<p>TV's</a> 'The Wire' Gets New Life In College Classrooms : NPR</p>
<p>That's seriously cool.</p>
<p>The Wire is one of the two greatest shows of the decade. 
</p>
<p>Rather have a class on The Sopranos. Way better show.</p>
<p>ha. my Micro Econ professor used The Wire to explain concepts</p>
<p>Oh my god i was thinking about this while watching for the second time. Way more stuff to analyze in The Wire than in a few of my AP English books.</p>

<p>This guy’s analyzed The Wire a lot, not a real course but a good place to start.</p>
<p>There was a good article in Playboy about how these courses on the wire are ********. The Wire was made for entertainment; it isn’t a documentary. The “drug war” is so much more complicated than how it is depicted in the show.</p>

<p>The creator of the show disagrees, not that it’s a documentary, but it’s definitely not “just entertainment”</p>
