Both of David Simon's adapted works are examined in close detail with the help of superman Jim McKeone! The first of many Black History Month themed focused episodes mainly sum up how both Baltimore-set shows were able to capture a big crowd years later and win much critical acclaim despite gaining low viewership and hardly any awards. How many big names got their start directing, writing or acting on this show? Is this still Andre Bragger's best role to date? How much more cynical is Det. Munch on this compared to how he later was on the Law & Order saga? Is The Wire still easily HBO's most ballsy show to date? How does either show compare to other crime/procedurals like The Sopranos, Bosch, NYPD Blue or The Shield? And what can be expect from other upcoming projects of Simon or producers Tom Fontana/Barry Levinson?
