The missus and I have been revisiting the show a couple of episodes a day. I have to say it has aged amazingly well which is normal when you have great actors working with a fantastic script.
But could it be done again in this day and age? No way. It would be strangled in its sleep after the second episode. Too much political reality could lead to people actually think for themselves and question policies.
Ane when we are done with Homicide, we will probably revisit its descendant: The Wire.
