The Wire

I really ought to have bookended each binged season of the universally lauded series with an episode of Police Squad!, because then I might have made it through the last. Because the best way to get past the reality that human beings suck, and the world is run by the worst of us, is by laughing it off.

I wonder, was Peter Lupus’ Norberg character one of the first to be African-AmericanizedColbert’s definition of “blackwashing” probably doesn’t describe the same practice—for newer audiences, like the 2015 Johnny Storm, movie Ford Prefect, Iris West on the Flash and Will Smith as James West (and soon, Deadshot). If early cancellation also must befall Constantine, then I hope it follows the same course with a successful film trilogy. There are already Blacks in the cast, too.
