There's gonna be a fifth series and it will be the last. Well I've heard nothing to the contrary. I think it was nearly cancelled at the end of series three due to low viewing figures but the HBO execs saw sense and just realised it was too good to cancel.
Series 4 is completely awesome btw. And I'm so sadly hard core I tracked down the previous series The Corner which was The Wires' partial inspiration and, I think, done by the same bloke. It's very good but incredibly depressing as it's basically all characters like Bubbles.
I keep meaning to track down some of the novels written by the writers (one of which is seen in the show). Yeah, that sad.
Don't really have a problem with the accents, apart from the girl gangster. But I think no-one understands her!
