'The Wire': Way Down in the Hole

Two of my absolute Favorites in the World The Great Van Lathan and The Incomparable Jemele Hill break The Greatest TV Show in history down like an M16-A2. This is structured and formatted innovative and fittingly. And a they both give depth and breath not only into The Wire, but their lives and experiences as well. Love it! Well Done!

I’ve watched The Wire many times and even for me it’s too many spoilers (many from Van Latha ). Listening to “The Cost” and not only does Van feel the need to over explain an obvious point about about character death’s, but the dude goes on to give needless examples involving 2 major deaths in 2 of the other biggest shows in TV history, needlessly spoiling up to 3 potential series in a since segment of an episode. My god, Van. Shame on you brother, SHAME. SMFH.

I recently found this podcast and I am truly happy I have. The analysis of each episode and character breakdown is top notch. The perspective I have for people living in these situations in real life has changed based on their insight. I am thankful for the education you are giving me on both the show and real life.

Must of been Scraping the bottom of the barrel when they asked Hill to co-host this show about one of the greatest TV show of all time. She damages everything she touches, this pod could of been so much better!
