Welcome to taking back our corner is the officially unofficial podcast for

we own the city on HBO. I'm Jim

I'm Iran

and today we're talking about season one episode three

or episode three I keep calling it season one.

A. Ron, what do you think of this episode?

Uh, yeah, I mean I continue to like it. I think this is a cool, this is an interesting way to tell the story. Everything is so disconnected but interconnected and like I wonder if people at home who are maybe not playing as close attention to like the

flow of time is getting the full benefit of it.

But because I'm doing a podcast on it, I'm trying to pay attention. I think it's working really well it's showing that it's a multi-year process you

know like we didn't get the Wayne Jenkins final form at the end of last episode.

There's still like, you know, more he had to learn and fall.

Interesting dynamics between the different cops on the force.

And yeah, I liked it.

What did you think?

This show mostly just makes me mad. Yeah.

And I look at it and I go, boy, if I'm getting mad, how infuriating must it be for the people who actually have power and want to change this,

but can't, can't get the job done whether it's the

fucking musical chairs that they're playing with the political and law enforcement

officials here or you know just the entrenchment of the whole

system it's like ah like where do you start how do you attack this problem and I

I come away from these episodes going man this seems bleak and it seems impossible

And it's just like it's down to the complexity of the problem, right?
