The Wire - Season 3 Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 30 Aug 2015 | updated - 07 Sep 2015 | PublicSeason rating - 9.5-amazing
Highlight episode - Middle Ground
Amazing season that perfectly wrapped up the Barksdale organisation's story, both Stringer and Avon's ends completely fitting to their characters - despite that, they will be missed. The show still continued world-building and making sure every character had a part to play in the big scheme of things, fantastic writing and acting throughout.
