The Wire and legalization

HBO ran all 5 seasons of the Wire in 5 days. I recorded them and have been re-watching the show at a leisurely pace. Season 3 had the plot line with Major Colvin, Hamsterdam, and drug legalization. That was in 2004 and ten years later pot is legal in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska.

Obama is right, it's one of the best shows ever on television and Omar Little is probably my favorite character too although there are a lot of good characters. The creators of Game of Thrones explicitly said they modeled their vast canvas on The Wire.
