But I was just reading a david simon interview and he likened the wire to some of the great greek plays like oedipus and antigone, especially when it comes to characters like omar and mcnulty. He even said (paraphrasing here) that it was a Greek tragedy painted across a modern American city.<BR/><BR/>so my question to you pete: Do you see the wire as a realistic presentation of an inner American city or as a Greek tragedy?Adam Kowalskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155969028481925043noreply@blogger.com
