With The Wire, Simon cements his position as the best writer of crime drama working in television today, even edging out Shawn Ryan and his hugely talented staff on The Shield. Debuting the year after The Shield, the latter’s hurricane of an opening season left many in no doubt that this was the full stop on the genre, that hourlong police drama could develop no further. HBO clearly wanted a cop drama of their own, as it was one of the few genres not represented on their schedule, but The Shield had already utilised the high concept of “The Sopranos with cops”. It is to their credit that they went ahead and invested heavily in what is effectively a mini-series, rather than a guaranteed franchise, and gave Simon near-free reign to realise his vision. [...]
In contrast to episodic shows such as NYPD Blue and The Shield, where entire cases are compressed into an episode or two, and much of the entertainment comes from the sight of cops busting down doors, busting heads, and then solving the crime in the interrogation room (or these days in the forensics lab), with the occasional series arc or two, The Wire IS the arc. This decompressed storytelling provides a slow accumulation of detail allowing the viewers to get to know the characters, the world they live in, and the complexities of each, while shifting the emphasis in suspense away from the above incidents. As the series progresses, the real thrills come from evidence found, connections made, the essential pieces of the puzzle gradually pieced together by police working long, hard hours, giving prosecutors what they need to make cases.
Med andre ord, det er en serie, der tager sig god tid, fordi der ikke skal opklares en sag i hvert eneste afsnit. Og det bliver bare ikke bedre.
