David Simon's writeup of the process of transforming The Wire from 4:3 to 16:9 is a joy to read: https://davidsimon.com/the-wire-hd-with-videos/ https://davidsimon.com/the-wire-hd-with-videos/ Amusingly (if that's the word) this updated version of the writeup, with embedded videos illustrating Simon's points, no longer has the embedded videos because there were somehow flagged by youtube or hidden by HBO. Still worth the read.
