"The Wire," Season Four

OK, this doesn't have anything to do with estate planning or probate, but "The Wire" starts its fourth season on HBO this Sunday (check local listings).  As critic Diane Werts once put it, "Most TV crime series aspire to John Grisham's level.  'The Wire' aspires to Dostoyevsky's."  I think this is the best show currently on TV, maybe one of the best TV shows ever, with its complex depiction of the interplay between police, drug dealers, politicians, and -- this year -- the educational system.  It looks like this season will be just as good as the last three.  Here's Maureen Ryan in this morning's Chicago Tribune:

If you have only one hour a week for television, give it to "The Wire."

Even if you think you don't have time for television, find an hour a week to watch the fourth season of "The Wire."  It's a masterpiece.
