No names on the street.

Incredible kino levels until Marlo shows up
>>
>>218209678
Ngl, when it came out I had a hard time figuring out who was who. Took me a while to get used to the faces. I only watched this show once. It's quite heavy to bingewatch.

Mediocre TV show. Just watch Breaking Bad.

>>218209678
Season 2 is pure unfiltered kino

Better serial killer cop kino than Dexter

>>218209678
I did not care for Season 2. The docks weren't interesting.
>>
>>218209714
Marlo is definitely kino. Every scene with him is hilarious

>>218209886
Cool it with the anti-polish rhetoric!

agreed
instead of turning pic related into "muh corners" they shouldve kept him as the nigga in the shadows like s1 and Marlo shouldve died

I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns! What an amazing metaphor!

It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.

Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.

Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.

Is meh. Once you hit season 2 you might as well turn it off

You're gonna lose your spaghetti when Carcetti shows up.

>>218209678
watch seasons 1-3, all you need. each one is good in a different way
>>
>>218209862
Mine is Washington Street

>>218210005
Of all the takes so far this is the most incorrect
You might like or not like it, but not one season is appreciably that much better or worse than the others, except maybe late in the series.
>>
>>218209740
For me, it's the names of randoms that are just constantly thrown around in the show who we never get to see that got me confused at times
>>
>>218209799
Getting into this show fully blind was one of the best things ever. I had no idea the show was going to shift into a whole new topic while still keeping the same characters while adding some new ones. As soon as I saw the season 2 intro of the baltimore waterfront, I knew this show was something else

>>218209678
D'angelo didn't deserve it

>>218209678
Michael becomes the new Omar
Syndor becomes the new McNulty
Kima becomes the new Lester
Carver becomes the new Daniels Dukie becomes the new Bubbles
The game never changes, just the faces!
What a brilliant show!

>>218210159
Of course he did.
>"cuz, the game is rigged against the little guy"
>plays the game anyway
>loses
>"cuz, I was actually too smart for this shit"
>ack-
The chuds who keep bringing up the chess scene and haven't watched the show aside from YouTube clips completely miss the bigger picture that D'Angelo is the definitive example of a midwit. And despite posturing to be intellectually above it all and being able to see the thought matrix of running corners for Stringer and Avon, he gets swatted almost first in line.

I'm sick of this show desu

It's a great show but there are some scenes where the writer might as well push the actor out of frame and just tell you his opinions himself. Also the newspaper plotline is the worst part.

He snitched and he cried over killing a kid who also snitched. Literally everything bad that happens to criminals in wire is because of snitching or poor subtlety

I lived through a very similar situation in 2012, got a logistics jobs where a giant smuggling ring got busted, unions involved etc, some deaths and alot of prison. It was mostly poor people not being able to afford the jumped interest rates on their shitty homes anymore. EU btw.
Unironically cried in s2.
S4 was kino too, i grew up extremely poor.

4 seasons of kino followed by a disappointing final season
