Magazine Article
Good Mourning, Baltimore
2008
Overview
\"If you've never seen an episode of [the HBO series] 'The Wire'...by now you're probably sick of hearing about what a fool you are for missing it. The show has become an object of worship among critics and culture snobs (Barack Obama told TV Guide that it's his favorite show) and they--OK, we--can be flat-out annoying in our zeal for it, as if there are only two types of people: enlightened fans of 'The Wire,' and everyone else. Worse, with all our talk about the show's Dickensian cast of nearly 30 principal characters, its novelistic, episode-opening epigrams, its street-level patois and labyrinthine detail about city bureaucracy, we tend to make 'The Wire' sound like homework. In fact, the show is riveting, infuriating and funny as hell.\" (Newsweek) This article explores the critical success of \"The Wire,\" a series \"that started out in 2002 as a drama about a single West Baltimore detective unit but has evolved, with furious ambition, into the story of an entire city in decline.\"
