A great article on teevee on what’s great about The Wire. I agree 100%. It’s an amazing show. It’s everything Homicide was in its heyday (the Luther Mahoney era) and more. The way Jimmy stuck it to Rawles this week was the funniest, most evil thing I’ve ever seen on TV and I could not stop laughing. If you like TV that doesn’t tell you what to think, or need everything spelled out for you to enjoy a show – watch it. You won’t regret it.
The Wire – Season Two – Watch It!
The Wire is the best show on TV, this summer. If you like the writing check out George Pelecanos books. He is writing half of this year’s episodes. He has a dozen books or so books that are all great.
