Deadwood: The Complete Series
$179.97
Deadwood is Great Adult entertainment, I was sad to see it only lasted 3 seasons.

The Wire - The Complete Fifth Season
$59.99
I am definately a HUGE fan of The Wire. Like seasons 1 - 4, season 5 did not dissapoint. Upset that its over but i'm glad that I watched. Truly is the best Cop Drama i have ever seen.

The Wire - The Complete Second Season
$59.98
I'm not kidding, I'm 51 years old and apart from season 1 (and possibly 3) this is the best TV I've ever seen. Visually, where its shot on the waterfront, its even better than 1. Least good version of Down In The Hole though, yeah I know he wrote it, but Tom Waitts just tries too hard...tru dat

The Wire - The Complete Third Season
$59.98
I may be one of the few who thought this third season of The Wire topped the previous two. The intercoiled plotlines, the emergence of some of the actors into greatness with their roles (Lance Reddick as Cedreic Daniels and Idris Elba as 'Stringer' Bell) plus a pair of bombshells regarding Det. 'Prez' Pryzbylewski (Jim True-Frost) and Commander Rawls (John Doman), and this made season three just stunning all the way around.

The focus on this season was politics and power, with the high power and the low. The Mayor sees trouble in his polling, so he makes the demand that crime stats must drop...or else. Stringer Bell needs to build his empire up and away from drugs while Avon barksdale is in jail, so he forms a coalition to sell dope while going straight...without Avon's knowledge. The cops are in the middle, and one of them, Major 'Bunny' Colvin (a fantastic Robert Wisdom) decides the only way to stop drug related crime is to stop arresting the criminals...and move them into crime-free zones in order to get them out of the neighborhoods. All the main activity thus revolves around "Hamsterdam's" rise and inevitable fall.

Along with the subplots that bring back Omar, Bubbles, Brodie, Attny Gen Rhonda, Brother Mouzone, Bunk and the rest make their mark. There's humor, suspense and an a tightly written story that picks up unbeliveable momentum as the store gets to the last three episodes. I had to sit with all three of the DVD's rather than wait to know what happened by that point. Great stuff, and the 4th season keeps the greatness coming.
