The Bronx is Burning

All these years later on, I'd forgotten just how good the short ESPN series The Bronx in Burning was. On one hand you roll your eyes and wonder why ESPN even bothered to pretend tying in the Summer of Sam/mayoral election - we understand you're a sport channel, why not just do a series on that Yankees team? Obviously they felt there was enough source material since the Yankees, unlike the very-evenly-divided-amongst-its-3-subjects book, took up about 98% of the show.

And it's great! What a cast 🤗 (though I shit on the "oh REALLY?" soundtrack when it came out in 2007).
