    This is true for the majority of people though.  This is human nature.  All of us have said and done stupid things in our 20s but it never used to be on social media forever.     “Cancelling” f

"We Own This City", Baltimore, David Simon, corrupt police and politicians, drugs, money and guns, a few familiar faces from the Wire, well done and well worth watching.

I've got a buddy that's really into this show....says Berenthal is outstanding. It's on my list that I've gotta get to.

As someone who has watched The Wire four times through, I can't wait to watch We Own This City. I was waiting until all the episodes were out. 

You will love it.

    This series isn't as broad as the Wire, it seems to be focussed mostly on the Police perspective, the criminal element are bit players and carry no weight.  I can't see it running for more than a season or two as it's telling a very specific story.  In some ways I think it's a reaction to the BLM movement, they have the Office of Civil Rights represented in the storyline for show, but in Baltimore, there are no solutions and nobody ever wins, they just keep shuffling the deck.

    It's based on a book, so yeah I don't think it's intended as a long running series.  I'm interested in checking out the book now though as it's a non-fiction best seller by a Baltimore reporter.  I want to see how close the show is to the true story.

    I thought that Blue Bloods had that market covered.

    at least the developers are making their own decisions, I would hate to see other streaming services go to hell like Netflix has (poor cancellation decisions, jacking the price)

    speaking of netflix

     

    Caught the last Norm MacDonald special called "Nothing Special" on Netflix, filmed the day before he died in surgery, it's fascinating and haunting to watch considering the circumstances, and it's apparent he was very vital and would still be with us had the surgery gone well.  Norm did not fade away.  Followed up with a panel discussion with Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Conan O'Brien, and Molly Shannon, well worth the watch and countless re-watching.

    Here is the trailer.

    well this is fantastic news, I actually spent quite a bit of time on the site last summer watching the Surreal Life (I had to use a VPN though) wish it had all the episodes though they didn't have the Dirty Laundry episode of season 4

    Moving Young Rock to Friday seems like a kick in the nuts for that show, which I enjoy (lots of great 90s wrasslin' stuff...)
