Not sure about that. But would have loved an expansion of Brother Muzone's charactor. If you looking to fascinate yourself with the game, I'd agree with your statement. But a guy like me, much rather look for the representation of the full spectrum of what brother's all about to include brothers like Bro Muzone. Growing up in Brkln, and hanging out with my college buddies, I know brothers who fit the Bro Muzone profile . Many of whom have become attorneys and now members of profession. It would have made for real good television.
Jay Harper Some people still won't figure it out though. So who do you think was eviler, Avon or Marlo? Or do you see they're both the same type of evil? I know I do.
PONCHODAGOD Marlo had this disturbingly calm and clear vision of endgame. The only thing that stirred real emotion is when someone used his actual name when they spoke ill of him. It's like a pure form of evil, not tainted. American dream turned on its ear.
Every scene matters in this show. The Wire one of the most beautifully written, acted, and realistic portrayals of the social commentaries and dysfunctional institutions that betray most of these characters. If this show is being used as curriculum in universities than you know the significant importance that The Wire has bred on the sociology,politics,education,economics,and media.
Chris Martinez I was only joking. I took that quote from a Barrack Obama parody. What you said in your first comment is 100% correct. In fact, I believe that several actors from the show visited Harvard in Massachusetts to speak to students about the social aspects that The Wire had to offer. Like every season showed a different type of decay on society in Baltimore.
Chris Martinez Nah I heard it off a video on YT. I think Season 3 was the best because of the Barksdale - Stanfield war, but Season 4 had the best message. The decay of the Educational System and the neglect of the Urban "Street" kids.
The Wire is THE BEST series I have ever watched for crime, politics, PD, DA, City Council etc. It has everything and the actors are AMAZING. My fav is Bubbles, the dope feen lean. His acting abilities are fierce.
@@atlas3565 stringer was playing both sides of fence sorry u just don't get it Avon wasn't he had an obligation to the organization to keep his name n word good or barksdale organization was good
"What you need be concerned with, is what's seated in the chamber now. A copper jacketed hollow point 120 grain hot streak load of my own creation." If you didn't catch it. It means he makes his own bullets. Damn.
Stringer lied to Omar, said mauzone tortured his boyfriend to spare his life when omar got him the first time. Mauzone was Avon's boy, and so stringer double crossed him both. Thats why in the scene the night before he dies, Avon asked him casually(but awkwardly) where he was gonna be tommorow, Avon tipped him off. No need to be loyal after what Stringer did to D'angelo.
@@briannamartinez4213uz he don’t care bout nun. He got good morals and he out here robbing every stash house like it’s nun. Reason why the whole hood was scared of a dikksucker
@@briannamartinez4213 you missed the entire point of the character. He was snitching to troll Bird and the others. He didn’t betray a code he didn’t follow. He was an antihero, a modern day Robin Hood - the reference is even a play on words as the name relates to him specifically, robbin’ hood, robbing in/the hood.
Omar uses so many techniques that go unnoticed by a lot of people. A good example is how he went after Wee-bay and the other guy. Omar says "Hey now..." like he would to a friend and the guy reacts like you would expect. He isn't startled, he's curious who it is - which is the second that Omar needs to get the jump.
Doesn't matter. The wire teaches us eventually you end up dead or in prison. Marlo had a genuine chance out and then he would have won but he couldn't live that life so you know sooner or later, just like stringer and barksdale he will get what's coming.
tweezee - This show was about reality, how the world really is. People like Marlo always win in life, people loyal and hard working like Bodie always go down. The beauty and poetic aspects of this show is that it's heart breakingly true to reality. "Life just be that way I guess".
Mouzone was the worst character on The Wire IMO. That's not to say he was a bad character, just came across too silly in comparison to the all the other characters in the show. He would've been alot better suited to Breaking Bad.
