- Quotes
Maj. Stanislaus 'Stan' Valchek: [to Herc, laughing about the oral sex incident between Mayor Royce and his secretary] What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes right now! Kid, careers have been launched on a helluva lot less. Just shut up and play dumb.

How a daily eventuality causes the concretion of a whole political plot; how a negligent former detective and a former drug addict cross their redemption in a school, now as a teacher and a tutor; how a letter waits patiently for stations to enter the game, how the background of an old and forgotten friend McNulty feels so organic and plausible, how death and crime and drug trafficking and corruption and kindness and empathy and indifference and love are still truly present, making everything significant to the extent that those who live want to be. It's like this, life is like that, not big closing acts, not dramatic twists, not total answers; life is all the big and small Baltimore stories, life is everyone's constant trivial battle: life is The Wire. That is the premise that at this point I can not deny myself to confirm, that since the end of season three I began to suspect as indisputable: The Wire is the best television series ever made. The Wire is the cuspid of audiovisual narrative, yesterday and today.
