THE reWIREd: The Pager

Five episodes into The Wire and the scene has been set. We know what we are watching here. Cops trying to catch drug dealers. The good guys versus the bad.

Things in The Wire though are not that simple. There are shades of bad in the good cops. And shades of good in the bad-ass drug dealers.

Throughout the series we will see the entire string of emotions, and different definitions of what it means to be a victim of circumstance. We will see that even the most evil or lost in the show has shades of good. And we see that even the toughest of characters are scared of something; be it the four walls of a prison cell or life itself, everyone in The Wire is scared of something!
