Brehs, Just Finished The Wire For the First Time

[Peak]

Haven't watched season 4 in ages but one thing that still bothers me is how Bubbles managed to get off for killing Sherrod.

very profound observation


snoop was really bout that life

The actress best known for her role on HBO’s "The Wire" pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy to distribute heroin.

Snoop is Snoop in real life. Kenard, on the other hand...



I've seen seasons 1-4 nine times over the years. Partly because I had an HBO connect way back when and used to get the show ahead of time, then put my peoples on. So I sat through all the seasons with mad different people.

Anyway, after all those viewings, some characters and plotlines definitely hold up better than others.

Favorite characters after multiple viewings:

Avon, Bunk, Bodie, Landsman, Lester, Bunny, Slim Charles, Bey. In no order. Wood Harris owns almost every scene he's in.

Least favorite:

Kima's girlfriend, all of Omar's boyfriends, Cheese, Ziggy, Bernard and Squeak.

Burrell, Clay Davis, and Brother Mouzone get cornier with each viewing.

Only seen Season 5 once, I refuse to go back to it.

Only AFTER watching the series for the first time did I go online and learn about the negative attitude towards Season 2 and to be honest I was kinda shocked cause the thought never even entered my head as I was watchin it. Not once did Season 2 ever feel like a "weak" season. I loved the shyt with the docks, the union workers, all of it. I loved the story.

The biggest mark against it would have to be Ziggy. The character was written just fine but the actor playing him was terrible and he was more annoying than pitiful. And he had A LOT of screen time. Sometimes I couldn't wait for scenes with him to be over.

real chit .....

Stats show 185 people in Massachusetts have died of heroin in four months
The shocking data released by state police spotlight the growing problem of heroin overdoses in the Northeast.

Did you watch season 2 'live' or after the fact?

Watching it live, I disliked season two cuz it felt like white washing and going away from the characters we came to love from the first season. I'd imagine those concerns are less apparent whilst binge watching. When I rewatched the series (knowing how the latter seasons shaped up) season two was much better than I have credit for during my first viewing.

That's a decent point I guess. Nah I didn't watch the show live like everyone else. I caught up about a year after the show had wrapped up. So yea I could see where you're comin from.

Def true on officer Walker. On those other dudes, nah. I don't really acknowledge season 5 at all, so I can't list them.

Winning at street life is losing at real life. Being the best of the demons is not something to strive for, friend. It's so demonic.

He escaped a demonic lifestyle with his life and now has an opportunity to find Christ. Ever day you're alive with peace, is a blessing like amen.

No he didn't. Did you watch the final scene? Homie went right back to them skreets. It's so demonic, friend.

You didnt look at the symbolism of that scene. Despite realizing he won he stil had that thirst to have his name ring in the streets. He felt his first taste of vulnerability when he tried to do that and you can tell by the look on his face that he realized it was over and he needed to hang it up.
