Though technically TV show, and not a film, watching The Wire is as good as watching any film. It's gripping, intelligent and best of all black people love it. If you look closely at the above video for my favourite hip-hop song ever 'What We Do' by Freeway, you can see its stuffed full of stars from the show This video was filmed in 2003 roughly a year or so before white people thought The Wire was cool. In fact the video almost serves as a mini-episode of the show.
I started watching The Wire because it featured one of my all time favourite black people, Method Man.
Look! There he is hanging out with Proposition Joe.
