Sold on The Wire
Posted: July 23rd, 2007 | Author: Simon | Filed under: Journal | Tags: Television, the-wire, youtube | Comments OffHaving recently lost my interest in Lost (pun indeed intended), more on that elsewhere, I’m happy to know that there are still shows out there that rank miles and miles above the rest. Enter The Wire.
Bunk and McNulty visit the vacant apartment of Diedre Kresson, the young woman killed in the old murder case they’ve been asked to work, to see if there’s a connection to Barksdale. The partners conduct the entire investigation, needing barely a word between them to communicate. #
Barely a word? Well one word is used quite creatively. If that’s not TV genius for you I don’t know what is. If you haven’t already seen The Wire it comes highly recommended. Fucking A!
Oh, and one last thing. It’s made by the some of the same guys that brought us the brilliant Homicide: Life on the Street namely David Simon.
