Things you didn't notice on The Wire until multiple watches

[Standing on business]

yea man Avon fukked up with D. D was really about to spill it all to the cops until his lawyer walked in. Avon should’ve cut him out that very moment.

Less impact.
I was very late to the show, but my friends who were fans would drop EVERYTHING when the new episode aired.

The impact was super delayed, alot of my first coworkers worked on the wire and they didn't notice it taking off until they started filming season 5 (so when season 4 was airing)

They really only had one season of filming where they knew the show was the shyt as a watcher I didn't know the shyt existed either til they came on 106th and Park and i wondered who these actor nikkas were on a music show

If he wasnt throwing Avon name around he was telling other people stories like they were his. For example him telling the pit boys he killed Avon's girl when it was Weebey's body.

been on a rewatch the past few weeks and I finally caught that, even out there talking about tap, tap, tap

been on a rewatch the past few weeks and I finally caught that, even out there talking about tap, tap, tap

D telling Bodie the recap of him supposedly killing ol girl was the only time i cringed in the entire series…

I didn’t even believe it so the look on Bodie face is self explanatory

Would the Wire (or any acclaimed show) have the same impact if it were released all at once instead of weekly like a lot of shows now?

Yea. An overwhelming majority of it’s audience discovered the show after it was over. shyt, the first season I watched was season 3 back when hbo had On Demand and would keep the previous season available before a new season started. Binged it in like 2 days. Then torrented the first two seasons and finished them in a week. I only watched season 4 and 5 live.
