Once upon a pink-and-blue time, the issues of early parenthood were cast simply: bottles, burping and bedtime. What no one explored was the effect Baby would have on marriage. And work. And sex. And the mound of dishes growing in the kitchen sink. And the ability to juggle all of them in one day, much less in one lifetime. Suddenly, parenthood becomes power struggle, and few combatants are more candid about the toll it takes than Rob and Alex and the four other young couples who populate For Better, For Worse (377 pages....

His moral compass so endeared him to viewers that he long outlived the seven-episode arc his creators had originally planned for him. More than any other death on “The Wire,” Omar’s made us know the agony of caring for a murder victim—even one who, by all rights, had it coming....
