    Just saw it tonight. Very interesting and while not directly connected to the Wire it does give a lot of back ground to what is going on in Philadelphia which would relate back to Baltimore.

    Louis came across as an imbecile... He seemed to be genuinley scared at some points and some of his questions gave the impression he was totally clueless... maybe he was...

    Even with that, I thought it was a good show and am looking forward to Jo'berg next week...

    Oh, and I love the fact that even in Philly, a man can keep a cow...

    I think it makes for better viewing. He's taking everything at face value. The lives some of these people lead are crazy and louis doesn't accept that it's gotta be that way just because they live in the ghetto. He may just be right too.

    Yeah that's his interviewing technique. He plays dumb, naive and innocent to put his interviewees at ease and asks seemingly simple question to provoke a philisophical answer. Good to watch.
