Like the subject matter, the series 'The Wire' is addictive. I have spoken before about how much I enjoy the move towards portraying the world as grey as it really is.
The old comic book stories of the goodies and the baddies is, to borrow a wire phrase, not how it goes down. The world is a murky murky place in which we make up rules to get by. As time goes by, those rules change as the world changes. Good people do bad things, bad people do good.
Series like this, as well as being entertaining, help us start to ask some of the right questions. It helps us figure out all the pieces.
Maybe the world is becoming more honest?
