In The Wire
The Wire’s fifth and final season begins this Sunday. I even signed up for HBO so I could watch it as it aired. Congrats to HBO for earning my patronage — it wasn’t Sex and the City or the Sopranos or even poor murdered Deadwood, it was The Wire that did it.
The first episode has been available on HBO on Demand all week, so I’ve, like, totally already seen it, and it is the greatest television show ever. I will say no more.

I have set the TiFaux. In the absence of many, many other shows I’m going to give The Wire a try. Also, I heard it’s about the Baltimore Sun and that intrigues me, because they accepted me for an internship when I was in college but then said “no, just kidding, we’re eliminating the entire internship program for budget reasons.” So there’s that.

I love that you’re going to give it a try, but I am also worried, because I feel like you might need the previous four seasons ahead of time for full enjoyment. That being said, I am sure you will enjoy at least part of it (the newspaper part, because it’s just being introduced for the first time and it’s publishing), but not having those previous four seasons may prove too much of a hurdle for the rest of the show. Let me know how it goes!!
