The Wire

This show has long been off the air. Five seasons of inner-city America. Touching on everything from the idiosyncrasies of the police department to failures in the school system all the way to the death of the newspaper.

Season 1 is back On Demand for HBO. Yeah, I own the box set. Yeah, I've watched the entire series about 4 times. Yeah, I read blogs about the show looking for insight to this day. The Wire is something of an anomaly. Layers and layers of an intricate plot, coupled with insight into Baltimore - one of the cornerstone cities of the U.S.

I'll never get tired of this show.
