TV Review - The Wire

The Wire - Season One (2002)
aka I'm Not Listing Individual Episode Credits This Time
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from As Seen On TV

I'm about one acting break of Veronica Mars away from overdosing on this TV-on-DVD phenomenon forever (and I'm not even writing about round-two Northern Exposure). Until I do, 13 episodes of "The Wire" shows up the fluff the networks pack into 24. Not that there's much to compare them, otherwise: "The Wire" makes it a level moral playing field for good and bad alike, writes romance as mutual release, and gifts a minor redhead I wouldn't normally consider my type with twice the attraction of any other woman on all of these shows.
