For what it's worth

[hackthis_archive]

Whether or not you're familiar with David Simon's The Wire*, this is still an absolutely beautiful article about interracial relationships and people in general and god knows it's nice to read something positive for a change, instead of about how much people suck. Because, y'all, sometimes people fucking suck... and sometimes they don't.


*FYI: If you have not seen The Wire you are missing out of some of the most well-written, compelling television ever created. It's not pretty or light, so if that's what you're after, don't bother. But if you want something that makes you think, something so real your teeth ache? Watch this series. And then go see Generation Kill. Not pretty or fluffy, but so very true.

Thanks for the link, this actually made me tear up. And I haven't seen the Wire, but in the last few months the vast majority of my RL friends have discovered it and all of them have told me it is in fact the best TV show ever made, so I was planning to watch it soon. It is odd that this is the first time I have seen it mentioned online. I'll take that as a sign and finally watch it though.

I talk about it from time to time, but I don't really consider it a fannish show in the fandom sense, just a really really good TV show. I know of a few people on my flist who've seen it, and we all love it and talk bout it covertly.
