>The Tony winner recently explained why the HBO show, which ran for five seasons from 2002 to ’08, does not warrant a reboot as the show’s societal themes are “demonstrated today” in real time.
>“The Wire is something that is classic,” he told Collider. “What makes it classic [is] it speaks to, it spoke to the audience then, it speaks to us now, it will speak to audiences long after it’s over.”
>Explaining that the David Simon-created series about the police and drug dealers of Baltimore was “the cautionary tale that it was, the fact that it lets people know there’s an ugly side of human nature,” Pierce noted, “We’re seeing that demonstrated today.”
>“I mean as we stand here on wonderful beautiful Hollywood Boulevard, they have American secret police who raided MacArthur Park today with guns drawn on citizens for no reason,” he said.
>“That’s a dangerous thing,” added Pierce. “That’s why The Wire is so poignant. It was a canary in the mine then and it’s a canary in the mine now. What kind of society do we want to be a part of?”
One day, while waiting for a haircut, I asked the elderly man next me of his thoughts on all of these sequels.
He told me, “ back in the 1970’s, every summer it was another Batman movie, western or Frankenstein, Dracula & The Mummy, that would be promoted for Halloween.
It’s a money problem. When we all buy into something, it gets popular, gets a lot of Advertisement attention and then like all good things, has to end.
Someone sees that happen and just wants to make money again.
