"A man got to have a code."
I just spent the past two days watching season 4 of The Wire. I've had the dvds for almost a year but finally started watching them when I got sick over the holidays. I can't believe it took me this long to watch the show because holy eff, it is fantastic. Realistic, complex, nothing is ever black and white and seeing bureaucracy in action is frustrating and infuriating.
I've been watching an episode or two here and there but could not stop myself from clicking "next episode" once I hit season 4. The theme of the season is education and it was completely fascinating and heartbreaking to see these barely-teenage boys grow up and survive in their neighbourhood and pulled into the drug game because that was all they knew.
I'm eager to finish the last season but The Wire is like a good book - I can't put it down, but don't want it to end either.
