Stats

Much like statistics play a big part in The Wire, they also play a big part in today's society. In the show the wire, statistics are what the police force seem to live by, statistics on drugs, statistics on murders, it's all there. What they don't see are the real people and situations behind these numbers. This relates back to our society too, statistics can sometimes determine the face of a city, high statistics of crime can be a set back to a city, without seeing what lies beyond, all the good things and efforts a city can offer, much like West Baltimore

Finishing "The Wire"

We have now finished the final episode of 'The Wire' Upon finishing the season my views on certain aspects of the series has changed. At the start I was a bit confused as to what was going on other than drug deals and police raids, coming the end I was still a little confused but but have the general idea and details, and came to know the various themes. Overall I fouind this series to be very thought provoking and has opened my eyes to see what's beneath the surface, to find the hidden meanings
