I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Err, no it isntIts just that you have been brainwashed into thinking that all tv should be all over and done with on a per episode basis.
The Wire is proper storytelling, with a plot arc that goes from episode one through to the last.
Think of it like a book... you do read, yes?...

Yes it is.And I do read. Quite a lot actually given that I'm a writer by trade. And I watch a lot of TV shows with plot arc etc - like Dexter (now that's good writing).
This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. People can't stand it when you say you don't like The Wire. I feel like Peter Griffin admitting to 'not caring for' The Godfather.
Meh.
