    I mean yeah, that’s exactly what started season 2’s story. the police union and stevedore union were battling over whose stain glass window would be installed in a big church, leading to the police chief getting revenge by jamming the stevedore boss up and finding out how they have so much money to afford a big stained glass window, and then that leads to the police finding out the stevedores are trafficking illegal s*** for money.

    so the whole story was literally started over a stained glass window. the whole show is about something small rippling into something big. I don’t see the problem with that lyric lol

    wait why tf am I even explaining this to you, s***s not gonna change your mind lol

    dude even replied with an emoji from the show itself lmao

    nigga think i didn't use that smiley on purpose. no wonder you think this s*** is hot

    forreal lol he keeps trying to insult me and s*** and I clearly walked away from the argument, he hasn’t even seen the show this thread is about to understand how impressive the song is by condensing 60 hours of story into 5 minutes and it still making sense lmao

    so apparently i'm the troll when even though I've said twice in this thread that I've watched it (several times and it's top 2) you're still pretending otherwise

    "clearly walked away" when I responded within 2 minutes and you edited your comment after that to make it seem like i randomly stumbled upon the string smiley

    disagree if you want but quit the bullshit

    The Wire itself is incredibly corny.

    The Wire hits you over the head with these stupid a***ogies. In one scene, they lay out the chess metaphor and even liken some characters to chess pieces DIRECTLY (Yo the queen is kinda like Stringer!!!), as if the viewers are too stupid to comprehend it, and they keep hitting you with these a***ogies all the time over the next 5 seasons.

    The "cycles" and "nothing matters" theme is so obvious too, I mean the last scene in the show repeats it again.

    Every single episode "THE GAME" gets mentioned, and how "THE GAME IS THE GAME" or "THE GAME GETS MORE FIERCE", it honestly becomes a joke over the course of the series.

    There is absolutely zero subtlety to the show. It's like the show partly exists to make dumbasses feel smarter about themselves. There is zero ambiguity to any event.

    I like the show regardless of these flaws, but it is not as high-brow as some people think.

    Brother Mouzone is incredibly f***ing corny too. You're telling me some NOI member is reading these liberal political magazines like New Statesman like he's a West Wing extra?

    Omar is kind of corny too, some of the folksy sounding s*** he says is like straight out of a comic book.

    The way the cops banter with each other is corny, the first Rawls scene with the two middle fingers is incredibly corny

    I won't even mention Season 5

    The Wire is straight CORN. Still a good show but more of a guilty pleasure IMO

    season 4 was a heater.

    4 was probably the greatest single season of tv I’d ever seen. I respect the show for getting you super attached to the 4 kids and only giving 1 of them a happy ending (my boy Randy didn’t deserve getting chewed up by the system )
