I’m watching this for the first time. Tell me, teevee, we will never get such a soulful show ever again, am I right?

whats so good about it? it's just a show about nogs selling drugs

The detectives literally aren’t gritty what fucking show are you watching?
>>
>>218684421
It’s the last of the shows critical of institutionalization before everything became globohomo sponsored 911 propaganda. It did a good job looking at every level of the job striving clout chasing faggotry that is modern America & its crime cycles.

Besides all that, if you think it’s solely a black show, you definitely didn’t watch beyond season 1. The second season is 90% polack retards from the docks; the show is about Baltimore & why all these different people condemn their surroundings to terrible conditions for personal gain.

when BET played the entire series of The Wire they edited the entirety of season 2 into one episode. Guess black people didn't want to watch the white parts of the show. I thought season 2 was one of the best parts desu.

Season 2 is the favorite season for contrarians, while i liked it it did escalate the capeshit aspects with the whole organization that felt more appropriate for Fargo

Heh that's true, Polański is the most famous Polish director in America. But to be serious, I meant not representation among actors, directors or cinematographers (there's actually quite enough Pollacks in Hollywood) but rather representation of Polish diaspora as characters.

I guess there's also Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino and one of the Madagascar penquins

Once you know what happens, there's not a lot to The Wire, so there's not much rewatch value. It's not particularly layered or "deep". It's thematically relatively simple and repetitive. Each season is basically "This institution/group and this one are dysfunctional" repeat for each episode until season over. Then next season they drop one of those groups mostly and add a different one. Then they completely lose the plot in season five. It's just not a truly great show. Better than 90% of TV, but not top tier.

This. An honest show about inner city idiots doing inner city stuff would be interesting. Of course it would be impossible to present a group of minorities in a largely negative light in the 2020s. It's against the American religion to show nonwhites outside of an office full of lawyers/doctors/engineers.

what percentage of tv shows do you think are great? keep in mind 95% of them are complete dogshit filler between shows people actually watch

>>218684343
No. The media and political landscape is such that they'll never be able to create and produce something this good ever again for TV or film. Not in our lifetime. Enjoy it and what we have from the past. Lotta good stuff out there that I'm sure you haven't seen yet.
You could also try reading good literature. Real quality fiction has the feeling of a great TV series like The Wire or The Sopranos.

>>218686644
Hamsterdam was literally an unpoliced area wasn't it?

>>218685658
I was a little disappointed about the change in focus in season 2 on my first watch because I was so entrenched with what was going on with the streets, but on rewatch I've grown to appreciate it as my favorite storyline of the entire show. My dad, grandfathers, and uncles all were diehard auto union guys and I saw up-close and personal how the death of the American Auto Industry cripples cities and the workers it leaves behind. Season 2 on the docks is one of the greatest American tragedies ever told.

You are wildly overestimating how many shows are great or classic. 1 out of every 10 show is great? I would say less than 1%. Probably less than 0.1% of television shows could be considered great.
>>
>>218686953
not a fucking chance lmao, go look at the listings for any network and tell me every 10th show is great
>>
>>218686644
The problem with Hamsterdam is that the police basically became cartel/gang agents and maintained order, while allowing criminal organizations to grow. Might as well institute quality control and set up store fronts. Don’t half ass it. The half assedness is the biggest problem.
>>
>>218686980
Interesting thought. I think you're onto something there. You're right, people didn't used to root for politics like sports teams. My dad's best friend was a Republican and he was a Democrat when I was growing up and they barely talked about. Now they would argue about it every day or maybe even not be friends at all. Things were way different back in the 90s (and earlier).

They don't allow black people to look criminal, incompetent, unflattering, or anything but perfect on television and film now. I agree that it would be interesting to see how technology and surveillance has changed "The Game." Do black criminal drug gangs use the internet or social media to sell drugs? TV will never tell us.

getting all the worst parts of the city into one zone and then better policing the rest of the city is a pretty great idea imo, we already have so many cities with essential homeless and drug decriminalization I don't see why not, as long as we can avoid>>218686152

Most TV and film are mediocre to shit. The Wire isn't shit, it's good. I was merely stating its most glaring problem as compared to top-tier TV, e.g., Sopranos, Deadwood. Top ten percent though? Sure, but that's not the highest bar.

>portugal with their decriminalization policies achieved much better results in fighting the drugs and organised crime than US in any point in last 50 years
Portugal's decriminalization led to better results for 5 years or so, then the results evened out to being about the same as they were before decriminalization. The best policy regarding personal use of hard drugs is probably forced rehab. As opposed to serious jail time or basically ignoring it, like they tried in Seattle and Portland.
>>
>>218688464
Yeah, "immersive-ness" is something I care about a lot and The Wire has such a great feel.

What is there to like? His whole shtick is he cares the most so he's allowed to bend the rules and be unreliable. It's frequently shown that not only do plenty of other detectives care, they're just as competent as McNulty without the bullshit. It'd be cool if maybe McNulty had some sort of introspection regarding this, and he almost does. He gets his personal life together, whatever, but then the fake serial killer sitcom plot nukes any hope he had of actual character development or an arc. He's awful and his American accent SUCKS.

Marlo was dope and they should've iced Omar sooner. His gang was much more believable than the good boys that made up Avon's crew

Anyone else slowly becoming a Wire character? I was better at engineering than everyone on my team combined, including two managers and a director. I carried the group as long as I could but I got tired of everyone soaking up money and not getting anything done. I eventually quit and am now unemployed.

