The Wire / Dexter

Having lost my computer to old age, I'm currently stuck watching movies and TV to kill time between shifts. Thanks to a friend at work (and through the magic of trade) I was able to get my hands on seasons 1 and 2 of Showtime's hit "Dexter". The show is based on a novel, and it's really quite intoxicating. I really love crime shows, having been raised in an NYPD Blue household, but this show completely twists it around.

Once I finished "Dexter", I decided to delve into "The Wire". "The Wire" is undoubtedly the realest show I've ever seen. It takes place in Baltimore, and having never lived in a gang-heavy city, it show's you not only how the police deal with city life, but how the drug dealing gang bangers do as well. The character Omar might be my favorite character of all time.