I love an attempt to create a compilation but it’s an impossible task to make a “best of” compilation that doesn’t entail including every second of every episode. Some of these clips I had not picked up on the intensity; it is just a phenomenal and multi-layered piece of brilliance. Being able to experience it with all my senses makes me appreciate being alive. Wonderful.
sopranos = novel, make believe, an exageration and glorification of what NJ mafia ever was (you can watch the real NJ mafia talking about it on YT) they just a bunch of low lifes belive me... high quality TV series non the less, the writing, casting, acting, plots, locations ezz ezz top notch, but a make believe non the less the wire = based on the work of a guy who was living among police, david simon, no make belive, streets as they are... not much to say here, the wire stands alone in a genre of his own, thats why its unique,, the sopranos is just on the top 3 tv series ever made if you want, the wire is just not on that list :)
Bunch of low lives? They are the real gangsters as opposed to the small time dope fiends who work the streets. I think the realism of the wire is over exaggerated wi characters such as the Greek and Brither Mizoune being completely out of place, as well as Omar strolling the streets without getting shot for so long. Sometimes e wire focused too much on the social message of the story that they forgot to make it entertaining e.g. Season 4
Ratchet Achenbach Yeah, as well as Mike and Hank. When shit hit the fan, Walt would panic, such as being willing to give away all the money he made for his family just to stop Hank from being killed. He was always weak deep down.
The Wire is probably the best series ever created. It's almost perfect in every single way and i doubt that anyone can create something better than this.
YES and the gradual build-up to Marlo making that statement when all throughout the series the older heads constantly would refer to him as "son" when speaking to him
People would complain about the all new cast and time period adjustment that would inevitably have to happen. The show would also have to start from scratch, since the original show was one big continuous story about Baltimore and they can't continue anything seemlessly after that big of a tjme jump. If they were going to bring it back on any level, a spin-off or spiritual successor would be best.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy The Wire is phenomenal because from beginning to end It’s just a series of events rather than a structural story per season, the city just continues on and another season would do great only with a few returning characters to justify it being in the universe. However returning characters from the streets would feel contrived considering the fact that no one in the game in the first 5 seasons were old for a reason and had great symbolic meaning.
@@sassythesasquatch6847 The fact that you thought The Wire was "a series of events rather than a structural story per season." tells me you didn't get the show at all. One of the taglines was literally "It's all connected."
@@Delightfully_Bitchy You misinterpreted the ending and possibly my meaning, the connections were how every facet of society from the criminal sphere, dockworkers, schools, newspapers, politics and law enforcement all co-exist and influence each other, one big system full connections (wires), the series derives it’s name for the characters like mcnulty and many others who think just focusing on one wire will fix things but the machine keeps going unchanged. The entire story doesn’t have anything that could be related to your average story structure imo which is why it’s so special. No characters but bubbles gets redeemed but far from any contemporary narrative structure but far more realistic and human. Only delving into characters is the only thing i can think of.
Sin lugar a dudas es la serie que mayor tensión genera y de mayor realismo de la televisión. La realización y la producción son para sentar cátedra por eso la verdad está tan bien reflejada.Cinco temporadas con temáticas distintas trafico de drogas, problemas sindicales, política, periodismo, ..... todo ello con una narración visual impecable.Los Soprano, breaking bad o juego de tronos son magníficas pero esta serie es especial.
Just finished the series. Absolutely incredible all the way through and incredibly helpful as revision for my Sociology GCSE. Feel like my teacher would be kinda concerned, though, lol. It really brings everything to light and I even found myself liking at least a little bit about most characters, even ones that seem pretty irredeemable (yes, even Marlow)
A bit tangential but I’ve always found it interesting that the only character I really found entirely unsympathetic was also pretty much the only well-known face in the entire cast (Method Man). Like, “okay, solid audition but we’re only hiring unknowns and character actors, however we can make an exception but you’ll be the most unlikable character on the show”
@@lamejdavid4254 Nah b 2nd season is super weird if you aren't expecting it but it's so good if you give it a chance. The shit that goes down in that season is some of the most terrifying in the whole show. It shows just how pervasive the war on drugs has rippled through the community of baltimore, it isn't just drug gangs vs the cops. Like Lester says in season 1 "You follow the drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. You follow the money, and you don't know where the fuck you're headed". Season 2 is the Wire following the money.
For five years (and 4 months) I lived in Baltimore. I moved there the night Snot was killed, ripping and running at the dice game, and moved out when Jimmy got out of his car and was looking over the city then said "Let's go home".
Slim Charles going mad about some punks violating the "sunday morning rule" should be on every list. "Do you know what a color lady is? Not your moms fo' shore!"
“Nevermind the why. Why aint yo repertoire no more nigga.” Snoop: “YERRRRRRRR.” Fun fact: Snoop is one of the characters in the show that is actually a Baltimore native in real life. Same with Prop Joe, and a couple others.
