The VERY BEST SERIES on TV EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is hands down THE best that television has to offer and is a show that is a must have for every DVD collection. Season four continues the tradition of offering the very best writing on television, artfully woven storytelling combined with skillful, thoughtful direction and beautiful, authentic and heartfelt performances. This season continues to explore the depths of the breakdown in the lower economic level of society and how the overall lack of opportunity, the breakdown of the family unit and overall neglect has effected this particular area of Baltimore. Season Four delves into the failure of our American education system along with the tragic effects of the 'no child left behind' program. This particularly heartbreaking season follows the lives of four young men within the middle school system and puts a glaring light on a system that offers little hope for their futures. Although this particular drama looks at Baltimore in partcular it serves as a perfect example of the wide scope of detrioration that the issues the show continues to focus on have effected too many of our, once great, American communities. This show is relentless in it's pursuit of honestly portraying the effects of neglect on an entire portion of society. It is unflinchingly in it's honesty and is a perfect example of using the medium of television in the most responsible way...not only to entertain but to educate, enlighten and provoke thoughtful conversation. I was particularly impressed with the fourth season and cannot believe that this show continues to not gain the recognition and viewership it so richly deserves.
