I finished season 3 yesterday. I am skipping all of the graphic sex. The depiction of sexuality in this show would have been rated at least NC-17 15 years ago.
I still agree that the show is valuable in the way that it addresses issues of race, class, and poverty. There are no simple answers to “the drug problem.”
Somewhere in the middle of season 3. It is depressing and sort of a busman’s holiday, since I work with clients who are court-mandated substance abusers.
Shipping the second to last disk of season 2 back to netflix Monday. Final two episodes should be here no later than Thursday. Interesting.
I’m in the middle of season 2 of The Wire, right after Dee got killed in prison.
It is a great series, illustrating the complexities of daily life for many people. They are my ‘peeps,’ as I work as a substance abuse counselor in the criminal justice system.
I read The Corner last year and highly recommend it as well.
