The Wire: Season 5, Episode 1

orsonwellesrabbit [Edit] [Delete] 03:47, 30 April '09

Didn't really dig it. Felt like they've started writing for the critics rather than the people the show's about. Some absolute howlers in the script, too:

"Americans by and large are a stupid people. They believe pretty much whatever they're told."

This has definitely never been remarked upon by every sentient thinking person in the free world who isn't American.

"You believe everything that you read?"

THEMES! HANDILY SPELLED OUT WITH THE SUBTLETY OF A BRICK TO THE FACE!

Apart from that I'm still liking Marlowe. Surely the biggest baddest badass since badassery became big?
