Endorsement: Heaven And Here
I want to make a contentious point, and one that I don‚Äôt make for the sake of gladiatorial insinuations, or allusions of grandeur. The Wire is not only a better show, but more specifically a better show about criminality and race in the United States than The Sopranos could ever hope to be. This is not a new or novel point, and is one that many will recognize from Bill Simmons’ loving endorsement of our beloved Charm City saga.
Our man J. Gabriel Boylan just started a blog about The Wire ‚Äî now undeniably, definitely the best show currently airing on HBO ‚Äî and we wanted to let you know about that. For the uninitiated, The Wire is about cops (mostly crooked ones) and the drug trade in Baltimore, and we’re hooked because watching this show is basically like staring into a looking glass at some awful future where like all of Philly just turned into Kensington.
