  • Show me a hero

    Not sure if anyone has seen this on HBO. Not very publicized (from what I can tell), but it's excellent.

    Co-written by David Simon and Wire fans should enjoy it based on writing alone. Gives a good look into local politics that I'd rate as at least fairly close to the real thing.

    Have it on the DVR. Hoping to get to it soon.

      Not fairly close, that was the real thing

      True story.

      How sad it was for Nick in the end.

      I wonder if Zaleski is getting many calls at his upstate law practice after it was shown what an asshole he was when mayor.

        I guess I should say, local politics in general. I was too young for that. But Simon is very good at getting it right. I was meeting with a few Trenton cops who said the Wire is the closest TV has ever gotten to real police work.
