Well, probably my favorite TV show ever, THE WIRE, had its finale last night. It was an extremely satisfying coda for the show, at times uplifting, at times utterly heartbreaking, but always rewarding. I really don't want to say too much about it, both because I don't want to unintentionally spoil anything for any of my friends who have yet to take my sage advice and start watching the damn thing , and because I feel like others have already said
anything I would say and
said it better (That said, I would
love to hear what the rest of you have to say about it, so please, comment away!). Suffice to say, it was a hell of lot better than
that other finale, the "brilliance" of which I still have yet to discover.
Anyway, I just really wanted to say something about this great show, and tie it into the blog in some way. Unfortunately, about the only aspect from THE WIRE that fits alongside my artistic sensibilities is probably Nick Sobatka's girlfriend Aimee from Season Two (remember her? And those?). So, here's all I got...a little sketch of the lovely Beadie Russell (played by Amy Ryan), doodled while watching the aforementioned Season Two for the third time.

You know full well that you could draw an awesome Theresa D'agostino, she was the political consultant that worked for Carcetti and "dated" Mcnulty.
Ohhh, that's right! I forgot about her. I can think of one scene in particular...
You stumped me on "Amiee," so I looked it up. The actress' name is Kristin Proctor. Yeah, I barely remember her. Like I said on Lurid, great show. It'll be missed. Loved how insanely smart it was and how it refused to cater to the viewer.
