Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I liked how some of the Homicide scenes got reworked in the Wire....
A lot of those were reworked from the book which was based off of real life. Quite a few things from The Corner book ended up in there as well. I can't remember the mini-series well enough to know if any ended up in The Wire.
That website is absolute filth, in terms of adverts and auto-play videos.
Yes it is

Article immediately wrong. Those aren't the words with which The Wire begins, and neither is the line "It's America, man", it's "This America, man".

I really enjoyed series one. Someone lent me all the DVDs at the time. Then I got to series two. The first DVD was fine. Watched the first three episodes. Then the next one was missing. I just couldn't skip an episode, let alone three. I thought I would wait until I could get all the DVDs complete. It's just not happened yet.

Ugh, 24 was shit after episode 12. It was supposed to only be 7 episodes or something, but they re-edited the last few episodes to make up 12. . . . but it was still popular so they wrote another 12 and ruined it. I tried watching series 2 but it was mega shit and gave up after two episodes.
The Sopranos is just super shit. I really don't understand the attraction.

The Wire was good though.

There's a Bubbles rehab scene that cropped up in one of Pelecanos' books. I guess he reworked it for the series.

I think I saw some of those way back. They were fairly forgettable.
