but it’s been a while since I felt like I had the energy to dive into a TV show. The seasons stand alone though, right? I didn’t read through your post since you said it contained spoilers.

I’ve also read that “THE WIRE contains one of the most ancient and pernicious anti-Semitic stereotypes, the “Jewish Shyster”. This is Levy the crooked lawyer, referred to as “that Jew lawyer” in the show’s dialog. It is also filled with lots of extremely dysfunctional black people.”
