Watching The Wire is just as much a treat the second time 'round. But you could not pay me to watch it (or engage in similar activities) with someone who was hung up on whether watching it was cool or not. SHEESH, that sounds like a big ol' barrel of NOT FUN.

I actually did not get into the show on my rewatch, save for the second season.

well into s4 on my first rewatch, w/ my roommate, who has never seen it. fun to watch him make totally faulty predictions and appreciate all the smart little bits of writing and plot/character beats.

It's true. The scene where they throw piss-filled balloons in The Wire is merely a retread of when Jake Sisco and that Young Ferengi got totally pwned when they tipped over Odo's bucket and found out it was just oatmeal.

Simon doesn't mention that the Grantland-bracket article features Obama:http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7646862/smacketology-
― the hairy office thing (Eazy), Saturday, 14 April 2012 05:35 (fourteen years ago)
The Grantland bracket is horrible but when Simmons was writing about the Wire a few years ago, he always seemed to have a take on it that did revolve around the issues Simon wanted to deal with and the show's quality as drama, rather than "man, Omar was cooler than Stringer!!!!"
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Saturday, 14 April 2012 05:38 (fourteen years ago)

Michael B. Jordan (Wallace, Barksdale gang dealer): This is some real shit. It was real to the point where crackheads would come up and try to cop. I had fake money, and they would come over, and an exchange would go down. I would think they were part of the crew, and I’d make the exchange. Then security would come around and be like, “No! No! No!” and break it up. I was like, “Oh, shit! That’s really a crack-head! I’m sorry! I’m not really a drug dealer!”
