Dominic West as Jimmy McNulty - Radio Times, July 2007 |

Jack Seale on the unlikely star of gritty crime drama The Wire.
"What's the most acclaimed
TV show ever? I Claudius?
The Singing Detective?
The Sopranos? One US drama
you might never even have heard of
has got them all beat. For five years, subtly searing police
saga The Wire
has had US critics scrambling for
superlatives: "TV as great
modern literature" (TV
Guide); "an astonishing
display of writing, acting
and storytelling" (San
Francisco Chronicle);
"the greatest dramatic series
ever" (Newsday); "when
television history is written,
little else will rival
The Wire" (Variety).
And the star is a
Brit: Dominic West
does a faultless
Midwestern
accent as Jimmy
McNulty, the
last word
in driven,
flawed
maverick
cops. You'd
never guess
he went to
Eton."

Now take a look at our full guide to The Wire.
