As a complete surprise, my beloved wife signed me up for rich man’s T.V. (HBO) so I spent the weekend watching the series John Adams and the final season of the best darn show T.V. has to offer: The Wire ~ a great present day Baltimore police drama.
Becuase Season Five of the Wire was about to expire in two days from its posting on On Demand, my fellow Wire enthusiast and myself spent roughly eleven hours in front of the T.V. Saturday watching in glee back to back episodes of the final season. We started at one thirty in the afternoon and finished watching the show around midnight. Great season! I won’t go into details about the show, but it was a great ending to a great cop drama and I especially enjoyed the way the director focused on the newspaper the Baltimore Sun. The Bunk, Omar Little, Bubbles and salty McNaulty will be missed. (Oh and I don’t recommend anyone sitting in front of a T.V. for almost 12 hours. You start to twitch after the fifth hour.)
On another note, I also completed the final season of my other favorite show: Jericho. Great ending to a show that got so little respect. I absolutely loved the idea that there was an Independent Republic of Texas.
Now what am I going to do with all my free time?
