THE WIRE. Oy. And you know the fourth season is the best, anyway! I was trying to convince my cousin to watch it, and she was like, "eh, cops." Of course I tried to tell her differently, but it's like trying to tell lj people to come to dw: they've heard it so many times they stop listening. BUT then she found out about Hamsterdam and she was like WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME. This is because she works in public health/epidemiology fields and she's very interested in that sort of experiment, except I believe she does not know of any similar examples. I'll ask her. Also, I wrote a book on The Wire! It's here. I don't actually rec it that highly though--written on a deadline; I was asked to write it. It was weird.

I agree with above commenters: Farscape is pretty cool. I did stop watching eventually because some characters I liked went away and new ones came of whom I was not that fond. But I agree with the above: season 1 is great once you get past some of the initial stuff. And Aeryn Sun! Gah!

Also, hi! I had taken you off the reading list ages ago because we were into different things, but when I saw you out and about Avengers fandom I looked at your art and realized how much I'd missed it. I took you off in a craze of keeping the list down to people who were in the same fandoms and now that feels like such a rash decision. I love your art and I love your recs and you have a first-rate brain, so hi :o)
