It’s been two years since the last episode of The Wire aired. Produced by HBO and set in Baltimore, it was described by many people as “the world’s best television series ever”. Even by those who generally never watch television because the standards of tv shows are usually so low.
The blog The Wire Re-Up on the Guardian website dealt with the intricacies of the show on a weekly basis, every Tuesday one episode was dissected, however it was not targeted on newcomers but on hard-core fans who had seen the whole series before. Yesterday the last ever post was published, analyzing the acting skills of the cast of The Wire on the occasion of season five, episode 10 – the last episode ever.
You can still find all the articles online, the first blog post in the series features links to Word magazine’s Wire lookalikes gallery, The Wire in five minutes and NYT’s What Do Real Thugs Think Of The Wire?
