Any fans of "The Wire" out there?
I discovered it not long ago and WOW it blew me away. Over two weeks i got through all five seasons and suffered from serious withdrawal symptoms afterwards.
I've never been a big fan of cop shows but "The Wire" is no ordinary cop show. Its not the classic "Good cops" versus "Bad gangsters" you're use to seeing. Every character has a motive and a reason for doing what they are doing, weather its a cop planting a gun, a drug dealer dealing or a junkie findings ways to get his next fix. It all seems so realistic.
Every single character has a rich and complexe personality and you end up caring for every single one of them.
"The Wire" also tackles very strong and important issues such as drug dealing, politics, the press, failing educational systems and the on going vicious circle of life in the ghetto.
