- Good show marred by woke
I enjoy the show a lot, and the hosts are very good, but man sometimes they get deep down in that politically correct morass. Their very one-sided approach sometimes makes the show a little cringey.

Apple Podcasts5Heemie manUnited Statesa month ago - Great coverage of a great show
I watched the wire several years ago, not when it aired but shortly after. I’m one who thinks this is possibly the best show ever, and if not definitely in the top three. I’m really enjoying your coverage. It’s a great mix of someone who has obviously seen and loved the show for years and someone who is seeing it for the first time. You guys are doing a great job and I really appreciate it. You’re doing this amazing show justice. And that’s a significant achievement.
Apple Podcasts5Caper127United States8 months ago - Good spoiler-free recap
I’m on my first rewatch of this brilliant series, and this is a great companion podcast. Even though I’ve seen The Wire once before, it’s been a while so I appreciate that there are no spoilers whatsoever. Also, the hosts stay on topic, which is fantastic. Lastly, I love the soundbites sprinkled throughout the episodes. Definitely plan to keep listening!
