<-- back "The Wire" [is] a richly textured universe unto itself, populated by detectives, drug dealers, longshoremen, politicians and lawyers who have motives so diverse, surprising and complicated, each scene seems to reveal a new layer of depth and complexity. Watching this series is like navigating the streets of a genius- level SimCity -- it takes a while to grasp just how far from the TV-land basics creator David Simon is willing to wander.                                                 -- Heather Havrilesky, Salon.com When television history is written, little else will rival "The Wire," a series of such extraordinary depth and ambition that it is, perhaps inevitably, savored only by an appreciative few. Layering each season upon the previous ones, creator David Simon conveys the decaying infrastructure of his hometown Baltimore in searing and sobering fashion -- constructing a show that's surely as impenetrable to the uninitiated as it is intoxicating to the faithful.                                                      -- Brian Lowry, Variety.com The Wire [...] is surely the best TV show ever broadcast in America. This claim isn't based on my having seen all the possible rivals for the title, but on the premise that no other program has ever done anything remotely like what this one does, namely to portray the social, political, and economic life of an American city with the scope, observational precision, and moral vision of great literature.                                                     -- Jacob Weisberg, Slate.com

Wir hoffen, Sie haben am Sonntag noch nichts vor. The Wire zu zeigen ist nämlich die eine Sache, die, verglichen mit allen anderen, wir am dringendsten vorhatten in der Second Season von Pirate Cinema. The Wire ist tatsächlich so gut wie oben angepriesen: der Ausnahmefall einer *materialistischen* Fernsehserie, die (statt psychologischer Innenansichten von Helden, Anti-Helden, Guten oder Bösen) zeigt, wie die Welt (z.B. Drogenhandel, Polizeiarbeit, Kommunalpolitik, Gewerkschaften, Journalismus) funktioniert, mit einem so scharfen Blick fürs Detail und einem so genauen Ohr für Sprache, dass sie nicht etwa nur aus dem üblichen amerikanischen Unterhaltungsfernsehen einsam herausragt, sondern zugleich 30 Jahre europäisches Bildungsfernsehen mehr noch als bloss alt komplett verlogen aussehen lässt. Eher als eine Fernsehserie, meint David Simon, Erfinder, Schreiber und Produzent (ein <1> paar <2> Interviews <3> mit <4> Simon <5> zu lesen, zur Vorbereitung, würden wir empfehlen), sei The Wire ein 60-stündiger Film - und wahrscheinlich sind zum Einstieg zwölfeinhalb Stunden wenn auch etwas kurz so doch eine ganz gute Länge.
