Got me rewatching. Was cracking up at McNulty and Bunk in the apt (old cases) just saying f***k and understanding each other

 

[boogers]

you have the vision of ray charles my friend, comparing oz to deadwood. the writing on deadwood is as good as any i've seen on any program

lol sorry. i know its a beloved show but my god its a CHORE to get into. i actually like westerns, this should be my kind of thing. i wasnt really big on boardwalk empire either.

its been a couple years. maybe i should give it another chance

Presbo is top tier wire character

he starts out a real nepobaby piece of shyt but somewhat redeems himself i guess. dont forget a kid lost an eye because of him

How do yall get past the first episode without falling asleep? I've tried to watch this series at least a dozen times and failed.

The first few episodes are slow as fukk, especially if you never watched the show and already know where the story is headed.

They gotta set the stage and let you see who the major players are, their motivations etc. About halfway through S1, it starts to pick up and is pretty engaging all the way.

There's not much wasted dialogue. Just about everything that's said from the various characters ends up being important....even if it takes awhile to understand what was meant.

Not only is it one of the GOAT shows, it has the best community and fans on the internet. Everytime I go back and watch Wire clips on YouTube, I’m amazed at some of the dialogue and theories between people in the comment sections. Reddit as well. nikkas will have you like “How tf I ain’t peep that shyt. I need to rewatch AGAIN.”

How did you like season 2 of The Wire?

I just finished season 2 it's a bridge season for sure. But watching it in real time was rough. Knowing how things tie together in later seasons makes it bearable and even enjoyable now

But they did that season. I'm never going to find any link, but the last season was supposed to be about illegal immigrants/central Americans or something like that.

Yea that's why Omar new boyfriend was Puerto Rican

Nobody even knew who the greek was or what he looked like.

The greek wasn't even greek. And his name wasn't his name

the Goat show. I watched the 1st 2 seasons when they came out then rewatched again during the pandemic.

off topic, but the lockdown was the best time to watch old shows that I missed.
