Jacob Weisberg from slate.com said that "The Wire," was, "Surely the best TV show ever broadcast in America." While I agree, I find his statement limiting in that I do not believe there has ever been a show broadcast in any country on this planet that was as good as "The Wire." Yes, it is that good.
Buy why? What is it about this show, a show that only received 2 Emmy nominations (half of Charlie Sheen's total for "acting") that engenders such fierce loyalty? On this show Jim and special guest Phil from Bakersfield discuss that very thing.Criterion Year Week 41: Ace In The Hole
