Show Me A Hero

[HereComeTheCats]

This miniseries has everything 4.6 loves. A connection to The Wire, racial protest, NIMBY citizens and a heavy dose of Springsteen.

I think Parts 1 & 2 last night were great. My favorite part is playing "Spot the Wire Alumni." Last night, I spotted Levy, Orlando and Brother Mouzone.

It's amazing that something like this actually happened in real life. A federal judge threatening to bankrupt a city with fines and throwing council members in jail for contempt of court.

Glad to see Winona Ryder was still alive.

I missed it - what was the Springsteen connection?

The whole soundtrack is Bruce. Give it a Name is the opening theme song. Last night also had Hungry Heart, Ramrod and All That Heaven Will Allow

Also, one of the NAACP's lawyers was an advisor to the mayor'sodfice in the Wire.

You got some Sopranos featured too. The guy who sells Tony the beach house and then won't give him his money back. Also, the councilman that Tony beat with the belt is the guy behind the housing project.

To me, he'll always be Boone from Animal House.

Just realized the judge is the NBC Exec in Seinfeld that asks George, "Did you get a good look Constanza?"

Completely miscast the Dominican woman.

Solid effort again last night. Heard Cadillac Ranch, 10th Avenue Freeze Out, Secret Garden (which should be bullshit, because it came out after this period drama takes place).

Nammond Brice, that bitch, was the social worker.

Kima's partner (the woman not McNulty) made an appearance this week, too.

Yes, small part, but good catch.
