More good news from HBO. They've remastered all five seasons of the critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning series, The Wire.
All 60 episodes of the urban Baltimore saga will debut in 16 x 9 full frame high definition on HBO Signature and HBO Go beginning the day after Christmas, with the complete series arriving on blu-ray this summer.
Creator David Simon (a former police reporter) has been closely involved with the restoration and conversion of the original 4:3 standard def episodes to 16 x 9 HD, as the show was shot on 35 mm with a gritty, documentary style that Simon feared might lose something in the sandblasting upgrade to high-def.
The Wire depicts individuals caught up in the many shades of gray that inhabit the institutions of crime, police, labor, politics and schools. If you've never seen it...wow - are you in for a treat.
No hype - it's one of the greatest shows of all time.
