I’m midway through season 2 and this show has the most traumatic death scenes I ever seen, makes me wanna cry

Did y’all watch The Corner?

tried 1st ep fell asleep it'stoo slow forme loved the wire but found it slow in places. ziggy . omar the g and avon barksdale and stringer bell duo and bunks drip with the cigars mcnultybeating down all the baddies show was too much sauce so glad i was recommended it and slapped through it in quarantine

Go back in big dog. It’s enjoyable and a spiritual prequel to the wire

rewatch?

Yes, it wasn't as good but it was definitely worth the worth.

First

How'd you like the first season? Also beware there's mad spoilers itt

First season was great! Was pretty much great. I like how every character seems to get fully developed w their own little web of complications- season 2 is different but still solid

finally finished this so i feel safe to hop in the thread...

probably the best work of fiction i've ever consumed GODDAMN

welcome! 🤗

who's your fav character?

literally the most obvious answer but it has to be omar blud, a close second would be chris or cutty

watching for the first time. just finished the first szn last night

still a great choice hahah and real for Cutty!

second season is like nothing else in the show, best savour it while its still fresh

"The Wire is a show about how contemporary American society, and particularly raw unencumbered capitalism, devalues human beings. Every single moment on the planet from here on out, human beings are worth less. We are in a post industrial age. We don't need as many of us as we once did. So if the first season was about devaluing the cops who knew their beats and their corner boys slinging d****, then the second was about devaluing the longshoreman and their labor. The third, about people who wanted to make changes in the city and the fourth was about kids who were being prepared badly for an economy that no longer really needs them. The fifth, its about the people who are supposed to be monitoring all this and sounding the alarm, the journalists. The newsroom I worked in had 450 people. Now its got 300. Management says we have to do more with less. That's the bullshit of bean counters who care only about the bottom line. You do less with less"

Was bugged out when I heard James speak in his normal voice lmao
