David Simon’s 3 part “Show Me a Hero” is outstanding. And yes it’s just like season 4 of the wire but about housing.

Winstone is a great British actor (nil by mouth, sexy beast, the war zone) but this would’ve been abysmal because he is terrible at accents. He pulled out because he didn’t want his kids living in American culture for a long period of time which I mean, fair, but the UK is arguably worse. But yea that Boston accent in the Departed was horrific.

When the Frotcast reviewed the show, they found a lot more enjoyment appreciating the show as a workplace comedy and clash of personalities than the social commentary.

As bad as Dominic wests accent is throughout the show knowing the first choice for McNulty was Ray Winston makes me wonder of the incredible mutant bmore /American accent he would have brought
