The preview at Netflix didn't look all that appealing to me, but you're certainly right about the critics giving it rave reviews. I've added Season 1 Disc 1 to my Netflix queue to try it out. Joshua Chris,

The best television series I've seen so far. Many critics agree: http://www.metacritic.com/tv/shows/wireseason4 I liked it because the writers do a very good job about making you care about all of the characters. The characters behave plausibly, given the incentives they face within the story. They handle details very well -- you actually believe you're watching real police officers, drug dealers, etc. Things get lost, equipment breaks, the characters have money problems. Sometimes characters behave heroically, sometimes their flaws get the best of them. Excellent. The best television series I’ve seen so far. Many critics agree:

That movie stars several of my favorite actors (Sam Elliott, Joan Allen, J.K. Simmons) and I had never heard of it before. BTW, have you watched the HBO series The Wire? Thanks for the pointer!
