Binging Season 1 of The Wire... Idris hasn't topped Stringer Bell yet

[Tony D'Amato]

And he never will

How did this shyt not win awards

 

[Saiyajin]

greatest show ever

 

[sayyestothis]

Yessssir

 

[AnonymityX1000]

He did a great Nelson Mandela.
The same reason Straight Out ta Compton didn't win any Oscars.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Wasn't bad in Pacific Rim imo.

 

[steadyrighteous]

He was also excellent in Beasts...

 

[Apollo Kid]

Luther is up there too but you're right Stringer was his best role.

 

[steadyrighteous]

Luther is up there too but you're right Stringer was his best role.

And Luther too, yeah. He was genuinely toeing the line between unhinged, full of rage and competent detective in that show in a way that I don't think many could.

Idris is just good, breh. Like every actor he has some performances, but in general he delivers.

 

[ChemicalBk]

false luther and beast of no nation performances from him carried everything

 

[Gentility]

And he never will

How did this shyt not win awards

Cause it spent its entire run in the shadow of The Sopranos.

 

[kingdarius]

I like his character of luther more but thats just me

Cause it spent its entire run in the shadow of racist italian cacs and we all know how much award reviewers like that

fixed

 

[Black Ball]

He killed it in Beasts...

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Did he sound British in Luther? Then fukk no it ain seein no damn Stringer Bell. Kill yaselves

 

[the cac mamba]

Cause it spent its entire run in the shadow of The Sopranos.

was it ever sopranos at 9 and the wire at 10? imagine tuning into that season on sundays

 

[newarkhiphop]

And he never will

How did this shyt not win awards

I was just talking about this the other day, the wire was too ahead of its time, if it had only dropped 2013+ it would get much more acclaim than it does now
