My TV Show of the Week: The Wire

Photobucket

As you can see I watch alot of TV and out of all the shows I watch very few stick out as genuine good writing. There are some that deceive you but are still good shows but there are always those shows that you feel are bigger then just being a TV show. That speak of a generation or cause. The Wire is certainly one of them.

Set in current times in Baltimore, Maryland The Wire follows every aspect of the inner city. The streets, the blue collar workers, the political side, the schools and the newspaper. WIth such brilliantly prepared plots and great casting The Wire really becomes a world of its own. Although it didn't recieve the ratings of The Sopranos or have the appeal of Entourage anyone who has watched it will tell you it is truly something special.
