I was mentally composing a post about Dukie's new home among the Arabers, their connection with Homicide in the first episodes of Season 1 and such ... but when I got around to posting, you guys had beaten me to the punch!
Sleuth has been running 'Homicide' again, and I've been watching all those episodes I missed when I was working too long hours to see 'em first run. What Simon learned from Barry Levinson (in all the best possible ways) is really striking, though the Wire far exceeded anything in that show.
Just the same, my helpful suggestion: Homicide reruns are the perfect methadone for when we have to kick the Wire after next week!
