The Wire

[logovo1]

Lo más curioso de ver The Wire (temporada 1) es que los intentos de "grit" y mostrar las cosas como son se quedan cortas. Los actores siempre se miran sanos y nadie parece necesitar un dermatólogo o un dentista.

Excepto "Bubs". Ese si parece lo recogieron de la calle y le dieron una limpiadita antes de ponerlo ante la camara.

The Wire es una serie en la HBO que inicia su 5ta y ultima temporada en un mes. Estoy tratando de ponerme al día, lo cual es fácil con lo adictiva que se esta mostrando. Pero no tiene el sabor a fandom.

La teoría común es que si un programa esta escrito, actuado y dirigido al más alto nivel, pues un fandom es superfluo. Es cuando la calidad supera la imaginación del publico y estar "pasivamente" consumiendo rinde tanto que fic no brota a llenar huecos.

Ignores everything and hugs Christian Bale icons of Sra. Logovo.

Also, I plan on trying out the Wire sometime next year after I've caught up on about 7 other series, oy!! It was made partially by the Homicide Life on the Streets people.

It has that feel, only the writing is *gulp* better!

I'm pretty amazed this hasn't gotten more people hooked.

Interesting. I keep on hearing raves about this show, so it's great that you point out those little things cut out.

But yeah, I want to see it someday, but it doesn't strike me as the type of show to inspire fandom. Fannish devotion in some, maybe, but never fandom.

Seriously amazing TV. Three people, 2 of them friends, have described as "better than a book" and I get why they say so. Multilayered, subtle, trusting in the audience to keep up, this is better than the best that HBO or any other cable network has offered.

Oh, and it has been described on NPR as Law & Order for cable. Except for having neither law or order.

Cierto, Battlestar Galactica no empezo a producir fic hasta que empezo a hacer agua.
