Life in The Wire

pers_pineapple , y'all need to be wandering there now. Some fascinating discussions are going on and the meta is free flowing. It's really great reading all the thoughtful posts on the pilot episode. The pilot really does benefit upon rewatch, it gets better, especially since it lays on the ground works for the whole series.
Anyway, why are you still here? Mosey on here for fresh, insightful meta!
I've also been watching The Wire and like what other people said, it is a very good show but I'm still not in a point where I'm fannish about it but what I find interesting is how in a cursory way Life shares a lot of things with The Wire. I've often heard it stated that many consider The Wire as a visual novel, in a lot of ways, Life feels the same way too, Life is like The Wire's younger sibling, while The Wire tackles broad grand themes (or so I assume, since I've only just finished the first season), Life takes on a more personal and character based approach.
Although The Wire does great characters too.
