The genius of The Wire lies in its sheer size and scope, its slow layering of complexity which could not have been achieved in any other way but the serial format.  Dickens is often praised for his portrayal not merely of a set of characters and their lives, but of the setting as a character: the city itself an antagonist.  Yet in The Wire, Bodymore is a far more intricate and compelling character than London in Dickens' hands; The Wire portrays society to such a degree of realism and intricacy that A Tale of Two Cities—or any other story—can hardly compare.

Well, it is a Tale of Two Cities. One of them would have been shortchanged if he'd put all his effort into the other.

[Diomedes]

okay for farg sake, let's not get carried away.  The Wire is great television, but no television compares to great literature like A Tale of Two Cities.

i have never read it but i gotta believe tale of two cities is pretty much unreadable where as the wire couldnt be more watchable

advantage: wire

[Diomedes]

nor will you ever read it.  or most any great books. 

yay ignorance

[General_Failure]

I guess IGY's got far, far better things to do than you've ever done.

[Zanshin]

Thanks to HBO GO I've started watching The Wire. Thanks to you fargers, I feel dirty for watching it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Embrace it.

I will say to you what IGY said to me when I first started - I would give anything to go back and be able to watch it again for the first time.
