The Wire

I don't know if it was the drama of the last five minutes of the Superbowl or the subsequent dog biting incident, but the Wire left me very unsatisfied last night.

I thought it was very poorly directed. The scene with Bunk and Amy Adams in uber close up mode? What the hell was the guy thinking? The handheld scenes didn't work for me...and then a writing moment when all of a sudden one the characters turns into Batman. What the?
