Re: Give Me the Sales Pitch

[(Anonymous)]

The thing I wish someone had told me is how funny The Wire was, and how gripping. The way people talk about it makes it sound like a big serious-issues expose of the dark underbelly of the American Dream, with grim gritty hopeless subplots and Serious Acting all the way. And those elements are definitely all there. But it's also a wickedly funny show. And the characters aren't just representations of human failure constantly being betrayed by their flaws or the institutions around them. They're also complex and deeply likeable, human, sympathetic, endearing. And this is true for characters across every part of the show! Detectives, crack addicts, stick up men - everyone is not just realistic but enjoyable. The plot isn't just a slow demonstration of how everything good falls apart - it's also gripping and even thrilling as you watch people trying to put the pieces together and work out what's going on.

So, yeah. I would say it's definitely not just good but addictive. Because it's not just good in the Serious Critical way. It's just fucking good. It's slow moving but once it gets its hooks into you, it is deeply enjoyable and satisfying.
