CWD: who fucking knew?

The Wire
One of my favorite topics.

I would put forth The Wire not only as the best narrative fiction even on screen, but maybe the best IN ANY FORMAT of the last 25 years. Now, I'm no encyclopedia of narrative fiction, but I'm decently read, FWIW. It's gritty, tragic, beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, deep, and so incredibly well acted that it is hard to lift yourself out of the story when an episode is over. That's probably why I've never met anyone who watched it on DVD that can watch just one episode.

I have a few issues with Season 5, but there are maybe 10 weak minutes out of ~3000 total.

I'd sure love to hear Levi's comments on the Parusso. And The Wire, but I think he and I have discussed it.

Sur écoute.
 
I like the Parusso Sauvignon Blanc alright.

This cat was following us around Rocche di Castiglione, which is near Parusso's place. We figured it was Parusso's cat. Could be wrong about that.
