I've almost finished the first season of The Wire...so I think it's about 20 years old, but wow, it seems so dated in many ways.
It's more like a dark soap opera than a written series, IMO....lots of characters, lots going on.
I've spent quite a bit of time in Baltimore, so some of it is relatable...place names, neighborhoods, vibe....the politics are haunting.
I understand there's a book behind it, written by someone in the life. I need to go look that up.
Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on
