Excellent show, excellent price, not so great packaging

I'm not going to go into how great the show is - just check out the reviews on this or any other site and you'll get an idea of what to expect. This particular set, however, is a five star product in one star packaging. The the wire dvd are packaged in terrible cardboard sleeves, which will guarantee a few scratches even if you just take them out once and put them in a real case (which I recommend), and they'll eventually be rendered unplayable if you choose to continue to store them in the sleeves. There are also no great set-exclusive bonuses, as there were in other Complete Series sets, like Six Feet Under's soundtrack CD's and commemorative book, MASH's extra discs, or Homicide's (also by Wire creator David Simon) cool filing cabinet packagingthe wire dvd and bonus Law and the wire dvdOrder crossover episodes. Still, this is an undeniably great series,. It's far cheaper than buying them individually, even if you already picked up a season or two.
