Been watching The Wire for the past few months as its being re-run on FX and I missed it the first time it was shown over here.
Its fantastic, the characters are likable and it gives and really interesting characterisation of the 'good guys' anf the 'bad guys'. The Police Chiefs come across as power addicted beaucrats who only care about percentages than actually helping people. Whilst you see the sort of unending cycle and futility of the drug dealer's lives. The story also twists like a motherfucker, with some truly left field moments that just make you sit there and go :O
