Been watching it again after years. So much more to pick up on - the foreshadowing is extraordinary.

As an acting performance marlo Stanfield.

I dont usually have emotions about TV characters. It's just a TV.

But Jamie hector made me HATE marlo.

He did an amazing job, joined half way through an already critically acclaimed show and lead the narrative.

The character embodied all the worst parts of the drug pins in Co op whilst having no real character himself.

It's criminal how little you see of all those actors uouu see in other shows

But saying who you like best is like saying who is you favorite child.

I did I'm in an Uncle Zuck Wire group and it was mentioned a lot. At the moment our group is going crazy over the success of the Baltimore Ravens, my NFL team. In the whole of the Wire there's only one mention of the franchise (which has only existed since 1997) when Tommy Carcetti is trying to get rid of Burrell and he says "They're acting like I put Ray Lewis out to pasture!' Ray Ray was part of the original draft and by the time he retired he was considered by many to be the greatest linebacker to play the game. But the only shirt I've seen in The Wire is the Eagles one Namond wears. It's just lovely sharing the joy with people who live in the city and seeing the pics people post of pit beef sandwiches and church crowns it's one of my favourite groups and there's never any arguing

I still think it's the best TV I've ever seen.

I remember a TV critic writing that he envied people who hadn't seen it yet because they still had the experience to come.

It was so wide ranging and showed the good and bad in all of us.

Omar was so cool. I genuinely felt sad when he died.

My favourite bit was the end of the first series when McNulty was in the shit and discussing what want would happen to him and said As long as it's not the River Police as I I hate boats. I'm sure the first scene of the second series was him on the River Police boat

Fabulous

There's two kinds of people as far as The Wire goes; those of us who love it - and those who haven't seen it yet.

It is, by some distance, the best television police drama ever made and one of the top ten dramas of any kind.

For me, it's a toss up between Omar and The Bunk - but the thing about The Wire is that there are almost no characters in it that are of no significance at all; which is one reason why it's as excellent as it is.

Season 2 gets a lot of stick but I loved it. It's heartbreaking to see the docks decline. It contains the only moment in which Stan Valchek isn't a complete dick bag when he opens another picture of his well travelled surveillance van after Frank's death and whispers spoczywaj w pokoju (rest in peace). Frank wasn't perfect and he wasn't the greatest family man but he didn't deserve what happened to him. Ziggy's story is absolutely tragic

Diverge all you like, new recommendations are always good Anyone who hasn't seen Top Boy should remedy that, it's excellent. I'd also recommend Ben Drew's debut as a director "Ill Manors" but I warn you it's not pretty.

Slim is one of my favourites. One of my absolute favourite lines is after Avon has let Cutty go and Slim says "He was a man in his time" and Avon replies "He a man today. He a man". That respect and acknowledgement isn't in Marlo, he's a false king because he doesn't love his people.

And oh I do love a nice church crown, some of them are just gorgeous. I looooove the scene in Reverend Read's church.. "can I preach it how I feel it?!"

Which series is this from? .

I loved series 2, although I slightly struggled with the way Ziggy got in so deep so quick. Still a stunning shift to look at the city from a very different angle.

“Church crown” is such a great term. I think Lola would look hot wearing one

.

Agreed on the court. Actually, the more I revisit it the more I think Levy deserves to be mentioned alongside Omar, Bunk, Bubbles etc.

"Hasn't been mentioned yet, but Frank sobotka and the Baltimore dock worker themed season 2 was my favourite.

Resonates with the decline in the American blue collar work industry due to globalisation.

Season 2 gets a lot of stick but I loved it. It's heartbreaking to see the docks decline. It contains the only moment in which Stan Valchek isn't a complete dick bag when he opens another picture of his well travelled surveillance van after Frank's death and whispers spoczywaj w pokoju (rest in peace). Frank wasn't perfect and he wasn't the greatest family man but he didn't deserve what happened to him. Ziggy's story is absolutely tragic "

Ziggy (James ranson) also portrays Ray "rip fuel" Pearson in generation kill

A much more likeable character. I liked his acting in both shame we didn't see more of him.

Season 2 does cop alot of grief but its the set up to the entire ending of the wire.

After I finished the show I immediately went back to seakn2 and all those parts are didn't enjoy first time opened up on another level

Landsman:

“For you I would suggest some pant suits.... something to offset the pinstripe, lawyerly affections of Detective Moreland and the brash, ty impertinence of Detective Freeman”.

I’ve long been mystified as to how ty clothes are impertinent! The Wire does that to you

Levy... the O.G Saul goodman

Can you believe some people try to compare breaking bad and the wire?

Breaking bad is not without its own good writing though

" you two want to stick your wangs in a hornet's nest it's a free country. How come I always gotta get sloppy seconds huh?

Lola I cant believe its just me you and handful of other people into this.

Not quite sure how I managed to write “ty” as “ty” twice in that last post.

I’m sure there’s lots of others into it mind reader. Maybe only a few obsessive enough to keep posting quotes from a show that finished over 10 years ago though

Nope, still don’t get why - I’m channeling Herc and his stupidity here!

Ah - is it because of the middle four letters? Bizarrely, another word featuring that “word within a word” got blocked last night too when I used it. Completely different context/ conversation!
