Simon is attached to write and executive produce the drama project, currently titled “The System.” Lily Thorne and Larissa MacFarquhar will also write and co-executive produce, with Kiese Laymon also attached to write. The project is based on a series of New Yorker articles written by MacFarquhar. The official description states that the show “will examine the foster care and child protective service systems from the viewpoint of family court judges and lawyers, as well as social workers, caretakers, mothers, and the children themselves, and will probe the risks and benefits of removing children from families of origin.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 That reminds me I never did watch The Wire. I should fix that. Is the streaming version in the original 4:3? I remember when the Blu-ray boxset of the series came out he was upset that HBO made it 16:9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 David Simon blocked me on Twitter because I called him a whiny baby when he was being a whiny baby about getting a speeding camera ticket in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 His latest miniseries, We Own This City, is also great. And for a long time now, I’ve wanted to go back and watch Homicide: Life on the Street, but it’s nearly impossible to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
