Re-examined after all these years and The Wire remains exceptional. The first few minutes I feared that it would all feel a bit dated, but I was soon fully into it again. Instinctively, The Wire together with The Sopranos and Mad Men form the absolute top layer in series land for me, although it is sometimes difficult to compare if you saw something 15 years ago. However, after re-watching this first season, I am certain: The Wire is a series of the highest caliber. 5 big stars for this icon of television history.

The series takes its time and slowly builds up characters, plot and tension, but once up and running it's fun. What great characters and what great dialogue. The 4:3 image format now looks hopelessly dated, but apart from that, it has barely lost any of its power. Slowly but surely a grand story is forming, which is gaining in strength like a snowball. Curious to see how the series will develop.
