There are good reasons for The Wire to be so ubiquitously lauded by critics, and those reasons definitely found their way into my own head as I came to experience the sheer heft of the thing. Reviews that refer to the show as "novelistic" aren't kidding; what starts out as a cop show quickly becomes much more. With every season the scope broadens, the relationships flourish, the politics fascinate. It took me a couple months to get through all 5 seasons, but boy am I glad I did. What a show!By the way, more Simpsonized treatments of The Wire drawn by Steve Lieber can be found at Periscope Studio. Love them!
Hey there! So this comment isn't in regard to your post, but rather to the comment you left on my blog over a year ago! Over the last year I've been intentionally ignoring my blog; sad, I know. For a few different reasons, I stopped writing. And I didn't only stop writing but I decided not to re-visit my blog. I guess I was pretending it just didn't exist at all... well, spring's seems to be over and summer is finally here, and even though my Sacramento life isn't as exciting as it was in Berlin, I've decided to start writing again. So I apologize that I didn't see your comment until yesterday - the first time in over a year that I actually went back to the blog. So, this is a long shot, but if you're still in sac, send me an email! We should meet for coffee. :) My email address is jessinberlin@gmail.com, or if you want to shoot me a text, feel free. My number is 225-7558, Sacramento area code. I really hope to hear from you! Thanks for the comment, btw. :)
