Though the former NBC drama has been released in its entirety on DVD before, its reissue in a 35-disc "mega-set" is well worth noting.

Inspired by a nonfiction book by David Simon, the much-honored drama from producers Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana features a sterling acting ensemble as it details the cases of a Baltimore police unit.

Andre Braugher, Yaphet Kotto, Richard Belzer, Ned Beatty, Daniel Baldwin, Melissa Leo and Clark Johnson are among the superb actors. **** (Not rated: AS, P, V)
