“What Edward Gibbon was to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, or Charles Dickens to the smokey, mean streets of Victorian London, David Simon is to America today.”

-Bill Moyers

Probably the best and most accurate praise of The Wire by one of the best and most reliable sources.

I mean damn Bill Moyers, that’s some heavy shit

You just called David Simon (much deservedly) a talent paralleled to Charles Dickens.
