(S04E02) "I still wake up white in a city that ain't." -- CarcettiLike a lot of people, I watched the first three seasons on DVD. I'm used to overdosing on the shows. Watching them one by one is going to be a painful adjustment, like being forced to put down a good novel every fifty pages for a week. Torture!
A season of The Wire builds slowly, methodically revealing it's characters and theme at a carefully crafted pace. And, watching these, one by one, as they were intended to be shown, only reinforces how powerful the series is. So we've had to wait until the second episode for our first glimpse of some of the show's staple characters.
