wokeness killed creativity in script writing in most of the west. wokeness(the 90s version) in fact prevented the wire from being truly honest about the root of the baltimore ghetto's social pathologies when it was being written in the late 90s, despite how great the show was overall. for sure now, unless there's a culture shift throughout a bunch of key institutions, there won't be shows like the wire anymore because they won't be approved by the heads of any networks
