The Wire

[Gittins Gal]

Can't be arsed with stuff you have to watch with subtitles unless the original language is Swedish or Danish.

There was a wonderful, wonderful french supernatural series called The Returned last summer which had me thoroughly gripped. That had subtitles.

N.B spoiler below

It was a strange ending though, with all the "zombies" going back to the the deep of the reservoir and it led to me assuming there would be another season.

Last I heard of it was that there was to be an American remake. Same story minus all the subtlety, presumably. Though, to be fair to our American cousins, they are much, much better at subtlety these days. Indeed, all the quality drama seems to be coming from that side of the pond and all the dross full of PC tokenism etc seems to be coming from here. Which, in my case, has led to a degree of prejudice on my part in that I just don't bother with any UK TV drama anymore. And I'm sure I've missed out - the new Sherlock Holmes stuff with Benedict Cumbernauld was meant to have been brilliant but I don't know because I looked at the listings and thought Meh!

The Wire is probably my favorite TV series of all time. Some of the characters are fantastic and the way its shot / delivered focusing on each characters story is well done.

Proposition Joe, Barksdale, McNulty, Keema, Marlo....The great characters are endless and a pleasure to watch.

TV at its finest

Ahem, you're forgetting someone

Also, don't forget Omar!

Have you seen those R-Kelly hilarious (hip opera) trapped in the closet (they were apparently serious), where Omar is a gay policeman with a midget? I kid you not!!

Puts him in a completely different light

EDIT: Just had to double check, I don't think he's gay after all but a midget is shagging his wife and hides in the kitchen cupboard