The only detective as good as McNulty is Lester. What was Lester doing before McNulty? Playing with dolls in the pawn shop unit. McNulty is the reason the Barksdale case got started, which resulted in Lester leaving the pawn shop and reaching his full potential. McNulty isn’t just an incredible police officer and detective, but he makes the people around him better as well. If the show has a true hero, it’s McNulty. No politics, no bullshit, just nonstop quality.

They ran out of ideas. I have no other explanation for something that bad. It would be one thing if it just happened and was stupid, maybe you cut to McNulty smugly reading some newspaper headlines out loud to people. Then there's that infinitely tedious news room accompanying B plot. The only part of the last season that I really liked and sticks out to me is when Slim Charles shoots Cheese. Season 2 is the best by a mile. The dockworkers/Greek faceoff is the highlight of the show.

Avon vs Marlo in S3 is way better. S2 is good for being the peak of the major crimes unit though.

I also don’t think the serial killer plot is that farfetched. It seems plausible McNulty would do something to get money while the city is strapped for cash because CIA wouldn’t kiss the governor’s ass. It does come off ridiculous though.

Nah it made the rest of the city safer, as most of the illegal activities only happened in one destroyed neighborhood. It also made taking drugs safer - I believe a scene with medics where they say they managed to teach addicts to use clean needless and / or take over if anybody OD

Is "Pryzbylewski" a real Polish surname? Or similar to one (and Anglicized)?
>>
>>218698752
A really weird one. If it was Przybylewski I wouldn't bat an eye. Guess they didn't want to bother with "rz".
>>
>>218685814

>>218698819
It seems like a clerical error. Maybe on part of the writers (that nobody caught because nobody spoke Polish).
But maybe also a realistic one? I heard about some people's surnames getting mangled when they emigrated in the 19th or 20th century, and then their children are stuck with the "new" version (e.g. Albrecht -> Albright).
>>
>>218698819
>>218698752
It's Przybylski / Przybecki, but with spelling butchered by American immigration officer.

"Y" is pronounced as i, "rz" is zh. So, Pzhi-bil-skee, with a stress in second sylabe
>>
>>218699030
It was very common for immigration wave of 1890s / 1900s. Especially since some of the immigrants couldn't read nor write.
>>
>>218699167
Okay, and what about his uncle? In the show he's "Valchek". I know there is a Polish dance called "walczyk" and it seems like a realistic "butchering" but is it realistic for a Pole to have a surname Walczyk?
>>
>>218685814
>it's pretty wild that it's the only big show where Polish Americans are being portrayed
Untrue. One of the main characters in ATHF was a Polack. Coincidentally, his name was also Przbylewski
>>
>>218699418
> Coincidentally, his name was also Przbylewski
> "Brutanunanulewski" appears in the season 8 show intro, while "Brutananadilewski" appears on Carl's driver's licence in the season 3 episode "Remooned".
Why lie?
>>
>>218686565
This is because amerimutts are almost universally mentally retarded and cannot differentiate between a non-white criminal and a non-white regular person.
>>
>>218699418
Yeah man, one of the characters. That's my whole point. How many big shows you've got purely on Irish Americans (Always Sunny), Italians (Sopranos), Jews (Seinfeld, Curb your enthusiasm), Afro-Americans, Latinos? And with Poles, like you said, it's usually just a character, or small plotline. Nonironically, the wire season 2, with the whole Valcheck vs dockyard workers union is probably the biggest focus on Polish diaspora, like, ever that happen in American TV
>>
>>218687291
I can see how you could get this impression from just season 1, but season 3 very specifically pushes back on the idea that A: Stringer is smart and B: the drug dealers have any kind of rules or code.
>>
>>218700295
Stringer is one of very few intelligent gangsters, and his intelligence is on level of any low ranking mobster in Sopranos.

The code and coop between various gags on Baltimore last very shortly, no? It all collapses after a year or two

No one cares about slavshit

>>218699367
Valchek is pronounced almost exactly the same as Walczyk / Walczak (both quite popular surnames in Poland), so it's just adjusted for English spelling.
>>
>>218686980
>>218687167
It's the mass spread of social media. Used to be that there was a minor gatekeep in the form of bare minimum effort. you had to read newspapers or listen to radio broadcasts or tune into specific channels at specific hours to follow politics. Now it gets shat onto your face by the all mighty feed

This is also mass mobilizing idiots that fall for the most basic populist grift while purity spiralling in online echo chambers

it has the richest characterisation of any serialised TV show ever made. I don’t think any show had this much care put into the writing, award winning novelists wrote episodes.

No the Wire was always going to end with the journalism fake serial killer storyline. The writers wanted to do a season on Mexican immigrants moving into Baltimore but HBO told them to wrap up the series and the writers didn’t have enough time to do research and a compelling story to try and advocate for the new season on immigration

Polish was never written in Cyrillic in a first place, and it also lacks letters to properly write Polish vowels.

What we should have done is switch to Czech Hus script and write š, č, ř instead of sz (sh), cz (ch), rz (zh / French j)

Based on a real guy according to David Simon
> Brother Mouzone was based on a guy named Vernon Collins, who had a Muslim name. He—I don’t know if—I think he joined the Nation of Islam when he was in prison and he embraced the identity, but I don’t think he was actually active. But he had the vibe of being—I mean, I think he embraced—he went to the Nation when he was in prison. I don’t think he stayed with them in any really [chuckling] orthodox way. But he emerged on the street as a—as a presence with some sort of NOI vibe to him, even if it wasn’t legitimate.
