The Wire has long been heralded as a smarter cop show, but is it even really about the police or is it about systems, power, and money?

This video is the longest thing I've ever made and I really, really hope you like it. It was a long journey to get to a place where I felt like I could publish it (and to be honest, I still feel like it could use some polish since that's just the editor in me). I hope it makes sense and isn't just 37 minutes of me gushing about The Wire.

As always, I want to know what you think! Planning on going fully public with it later this week, for now, it's just for you all :)
