Okay so I wanted to finish the first season before I gave my thoughts.

• I thought the editing was very interesting, there's A LOT of off-camera action and plot that occurs that normally would be shown on any other show. Certain murders, arrests, events and conversations that were completely cut from screen-time. Very peculiar but also oddly satisfying at times for the show to get right to the point

• Really loved the mysteriousness of Avon & Stringer Bell in the first several episodes, almost painting them as enigmas, very cool. Both of them have to be some of the coolest characters ever!

• Jimmy is an absolute cuck. Really liked the guy in the first couple episodes, thought he was getting s*** on unfairly but as the show goes on, he just comes off as an elitist prick who questions anyone that doesn't have the same ideas as him, for someone who barely did jack s*** in the case he sure got pissed off a lot.

• I found everyone in the police side other than Daniels and Freamon, pathetic. Bunch of cops who pretend to care about the well-being of the projects but are in-fact in it for the "career case".

• The side characters in the pit were all really interesting with lots of depth. Noticed how a lot of the events take place at the pit rather than between the higher ups, almost like they're building that foundation first

• Omar is incredible!

• Curious to see where and how the second season goes, they really gonna stretch this case to 5 seasons?

Also, nice to finally get context behind this -

Nothing even touches this for me, and I doubt anything ever will.

That f***in' moment in season 4 when Carver has to leave that one kid in the group home absolutely wrecked me on my recent rewatch

yeah i can def see that.
didnt want my post to sound like breaking bad is like the worst show oat or anything like that, to me it just doesn't rank that high in the goat shows.

there are still ppl who dont like season 2 blows my mind honestly, that season is so giving especially on rewatches.
i get being thrown off at the change of scenery from the streets to the docks yet you still got the streets stuff in that season, although muted but stil..
and frank is such a tragic but amazing written character, just how that whole s*** starts from some pettiness over a f***ing window in a church is just so tragically funny as well.

The writing in the third season got me hooked on the show again after the surprise from season 2's setting. The re-establishment of the wire and the promotions and moves that Stringer was starting to plot. I also see the fall of Avon and Stringer's relationship as the biggest climax to all of the show. Chris and Marlo were always cool so we never got to see hwat conflict between them really look like besides the prison scene when Marlo is shouting his name haha

season 3 had a lot of good endings

they just slit his throat and tossed him into the sea my man frank didn't deserve that

also love the scene near the end when valcheck opens the last postcard from the van that frank shipped around the world to piss him off

"aww frank you cocksucker "

btw, does anyone remember if they ever showed Burrell approaching Carver to act as an insider in the detail unit, on camera in season 1? I kept trying to find it but had no luck. I just saw Daniels call up Carver and catching him being the mole.

Season 2 a classic skip when you re-watching

one of my fav scenes in the whole show is still when carver and herc buy that expensive ass surveillance bug and place it in that tennis ball and then frog throws the ball away and the truck hits it

It definitely feels like the conclusion of one era and the introduction of another. They handled it very well. I never really noticed that aspect of the deaths in season 3, interesting observation

The 3rd season literally starts with the high rise projects being blown up to mark a new era in Baltimore, but we see that its still the same game.

The opening scene of each season is the message statement for that season.
