The fourth season of The Wire has been universally lauded and hailed as one of the best seasons of television ever produced. As of 2012, it is listed as the second highest rated individual TV season of all time on Metacritic (behind season 5 of Breaking Bad), with a score of 98 out of 100 based on 21 critics—including 17 perfect score reviews.

It’s great. But the weakest of the 4 seasons, so far, in my opinion.

At this point it’s mainly my favourite characters keeping me going.

I cannot recall any characters of fiction anything like Omar or Snoop.

On to season 5.
