THE POSTMODERN INSTITUTIONS ... THOSE ARE THE INDIFFERENT GODS: The New Yorker's Margaret Talbot profiles The Wire and its creator, David Simon, who says about the show: “It is perhaps the only storytelling on television that overtly suggests that our political and economic and social constructs are no longer viable, that our leadership has failed us relentlessly, and that no, we are not going to be all right."
(Yeah, I know, I really need to start watching from episode one, and have no excuse.)
