I just wanted to chime in and say the initial OP and 1st episode summary is phenomenal - I'm glad I noticed this thread early! It's been nearly 4 years since watching this series from start to finish, and this is a great excuse to watch it again.

Jerusalem posted:It has been said before, but anybody who hasn't read The Corner and Homicide: A Year In The Killing Streets owes it to themselves to do so. In The Corner in particular, Simon will reach points where he somewhat abandons the narrative/"characters" (it is a non-fiction account of real people after all) in order to go on lengthy asides/tirades about the complete failure of various elements of Government/society, puncture holes in many "common sense" solutions/beliefs and remind everybody just how hosed up things are. I shall take your recommendation and am ordering right now. This also reminds me that I still need to watch The Corner! I'll say its a good way to start 2013. Which should I do first - read or watch?

I'm chiming in to say thank you to Escape Artist and Jerusalem for these amazing write-ups. It's great that you're updating the OP with links to each one as it's going to get difficult to track these down as the thread grows. It's been a good 4 years now since I've watched The Wire in its entirety, and I think now's the time.
