The Wire, SOOO GOOOD

I've been ripping through the Wire season 1 like Lindsey Lohan through dime bags. I really don't think I've ever seen a show this solid. It has the scariest character ever in Omar. Omar runs through the projects with a shotgun and everyone clears out. He's the best character I have ever seen. The show is a portrayal of a crime organization who runs drugs in the projects of Baltimore. On the flip side is the Baltimore police and a special unit designed to catch Avon Barksdale, the man who runs everything, but nobody knows anything about. A rock solid ensemble cast, some of whom get re-used by HBO to this day (OMAR= Chalky White). It's a real drama that has great enough characters for you to care about what happens to them. Too much talent encompass this with greatness. The show sheds light on the flaws of police, junkie, dealer, and officials alike. It shows humanity in all aspects of people, even a dude named WeeBay who shoots people often, yet has 8 fish tanks he cares for like children. I've ran through ALMOST all of season 1, and I'm pretty much hellbent on ripping through all the seasons ASAP. Looks like I'll take a few remaining vacation days to just rip through a season a day. Simply the finest drama I can think of, right on par with Sons of Anarchy, only I REALLY like how it shines light on the police aspect with much greater intensity, but it's also on HBO, so F-bombs and murder rain all over it. The realism is unparalleled. WATCH THIS SHIT OR I'M SENDING OMAR AT YOU.
