The Wire
I just finished a 7-day marathon rewatch of The Wire. I am thus even more enthralled with how perfect a series The Wire is. I legitimately believe that The Wire is the best (not quite my favorite, but the "objective" "best") show ever made. I really, really appreciate David Simon's hyper-realistic, focus-on-accuracy style.

Do you feel like you actually know all those people? Like you are one of them? Like it's your neighborhood?
I felt like that after watching the series. |

I was bummed when Omar got killed. He was my favorite.

I tried to get into The Wire, both on my own and with the encouragement of a friend. It didn't stick.

I liked the school-focused season the best. I have been told I am not in the majority on this, but there it is.

I loved the first season. Then I really didn't get along with the second. Was kind of jarring, and I think I only managed two episodes.
