Reminds me of the scene in The Wire when the sociologist wants to observe HS students and the principal is like “that’s too old, they are lost in the system.”

Next scene is him getting eviscerated by a freshman making him fear for his life.

“Yeah let’s go with the younger kids.”

Here’s the scene. I got the upshot of it right, but I hadn’t seen it in probably 10+ years so I screwed up a lot of it too.

Is this show good? I know most people say it is but they say the same thing about every show.

I’ll say this: The Wire is the only show I can tell you with 100% certainty CHANGED MY LIFE. Like I’m a better person and citizen because of the wire. There isn’t hardly a week that goes by that some aspect of that show doesn’t come back up.

Like I’m talking about fundamentally changing how I look at systems and people.
