So I don't watch much TV but do like to get myself a DVD series when I hear about something good.

I'm sure many of you have watched the Wire, and I'd imagine if you're an American, you probably liked it (and even if you aren't you probably still liked it). I was surprised when a friend informed me that The Wire was actually heavily based off of an HBO Original Mini-Series from 2000 titled "The Corner", based off of this book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corn...he_Life_of_an_Inner-City_Neighborhood

Of course, Reading books is sooo 1980's so I didn't bother with that and ordered the DVD.



It came in last night and I watched the first episode just a few hours ago. Judging from the first episode, I would highly recommend checking out this series. I went over to some websites and people are pretty torn over whether or not they like The Wire or The Corner better. I think The Corner is a lot more involved of a story, as they basically crammed everything going on in The Wire into six one-hour episodes, and due to this intensity I think I slightly favour it thus far. It's production style is definitely very 90's-ish which is really the only negative I can draw out at this time (and maybe some iffy acting, but not horrible by any means).

If you were a fan of the wire, I'd highly recommend checking this DVD out, got if for $18 on Amazon.
