"""Here are the hard truths about """"The Wire,"""" not all of them the kind of accolades that might sit well with a producer hoping for a big turnout come Sunday. First, it is, in fact, a difficult series. Viewers would benefit greatly from having seen the first three seasons, currently available on DVD or waiting like little orphans at Netflix. (That said, you can slide into season 4 on Sunday with less effort than it took to hook yourself on season 3, in part because """"The Wire"""" is essentially starting from scratch, and new viewers could check out the immensely helpful HBO Web site to familiarize themselves with the characters, and also come to Jesus on the issue of great art taking a little more effort than, say, watching a sudsy hospital drama.)
Second, the argument over whether """"The Wire"""" is the best show on television needs only two other participants -- also from HBO -- in the form of """"The Sopranos"""" and """"Deadwood."""" Rather than split hairs, let's just say that the breadth and ambition of """"The Wire"""" are unrivaled and that taken cumulatively over the course of a season -- any season -- it's an astonishing display of writing, acting and storytelling that must be considered alongside the best literature and filmmaking in the modern era.""
