THEWIRE:BIG BROTHER

By Joseph Christopher Schaub

Abstract: HBO’s The Wire consistently showcases high-tech surveillance technology, but the show is really about the vulnerabilities of surveillance to particular forms of spectacle. This article focuses on The Wire’s fifth season, which critiques The Baltimore Sun for following a sensationalist story rather than serving as a responsible civic watchdog.

Keywords: narcissism, panopticon, reality TV, spectacle, surveillance, The Wire
