Great read that HR, thanks for posting it.
Absolutely love The Wire and IMO, its the best TV show ever made. Interesting to read about its origins and the experiences of most of the writers. Also I didn't know that the guy who played Ray Cole was a producer and director on the show, and that he died in real life. That explains the sudden death of Cole on the show and was a great way to pay homage to the man in real life with the wake in the Irish pub.
Certainly owe alot to HBO for picking The Wire up and keeping it going for 5 seasons. They always make the best shows. Keep an eye out for another one that may air this time next year, called A Game of Thrones. Its being filmed in Belfast at the minute.
