Everyone knows The Wire is the best show in the history of television. It’s so good, I wish I could erase my memories of it so I could have the pleasure of watching it again for the first time. Since I can’t do that, unexpected pleasures like this video essay on the visual style of the show are a real treat.
Here’s Erlend Lavik, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Science and Media studies at Norway’s University of Bergen, discussing some of the techniques used in framing and filming our favorite show.
And for those stubborn few who deny themselves the pleasure of the best show ever, the montage that ended Season 2.
Awesome.
