I hate movies, but I really enjoyed that one with the actor.

> Blond gritty human James Bond

I remember when it was announced that Daniel Craig was the next James Bond, people were up in arms because he was blonde and blue-eyed.

> Parkour on a hi-rise crane. Epic.

I love the part during the parkour chase when the villain slips through a high window and Bond simply bulldozes himself through the wall underneath while in pursuit.

> the guy who plays Omar

You put some respect on the late, great Michael K. Williams' name!!!

In all seriousness, I think The Wire is great because it's completely and utterly timeless. The themes it tackled 20 years ago are still hyper-relevant today and will (unfortunately) be relevant 20 years from now. The "Good guys" weren't really good and while evil, the "bad guys" all had varying degrees of humanity that shined through. I felt it was and is the most accurate depiction of these character types you'll ever see.
