I’m doing a rewatch. On the back end of season 2 so far. Such a great show. I’ve watched it all the way through many times but still pick up on things I’ve missed especially random funny one liners.
So if season 6 happened it would have involved Latin immigration. There was also a spin-off with Carcetti in the works. Oh what could have been.
The best Rawls moment is when he plays Ride of the Valkyries over the speakers when they’re breaking up hamsterdam and I will hear no arguments
I’m of the opinion that there is no “best” Rawls scene on account of he’s a rat fuck piece of shit and I hate him
While true, the “best” Rawls scene is at the hospital right after Kima gets shot when he picks McNulty up, figuratively and literally, and tells him this isn’t his fault. “Listen to me you fuck ... You are a gaping asshole, and everyone knows it. But this is not on you. And the motherfucker saying this, he hates your guts. So you know if it was on you, I’d be the son of a bitch to say so”
Simon is back in Baltimore. looks like we have Marlo and O-Dog as cops with Landsman as some one much higher up in the department.
not really. this is based entirely on real people and actual events contained in the gun trace task force investigation https://www.gttfinvestigation.org/ similar themes, for sure. but I wouldn't expect it to look or feel like The Wire.
Hector and Williams were both great in the wire. I'm quite interested in seeing how they are in the new roles.
Reading the cast list on IMDB is like getting the band back together. Herc, Poot, etc And is that the "seasoned" youth all grown up?
Rewatching recently and Kennard pouring lighter fluid on a cat before he pops Omar was amazing. That little fucker was pure evil
Nah. I remember reading that a good while back, and it’s where I have to separate a fucked up real life situation from really good television. And that scene made for incredibly good television.
Omar in court Omar and Mouzone in the alley Waylon comforting Bubbles as Kima looks through the window McNulty "Spot on!" The king stay the king
Haven’t listened yet, but Method Man is doing an 8-episode podcast series looking back on The Wire in conjunction with HBO. First ep talked to David Simon, second one with Hassan Johnson who played Wee-Bey.
I have begun another rewatch. So many good parts in season 1. Always love the chess scene and end up watching it multiple times.

"ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER" is one of my favorite lines from The Wire. usually only appropriate/useful when people are drunk and rambling at the end of a night.
