Yesterday marked the end of something beautiful. My relationship with The Wire has now come to an end, and what a frustrating, liberating, hilarious and tremulous relationship that was. I'm still unsure as to whether I rank it or The Sopranos at the top of the best television programmes of all time, all I know is that it will probably be a long time before something like that is made again. Although on the other hand David Simon has succeeded in creating projects of the same caliber since 2008, one in particular that springs to mind was Generation Kill. The director, creator and show runner of The Wire has an eye for true details, usually casting real gangsters, politicians, policemen and journalists to fulfill the roles of his characters. The following few videos feature some of the best bits of the series (warning, spoilers!)
