 Coolness: 145185 | anyone into this besides me?
it just might be the greatest show ever... HBO original production which began in 02, it's about crack and cops, and the politics that surround them in baltimore maryland in the late 90s... it's a little hard to find it (especially the early episodes) on the streaming and download sites but well worth the look...\ here is the links for the first few episodes for download from [ mininova.com ] (with french sub titles...) [ www.mininova.org ] [ www.mininova.org ] [ www.mininova.org ] [ www.mininova.org ] enjoy... |

 Coolness: 46510 | I JUST started watching it (the wire) this week, at the insistence my friend who downloaded the whole series and basically rushes home after work to watch it on his computer..
I think it's quite possibly the best television series ever. Fucking RAW! Oz was amazing the first few seasons but fell off towards the end. |

 Coolness: 51225 | it's pretty great - just started season 5 last night and i will probably nur home to watch the rest tonight after work.
it's no sopranos though. to me there are too many plots and characters. i guess it's more like real life but you end up having certain plot threads that you don't really care about. some characters end up not getting as developed as they could. |

 Coolness: 52940 | I love the WIRE. I just finished season 2. I find the style of the show takes a little getting us to and at some points in season one I even found it a little frustrating... Im guess I have become more use to shows that rely on action to keep the viewer interested. I like how it dosn't always give you what you expect...Its feels much more true to real life
here is a pretty good article about the show for those who havnt seen it. [ www.guardian.co.uk ] |

 Coolness: 69045 | "[W]e are not selling hope, or audience gratification, or cheap victories with this show. The Wire is making an argument about what institutions—bureaucracies, criminal enterprises, the cultures of addiction, raw capitalism even—do to individuals. It is not designed purely as an entertainment. It is, I'm afraid, a somewhat angry show", writer/producer david simon ( [ blogs.guardian.co.uk ] )
i love this show and i think it is brilliant. when i don't like american tv, it's not only b/c of the underlying, never-ending WASPy moral themes and values (i.e. propaganda), but how blatantly obvious they are. everything from characterization, casting, soundtrack, product placement, etc., ... it feels like getting hit over the head (again and again and again) with what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. just in case the plot wasn't transparent enough. prime time tv makes the everyday banal. and, whether it is true or not that we are in a particularly bad moment in history to be unconscious of social issues, and/or to be sustaining the social structure as it is, i like the wire because it portrays life as more complex than the overly-simple and absolute morality of most american television. i agree that the wire does feel much more true to 'real-life'. crime shows, esp. police dramas seem particularly set up to validate a certain set of values. the simplistic 'good guy vs. bad guy' theme is so tired it was always dead to me. i don't want to see police portrayed as heroes, i don't want to see criminal (racist and classist) stereotypes, and i can't (and i don't want to) identify with simple moral judgements. in the wire, the characters are not so easily identifiable into opposing categories of good/evil. whichever side of the law, the people in this show are all entangled in existence, and all have human qualities (confused and complex). also, i totally think they've done an incredible job with the production and artistic direction, which seems pretty innovative and bold to me ; the majority casting of african americans reflects the demographics of baltimore in an accurate way, which is rare in tv drama. it took me awhile to notice what exactly about the soundtrack was different- besides the opening theme and closing theme songs (eg.tom waits), there is only diegetic music (all music emanates from a source within the scene). there is no muzak to cue you when to feel sad, glad, mad, scared or horny. the plot is not easy in that there are many different stories going on at the same time, and characters, stories and context is highly developed. this show doesn't feel formulaic, nor gimmicky, nor predictable. the pacing of the show definitely feels slow, as compared to other tv drama. but not slow-boring. slower (than other pop culture), with more dimension. ... "a meditation on the death of work and the betrayal of the American working class.…t is a deliberate argument that unencumbered capitalism is not a substitute for social policy; that on its own, without a social compact, raw capitalism is destined to serve the few at the expense of the many." writer/producer david simon ( [ blogs.guardian.co.uk ] )
(obviously, this show has had little commercial success). |

 Coolness: 76695 | Just started on season 1, decided to rent it because the online links are all dead or something. Great show in every way. Yes I know renting is pricey, especially at Boite Noire, but it's all right there and organized by directors... |
