The Wire and Reality

Nathan St. Eutychus posts a video about Baltimore’s Police Commissioner giving his view on the TV show The Wire:

Fair point.  After all if there was an extended (popular) show about (the reality) of abuse in the Anglican Church I would be putting my hand up, passionately, and say “Hang on! There’s more to it than that, show the good stuff too!”

But then, sometimes reality hurts, and helps.  After all (and I can’t find a reference to it at the moment) I only started watching The Wire after I saw a documentary on how it was being used in Baltimore by social workers to successfully engage with those whose world was being depicted.
