Re: Interesting artcile on HBO\'s The Wire
The article doesn't do the show justice.
Junt: It is definitely not over the top. It's anti drug war, but not to the point of distraction. It explores the issues surrounding drugs/crime/poverty/education in, I think, the most spectacularly measured and intelligent fashion, and it exposes shows like The Shield for the formulaic, cut and paste jobs that they are (and like paulie I always liked The Shield).
It basically puts all tv, and most film for that matter, to shame.
