We're either John Waters or The Wire. Don't get me wrong - I love them both and both do accurately present a part of the city. But not all of it. Some episodes of Homicide showed a little more diversity - not just the terribly depressing or the wildly quirky. I also agree with you - Krisse should check out Snoop. She was definitely didn't lack for authenticity. Chilling. I don’t know Boston, either, but I live in Baltimore and feel a little of the same way. We’re either John Waters or The Wire.

Some of the characters are real former drug lords and players of "the game." Tom - was that a movie? It's my second favorite childhood book, the first being "A Morning in Maine."

I especially love the rooms with the faux finished dirty wall look. I have never seen wall being dirty like that(and I have seen some dirty walls in my life). Film industry should get some truly ugly and realistic actors that can transform in to these characters. See French cinema (some of their most famous actors are not the attractive kind) and Finnish movies. Fat stomachs, ugly facial hair and crooked teeth that's reality. Good research would be the real police stories and the real murder documentaries usually reacted original sites. That's where you find the real deal.
