The Wire is one of the greatest shows ever made for television. It is thought-provoking, complex, and incredibly well-done.The packaging this set of DVDs comes in is absolutely terrible. It is flimsy and completely incapable of protecting these valuable disks against damage during transport. I've gone through most of the DVDs in the package so far, and out of about 20 disks that I've tried, at least 7 of them have given me read errors. I have had to use special software to recover the data and make these DVDs watchable.Do yourself a favor and watch the Wire in another manner. I don't know if the single season DVD sets also suffer from the same problem. If not, they may be a better solution.I cannot believe that such a fine show is being distributed in such a shoddy manner.
