Don't skip through any of this interview because you think parts of it are boring. All The Pieces Matter.
-
@AlertGoose my personal favourite, tied with Freamon
-
@GratefulVince I would have to agree, though I would add Matt Weiner to that list :)
-
Yeah! Bunny's my favourite character too. An absolute pillar of virtue in an uncompromising system.
-
I am in love with this man's writing. Everything he touches is gold. Homicide, Wire, Treme, Generation Kill - him and David Milch are the only 2 geniuses working in television today.
-
weird how all those people watched the unfathomable shit that was lost, yet this and deadwood, were hardly watched by anyone, this show, the wire was genius.
-
I am in love with the wire. I watched all 5 seasons 3 times. and knowing that the writer and producer has a deep understanding of all sides of the game makes the show that much better.
-
awesome interview
-
@myfacesp they should show the The Wire in schools, and test the students on it.
-
This interview is amazing. I seriously think The Wire should be shown in highschools across the USA, even if it's in edited form. It may be a work of fiction, but it the themes and messages ring true.

Wow, what a great interview. I think every person in America needs to watch this show, then watch this interview afterwards. Police, teachers, CEOs, drug lords, corner boys, average working class citizens, and guys up in Washington. It would teach us all something.

Is it just me, or is Bunny Colvin the most important character on The Wire and therefore the most important character on television?
