Told you guys, that scene where Slim Charles kills the guy in the diner and calls the cops, was a call back to THE WIRE w/Cutty backstory. David Simon confirms it in his interview.
'The Deuce' Creators Explain That Stunning Season Finale
When Leon shoots Reggie in episode 7, he says the same line that you attributed to Cutty on The Wire. What’s the real-life story behind that line, and why did you want to have Leon say it here?
Simon: That was a little bit of homage on my part, a play to The Wire fans. But also I thought it was a great moment for Leon to have. The incident was Little Melvin Williams at the payphone booth, 1966, shot a guy named Danny Jacobs four or five times. Then he picked up the receiver of the phone, famously called the Pine Street Station and said that line into the phone, hung up the phone and walked away. He was charged in the shooting, but Jacobs survived, and famously wouldn’t testify against him, and it added to Melvin’s legend. So it’s a famous Baltimore story, and I wrote it into Cutty’s backstory. By the way, everyone always assumed he called them and then waited for the police. I don’t even know if I wrote that; that may have been an assumption. I thought it was just a story of how he shot a guy, called it in and walked away, and that would make you legend. It was just his bravado. I imagined the Melvin Williams version when I heard it, and I guess people took it that Cutty just waited for the police. Once I’d seen that interpretation of the line once we gave it to Cutty, I did think about (Leon) patiently waiting for the police in his diner. It felt great. And of course, Anwan plays it, all three of Anwan and Tarik and Olivia in that moment, it’s one of the best-structured scenes.

They need to just rename this show "The Wire 2.0"
I knew Ruby was a goner from that scene with "D'Angelo" on the street. Actually when he gave her a light I thought somebody was gonna pop her in the head or something. I dunno something about it made me know one of them wasn't gonna make it to the end of the episode. Sad way she went out. Did we see dude that pushed her out the window before? He knew her and Rodney (Meth).
If this shyt jumps 10 years, it's not looking good for most of the pimps and any of the hoes returning. I'd imagine they'd all be strung out or murdered by then. They gotta give us more CC tho. I wish D woulda stomped him out a lil more at the end of the ep.
Speaking of CC he was glimpsing his future when he was talking to Lester and didn't like what he saw. All this pimping and still end up a square? Next season will be dope to see how he handles his identity crisis.
It's a great show but alotta people can't get into period pieces especially if they can't identify with the subject matter. I can see how ppl could get turned off by this. Like I wouldn't be tryna watch some love story set against the back drop of the revolutionary war.

Yeah, CC is too good to not keep his character going.
CC and Abby might be my favorite characters on this show. Definitely excited to see their characters evolve.
any links on this being confirmed??
