since the WIre returns to HBO on Sept. 10 I thought I would prod the community to see if anyone else was as hooked on this show as i am. i started watching back in season one and now season four is upon us.
this show is tops for me for so many reasons. first of all it is very real. this show sugarcoats nothing with glitzy entertainment. the acting is unreal. the writing and dialogue are amazing. both the original creators of this show live and work in Baltimore. one brought the political knowledge from his years as an editor for the Baltimore Sun. the other was a Baltimore detective for years. some of the actors on the show were actually put in jail by the creator!
i could go on and on but i digress. let me say how sad i was to see stringer bell go down in season 3. my two favorites have always been stringer and bodie.
lastly did anyone see the two behind the scenes shows that aired lasty week?
they had former mayors, attorneys, councilmen, social workers etc. all talking about how this show reveals to us the real underclass of society and how closely linked it is to the upper powers of our inner cities. i really can't say enough about this show. if you have never seen it go and rent season one and you will get hooked through its realism and no holds barred approach this monstrosity of a poverty line that our country has created.
