We’ll be hosting a running season-long discussion of the final 10 episodes of HBO’s incomparably dope drama, The Wire.This week’s recap is by David McDowell, a musician from Philly. Spoilers!
Wow.
Five episodes in, and almost on cue, the heat has been turned up exponentially at practically every angle. Half truths and outright lies inch closer to the surface and threaten to expose themselves and one another. Money is still at a premium at the mayor’s office, and tempers flare in the ranks as police pull out every trick in the book, every reason under the sun, and then some- in order to get funding for some real police work. Baltimore’s looking more and more like a water main that’s one hairline fracture away from a serious rupture.
