It seems that Vice magazine really wanted to drive a stake through my heart on Wednesday. The Wire Season Six
Vice not only tips its hat to The Wire but also raises an interesting point. Could the show accomplish what it has if it were set in the UK?
The best part is this line:
“Well time’s moved on since Season Five and drug dealers no longer use mobile phones to run their empires. I heard they’re going to be monitoring character’s Twitters, Bebo and Facebook accounts and stuff like that. They also want to make the show more interactive and so there’s talk of the public being able to text in plot suggestions and even ideas for music to put on the soundtrack.”
Vice needs to learn a thing or two about diegetic music.
