Why We're Teaching 'The Wire' at Harvard In our course on urban inequality at Harvard this semester, we want our students to understand the roots of the social conditions in America's inner cities. To that end, we get some help from Bodie, Stringer Bell, Bubbles and others from HBO's "The Wire." http://www.hks.harvard.edu/news-events/news/commentary/teaching-the-wire-at-harvard | ||

My friend recommended 6 feet under to me as he told me it's almost as real as The Wire? Thoughts? | ||

This show is really something else. It is like the culmination of David Simon's life's work and a once-in-a-century kind of masterpiece. I've watched it multiple times and every now and then rewatch certain episodes from it because it is just that good. Though in my opinion you'll most likely only get exactly how good it is on the second time you watch it, that show is just filled with so much detail that once you're not wasting eneregy trying to follow the plot theres so much more to it, and you'll find still more if you watch David Simon's talks/interviews etc. Here's the best review of The Wire I've read: http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc51.2009/Wire/index.html (FANBOY ALERT OVER) | ||

Unlike other shows, which as all entertainment goes, are inherently transitory, The Wire's real, and it shines a light on problems we don't want to acknowledge, problems in the schools, the policing, the politics, media. And it's digestable. | ||

I watched the Sopranos after hearing good things about it and trying to recapture "The Wire feeling" but i didn't like it much all i could think after last episode is all the characters in it are hypocrite. | ||
