The cinematic, Scorsese-directed pilot lifted the bar awfully high; can subsequent directors keep up the standard?
HBO's The Wire was more than just a simple cops-and-robbers procedural. Just about everyone who has watched it -- including the most powerful man in the world, Mr. Barack Obama -- raves about the way it fearlessly depicts modern society in an urban setting. But one thing that sometimes gets lost in the praises are the performances of the actors who brought these thugs and shields to life.
