Sandra Bullock probably agrees The Wireis the best drama since the turn of the century, but that’s only because she’s not currently on a television show, which she wouldn’t even choose because she has more humility than you or anyone or God/Goddess (or whatever the Divine Whatever-Whosit’s name is).
