I first watched The Wire 10 years ago. I stil whip out the series DVD set and watch every episode at least once a year. Crazy how everytime I watch, I pick up on things I didn't catch before.
GOAT show, hands down.

He was one of the most intriguing characters on the show. I think he was just supposed to be an extra on the show too
Wasn't no intrigue to Marlo...he had one dimension...sociopath killer with no conscience

Yeah.
It's my fav show of all time, but if any of the characters had the least dimensions it was Marlo.
They gave no hints, indication, or back-story to him so you couldn't get even the slightest insight into why he was the way he was.
At least none that I remember, and I've seen that show about 5 times front to back.
you didn't miss it because they didn't
You can't really even say he played the role well because he NEVER had to show any depth. The closest we came to seeing any break from his norm was the very LAST scene when he went back to the corner and the youngin's had no clue who he was.

I mean, shyt, even Chris Partlow got a scene that hinted at something more when him and Snoop got sent to off Michael's pops and instead of a head-shot and a vacant he stomped his face into pudding.
Marlo didn't even get that. It's probably the reason why I didn't really mess with Marlo like that - he just seemed like the one stereotype in a show that had none at all.
