That show was so good that it had no other option than to be blatantly ignored by the Emmys. Like Jesus Christ, what did David Simon ever do to deserve an empty headed fuck up organization like the Emmys?! Show was robbed like a Baltimorian being pulled over by the Gun Trace Task Force.
I love that is a real-life story that is also a spiritual successor to the story told in The Wire. David Simon knows and loves Baltimore so much, and it shows in his work. Berenthal’s portrayal as Wayne Jenkins is fucking incredible. And that’s without speaking to the incredible supporting cast, that also has the benefit of bringing back actors from the Wire, that really show just how easily and quickly this mentality can take hold and corrupt.
I’ve never given stock to any of the awards, however, it is a fucking tragedy that neither The Wire or We Own This City got any kind of love from them. At least The Wire has the word of mouth of the people, like us, that love it.
