it was a more of a thing in the first season, granted

except season 4 which might as well have had a flashing sign the bottom that said "this actually happens in inner city schools"

david simon is big on saying that his stuff is more about class than race, as i recall

it's more or less "hey super privileged people, you won't believe how radically different the day to day experience of people you don't really talk to is from your own", which includes race as a facet but isn't really the major thrust

the best commentary of the show is how it carefully shows you how tons of people making decisions that are in their own best interest makes everything way worse on average, it is basically "tragedy of the commons: the show"

you know this makes absolutely no sense when you're talking about the creator of the work itself, right

it's especially ridiculous to be that flippant when he's known for creating really human characters and created one of the largest majority-black casts ever seen on television, don't be a dick

the wire gets better the further it gets from cop drama. each season after the first spends serious time on developing characters other than cops so every season after the first is good

season 1 is the worst. it is probably the best cop drama that has ever been on television but that's kind of a low bar to clear because lol who gives a gently caress

season 2 is the best. yeah it's about crime and cops are involved but it's most definitely not a cop drama anymore.
