I was skeptical of The Wire at first. Why did/does everyone rave about it so much? I watched it and i understood why. The Wire isn't just a cop and drug dealers drama, its a deep and analitical view of modern life. It revolves around the fact that humans are humans, and in this monetary system, we cannot function to our highest extent.
Its a deeply pleasurable, deeply satisfying show, with not one cringeworthy scene, I gurantee! Every witicism, every sentence, every word, is wrapped with depth, vulgar and nobelity, just like human beings. The city itself shows this as we are shown the impoverished side as well as the sleek hierarchy offices of both the cops and the drug-lords. The cast also possess these human qualities, unlike most shows where characters have to stay 'in character' otherwise they don't seem like themselves at all. But, what this does is make them seem somewhat 2-D and bleak. In The Wire, the characters are stretched to the point where utter humanism is slapped right across your face so you practically become it.
All I can say is watch The Wire or bluddy die trying!!, as it is something that is not to be missed by anyone living in its time!
