Re: fans of The Wire: which character is your favorite?
fly,
i think a decent amount of people that don't *like* the wire have a tough time dealing with how downright depressing and fatalistic it can be. it is not the easiest show to watch after a hard day of work. a lot of americans just want to relax and the wire is not the tv show to let them. all the problems of *real* life, the problems right down the street, scare the crap out of people.
that being said, if i meet someone who actually thinks the wire is bad, i immediately know to completely ignore their taste and opinion on anything. i figure i probably wont like them either.
