Tristan Wilds played Michael Lee on The Wire, which I consider to be the greatest TV drama ever. Jessica Walter played Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development, which I consider to be the greatest TV comedy ever.
They both star in “90210”, which is the remake/reboot of “Beverley Hills 90210”. I have so many smart-ass things to say, but I’m practicing my self-control.
Note: I wanted to center the “before” and “after” text on the images, but that would have hidden Michael’s new pants.

You’re privileged to see another way of being. And if you’re interested in that, you have a dire obligation to make that as real as possible and to give the details for viewers to begin to see how this is shaped, why it’s shaped that way, why people act the way they do.
