I Drank the Kool-Aid

It's no big surprise that I've become a rabid fan of HBO's The Wire. I'm a sucker for hype, and I love not-so-subtle creative statements on how effed-up our country is.

Sinister Joe and I watched the entire first season in a weekend, and we're already 2 episodes into Season 2. I've also loaded up my Netflix queue with Wire discs all the way through the final episode of Season 3. That's close to 30 hours of television - and I bet we'll knock it out before February. Seriously, I haven't been this into a show since my dad, brother, and I watched MacGuyver every week.
