If you haven't watched all 5 seasons of HBO's The Wire yet, you should probably put life on hold and go start. I'm confident you'll learn more in those 60 hours than you would in a year of grad school. Not just is this the best television series ever created, but I'm confident it's going to go down in history as the 'War and Peace' of our time.
Think I'm overstating things, well they're teaching The Wire at Harvard now.
If that article isn't enough, here's a podcast episode of Bill Moyer's Journal interviewing the producer of The Wire, David Simon.
Listen now, or download it on itunes. The itunes release date was 4/17/09.
