The Wire

I’m a simple man who likes simple things, but life is infinitely complex. And then there’s The Wire. It is simply the most intricately detailed and beautifully crafted story I’ve ever watched. Good guys and bad guys blend into moral ambiguity, while one man’s solution is another man’s problem. I fundamentally believe that killing anybody is bad, but there were characters and situations that made me question that belief. Some people do what they consider the right thing for the right reasons and still end up making everything worse. The law is constantly being reinterpreted and bent to fit the facts and facts are being manipulated to fit the story or the law. It presents our society as inherently flawed and gives us a new perspective on our problems. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to creating this masterpiece of American media.
