest to my heart. I would say still the best TV series I have seen till date. Hats off to all the people who contributed to making such an awesome TV series.

If you haven't seen the wire yet you are in for a treat. One of the best TV shows ever made.
