The Wire

For the past month or so, S. and I have been watching DVDs of The Wire. We’re almost done with Season 3, and with only two seasons left to go, I’m already dreading the end of the series. I can’t say enough good things about it, can’t possibly come up with the words to tell you how fucking incredible this show is. But if you haven’t seen it, and you can get the DVDs, do. It’s beautiful and painful and so real it makes me want to move to Baltimore and find these people, until I realize they’re only on TV.

Here’s a scene from the episode we just watched. I don’t want to say anything about who these people are or what the significance of it is, in case you haven’t seen the show yet. They’re friends. That’s all you need to know.
