Started to watch two new TV shows.
First is The Wire, which is about the criminals scene in Baltimore. It shows both perspectives, law enforcement and the gangsters and how the former try to combat the organised drug scene. I´m three episodes in and despite the age the show is really good so far. Great characters, fascinating setting and an intriguing storyline.
The second one is the seven-part HBO show John Adams, which is based on the historical character with the same name and is set in Massachusetts, during the times of the American Revolution. It describes how the revolutions started and how the colonies became the United States. Very well done, with great actors and a very authentic feel. Finished two episodes so far and fortunately it doesn´t feel like some uber-patriotic wank-fest, but tries to paint an accurate picture of the time and the events.
