It is written by the two guys who wrote and produced The Wire, my favorite show on TV. I am currently beneath the weight of a brainstorm session on a series of blogposts I want to write that date back to July when I first started watching The Wire. The series will be about The Wire, The Corner, Dead Prez, the American ghetto, class, drugs, race, and much more. I am trying to find the cheapest (read free way) to get my hands on the HBO miniseries for further research. I just ordered David Simon's other book Homocide, and I am downloading their new mini-series project- Generation Kill.
Furthermore, I am excited to listen to this interview with David Simon about this new project. This expereince has been going on since July and I can't get enough. Soon you won't be able to either.

ReplyDeleteI was going to make a joke about "Homocide", maybe involving Omar, but I've reconsidered.
ReplyDeleteThe Wire was of course incredible and I will definitely be watching for Burns/Simon's future works.
