Review title: The Greatest Television Drama Ever Marred by Poor Packaging
Product review: Bear in mind, this review may only apply to the 2008 version of this box set. A new version (seen here: [...]) has been released but I cannot speak to its packaging quality.As many have already noted, the packaging for this box set is rather poor and can result DVDs being shuffled and scratched during shipping. Of the 23 discs included, one of them was scratched deeply enough to affect playback for one episode. Thankfully, placing the DVD in my computer's DVD drive (presumably, a more competent and sophisticated drive than my PS2) alleviated the macro-blocking and freezing.But with that said, The Wire is the greatest television drama I have ever seen. The character development, pacing and the depth to which it explores difficult themes are remarkable. I cannot recommend this show highly enough. After the first 4 or 5 episodes of Season 1, you will be hooked (not unlike many of the wretched junkies flooding the streets of Baltimore).
