Out of the million new links about
The Wire out there right now, I'm picking this dimension of the show to reflect upon:
David Simon despises John Carroll and wrote some of this season out of revenge. If the name John Carroll rings a bell, it's because he was recently portrayed in press circles as a mensch for quitting his job as the editor of the
LA Times to protest staff cuts. All of this makes the reality/fictional elements of
The Wire even more complex.
Update: I should also link to the similarly-themed article in
The Atlantic:
The Angriest Man in Television.
