Customer Reviews
Fantastic
For my money, The Wire is the best show in the history of television and David Simon is one of the most brilliant men working in the medium. It hurts most shows to see behing the curtin but in the case of the Wire it can't, because the Wire conceals nothing. Listening to Simon's insights into the show he created is nothing short of facinating. If you are at all interested in hearing about American crime and television, this audiobook is for you.
