Very impressive! Once the title clicked for me, I was really hoping there’d be a reference to a DESK… one of my favorite scenes (I especially love how they keep cutting to Freamon).
I hit a wall pretty quickly trying to solve downs-only. Which is good, because then I got to experience the theme much better! I have watched the whole series twice but it’s been a while, so I didn’t know all the lines verbatim, but definitely got 95A without a problem (RIP Michael K. Williams).
Two tiny notes:
I didn’t think 19A was actually a word, but apparently the consensus is that it is, even if we are surprised! TIL.
Thanks for the feedback! It's been a few years since I watched it, too. I has tempted to have a 21 along the lines of SHEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIT, but decided against it :)
(Also RIP Lance Reddick and Reg E. Cathey (I waited in line at a museum in DC at the same time as him, just a little before he passed))
It might feel a little dated now, and the first couple episodes feel like a standard police procedural, but halfway through season 1 it gets really good. I still think it's one of the best shows ever. One of the first shows that I remember that really blurred lines between good/evil with pretty much every character. Amazing characters, great writing, and broad societal commentary. I think it probably still ranks as the most popular show to feature a predominantly Black cast and, if memory serves, also broke down barriers in terms of having primary characters who are LGBTQ... Don't wait any longer!
