I love 'The Wire', I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest it's possibly the best television programme ever made and I also have a lot of time for the Guardian online blogs. This book though, I did not like. For all the Guardian's bleating about it's love of the programme (and trust me they really do like to go on about it) this is nothing more than a shameless cash-in. This you could forgive if something new was brought to the table but they couldn't even be bothered to make half an effort, ...more
The Wire Re-up is a collection of the episode-by-episode Guardian blogs of my, and many, many other's, favourite TV shows ever.
It's an essential read if you've seen all 5 seasons, full of interesting insights and perspectives on the themes and characters explored in the show - it definitely helped me think about things I had missed the first time round.
Great extras include a short essay by creator David Simon and The Wire Top 5's.

It's not a very good book. It reads more like a discussion forum that someone printed, bound and charged $US 10 for but for "The Wire" apostles it's a joy to read because you get to re-live the series.
If you loved "The Wire" you pretty much have to read this book. You'll know it's a half-assed work because it's clear the editors didn't even bother editing but you'll still enjoy reading it.
