 (imdb rating: 9.7/10)
This is one of the best movies of the 2008
Plot: The fifth season of the television series The Wire commenced airing in the United States on January 6, 2008, and concluded on March 9, 2008; it contained 10 episodes. It introduces Baltimore's media while continuing to examine the Baltimore police department, the Stanfield organization and city hall while introducing the scene and new characters from a fictionalized version of the Baltimore Sun newsroom.
The 5th and final season of The Wire delivered the show's promise even at an abridged 10 episodes (instead of 13). This season focused on the newspaper, an ailing media that pushes an ambitious reporter to "embellish" his writing. The whole "red ribbon killer" was really conflicting to me, it was such a stretch, even for McNulty. In the end though, the writers, the actors all gave their best and it's nice to see this nicely tied up for the season as a whole but also for the series Cheers for one of my top tv shows of all time (I put it up there with The Sopranos and The West Wing) Links - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_Season_5 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_(TV_series)4 Last Updated 7/11/2008 11:29:18 AM 10hr 30min / Directed by Joe Chappelle / Starring Dominic West, Clarke Peters, Lance Reddick, Wendell Pierce / Language: English | ||||
