Farewell to "The Wire"

I just got back from my trip to east Asia — in time to catch the series finale of HBO's "The Wire." It did not disappoint.

I'd say that "The Wire" is one of the top five or six series I've ever watched on television. It's set in the Baltimore of 2002-2008 and deals with the interplay of its police force and the drug community. The writing is outstanding, and the characters are intriguing. I especially liked seasons three and four.

My recommendation: rent the DVDs. I give it a big thumbs up! You will not be disappointed.

Good luck to you, David Simon.

The most beautiful scene I have seen. In Turkey it is similar. Ocean has not disappeared and fishing boats still exist.
I thank the fish for still being there, People and fish cannot get extinct no matter what!
