I learnt a lot by just watching The Wire, too.
I learnt that I think 'cult US cop dramas' are a tedious heap of shit.

So you watched it?

I was given a cast iron guarantee that it was brilliant
so I watched about three episodes and complained. I was then assured that I simply hadn't watched enough so I watched several more.

It was gash. My friend was telling me how amazingly realistic it was. My friend, the medical market researcher, married with two kids, who lives in suburban London and would be unlikely to find Baltimore on a fucking map, let alone comment on the accuracy of a drama set there.

Load of old toss.

cf the time I went to Cork, tried the Guinness - it was exactly the fucking same as in London.
Oh no, you have to have it in Dublin.

Then I got re-routed through Dublin - it was once again exactly the same.

tl:dr People talk shit
