I can’t believe, I just can’t believe this man! You know the show The Wire which had got cancelled after its third season but kept garnering good reviews and came back to screen once again for its fourth season. The Wire has won TCA Heritage Award. The critics have hailed it as the all time great classic and the greatest drama ever made on television.
Hats off to David Simon for creating such magnificently impressive drama series. The series is definitely close to the hearts of every common man of States. We all see such irregularities and injustices in our routine life on the part of government institutions as well as the private ones, but common man is unable to bring about a change. The similar thing is depicted in the show. I like such realistic shows but I was not expecting it to win any awards. It mostly deals with the underbelly of our society and not many are willing to accept the truth as it depicts it.
I don’t know about others but I am a huge fan of this show from the very beginning. I liked the theme of the show, portraying, urban life and its troubles, artistic ambitions and zeal to achieve something new. It is different as it deeply explores the sociological structures and norms of America. Actually this is based on the experiences and understanding of show creator David Simon, as he faced many similar dilemmas while he was working as a police reporter. His portrayal is authentic and his characters right out of the streets.
The show came to an end after fifth season, but I still think that it should have continued
Anyways, I am still enjoying this show as I watch its episodes from previous seasons. I am keenly interested in political and social dramas and it satisfies my hunger for a socially relevant series. But hey! Sixty episodes are not enough for me and I want more.
