What's up guys Rachel and T here and I am teeming up with your favorite ranger podcasters to deliver the bravo drama and news that you've been craving on morally corrupt.

It's the show about all things bravo from the house wise to summer house and everything in between will be mentioning it all every week check it out on spotify and the ranger dot com.

I'm

in sports have to clear

and

stand up and walk now. Hello and welcome to the watch my name is Chris Ryan I am an editor at the ranger dot com and joining me on the other line.

Yes sir. It's Andy. Oh, oh, what's up Andy. It's a very special episode of the watch. It's Monday. I hope everybody's enjoying their long weekend.

But we wanted to make sure that we got after this we own the city series finale. It's probably collectively me and Andy's favorite show of the year so far and to celebrate it.

We have George Pelicanos the one of the creators and showrunners the showrunner of the series and it's George's fourth time on the watch.

He's one of our favorite writers. Obviously it's done tremendous work on the wire and the do's.

But is one of our favorite crime novelists over the last couple of decades and it's the sweet forever remains maybe one of our formative texts. Yeah, absolutely.

I don't know you want to talk a little bit about the show. I mean, we talked to George for nearly an hour and we hit almost every major

facet of the show including the finale. But if you wanted to share a couple of thoughts, let's go for it. Well, yeah, I think the thing about the show that I found so striking at the end was both how it managed to do two things at once.

It and it returned us to not just a city, but a style of storytelling that we have been missing since the wire. Right. We were back on the streets of Baltimore.

We're both sides of both sides of the crime ball or full in effect on the show and sometimes in some surprising ways.

But also more than just the setting and some very familiar faces. Simon and Pelicanos's ability to tell a story as diffuses this as aggressive as this as wide as this.

But with such a laser sharp focus that you feel you are learning as much as possible about something that is still fundamentally unknowable.

I mean, like the wire we own the city as a show about systemic corruption, systemic problems.

And it tells a story that has no solution with their trademark mix of kind of like hopelessness and joy somehow.

These people are alive despite circumstances, despite monstrous acts and despite monstrous context.

I found though this series to be so rewarding because of its, I guess it's brevity.

I mean, it's hard to say that it's it's brief considering every episode of the six is packed like five nine minutes.
