Lesson 4 : Case Study - The Wire




Yeah i know its the best show ever and every one loves it ..but why ?? We're Media Students we need to break it down an see what they done did wid dis here package, ya feel me. This aint Baltimore and the 5 0 aint comin but ya still gots ta get the re-up on dat Media Studies terminology ... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*!

Watch any episode of Season 4 and think about:

How is it similar / different to othe TVCDs you have seen ?

Describe the main character(s):

Summarise the Narratives:

What happens at the end? Are the problems resolved ?
