Atomic Reading Club 2023 - Outer Limits
Our theme this year is Outer Limits (as in "the outer limits of human belief"). It's like an X-files year! Or an In Search Of year. It's not about the supernatural but more like the paranormal, or the cultural history of investigations into the nature of such things. UFOs but not sci-fi. Not ghost stories but ghost hunting. Cryptids, not mythological creatures. What is real? What is nature? What is in the wild out there? In the universe? Why do we think there's something more out there? Things that exist at the very outer limits of human belief.

plus, i mean, its clearly the best television show ever made.
I don't think anyone in Baltimore watches The Wire. I mean, except like, 7 of us. Ok, maybe 14.

Those are quite the boots to fill.
Also, seems like there's a lot of anti-The Wire feelings in the city, especially from people who don't actually watch the show or care to watch because anything relating Baltimore to drugs with a predominantly black cast is "bad".
We know the Mayor doesn't love it!
