The Wire was an awesome show, probably one of the best I've ever seen.

Some characters, like Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, were casted right from the streets.

Highly recommended to get a less romanticized view of the streets.

Snoop's story is tragically sad, but also inspirational as she did get out of the cycle of violence.

Yes. I actually bought and read the book because her character was so moving. Turns out it's just her whole person.
