Dick Wolf can't be tamed. He'll rehash the same format over and over and ppl love it. Same as many shows. Like Walking Dead, everyone raving to me about it. I just said "lemme guess, it's not about zombies".

A lot. A lot of underground, progressive, and Christian hip hop. Don't sleep on their skills. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Lauryn Hill, Digable Planets, De la Soul, Cross Movement rappers.

Yeah, The Wire is still a show I always recommend. It's just different, like you pointed out. It's more than the great, more than the great characters. It's the city, the experiment, life, America. The show holds a mirror to your face , or America, many times. It's a masterpiece for me. I mean there's a reason they now study the show in sociology classes in college.

Yeah notice how scenes can drag in in older movies. You were in the scene longer. As an above poster mentioned, camera cuts. Like I remember years ago stoned with friends watching Seinfeld shows on weekends off and analyzing the evolution of the directing and lines, scenes. Later seasons are so fast paced, dialogue seems rushed, jokes are snappy on point. Or the horrible story lines of Kung Fu movies. Lol
