The Wire: Season 1, Episode 10.
S1E10 “And then he dropped the bracelets.” This is the episode where Kima gets shot. If you didn’t know that, you probably shouldn’t be reading this essay. And I’ll warn you right now, in two episodes, I’m going to start the essay by announcing the big thing that happens in that episode, and it’s the big thing that happens in this whole season, and it’s easily the single scene that transports The Wire from one of the best shows ever to pretty much the best show ever (with later seasons jumping its reputation even far beyond that). So if you’re reading ahead, slow down. Watch the damn show. You won&#

The Wire: Season 1, Episode 9.
S1E9 “Maybe we won.” Proposition Joe is an amazing character. The first time we meet him, he’s coaching the east side projects basketball team against Avon’s west siders. He’s wearing a suit – not the fancy, multi-button monstrosity you might expect from a stereotypical gangster, but something off the rack, mismatched, even. It’s modest and low-key, much like Joe himself. Avon gives him shit about it (and the fact that Joe is carrying around a clipboard, even though he has no idea how to draw up a play), and Joe’s calm and rational response is: “look the part, be the part.” In actuality, Joe does the opposite – he doe

CHAD Opens in Philly Tonight.
InterAct Theater’s production of The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity opens tonight. Today, I did an interview on WHYY, alongside Juan Pacheco (Mace) and Tony “Hitman” Stetson (wrestling consultant). It’s pretty awesome, I think.

The Wire: Season 1, Episode 8.
S1E8 “Come at the king, you best not miss.” Apologies for such a long gap between essays – the day job has turned into a day and night job over the last month and half or so. I’m back in Minneapolis now, so I’ll be diving right back into my coverage of the best show ever. I know people who’d argue that Seinfeld is the best show in the history of television. I’d strenuously object for a number of reasons (not the least of which is this Danny Hoch story). I often think of Sei
