The biggest problem I have with the writing of The Wire is that it's just too on-the-nose about trying to be high-brow. The philosophy is just too blunt and unsubtle and occasionally cringy (most infamous to me: "no one wins: one side just loses more slowly").
The writers are obviously very intelligent and high-brow and well-educated liberal academics, sure. But they didn't do a good job of integrating their attitudes into the show where 95% of the characters are the polar opposite of that. Black street drug dealers shouldn't speak like philosophers, period.

Honestly anyone who walked away from the wire thinking the nogs sounded particularly smart is just revealing their own low IQ

>>219586870
Why is it unbelievable to you that black and brown bodies can talk philosophically? Your bigotry is startling.

WRONG.
It's Dickensian.

>>219586926
This. I thought it was obvious they were making attempts at sounding smart, but falling flat due to lack of education. Kind of like in The Sopranos where they guys constantly get phrases slightly wrong. Do zoomers not get this kind of stuff anymore?

Watch him bring up D'angelo chess scene because he doesn't understand that the purpose was to show that he was self-aware enough to know he is a bottom feeder with no prospects and yet stupid enough to think he can play the game at no loss.

yeah, anyone that claims the wire presents hoodrats as super high IQ are retarded or haven't seen it.

Season 2 is the best season because it has the least black people, or niggers as I like to call them.

>>219590305
It's not very comfy though, I found it quite jarring. S3 is back to good old nigs on the sofa, home.

Has this been done again ever since?

why as a random american would you even go to some place like baltimore unless specifically to buy drugs or some other illicit reason?
like asking a yurofag why they'd go to some random war-demolished city in like albania or chechnya or some shit
why don't they just level such places and start over or just leave them as massive windfarms or something?

My auntie lived there. They have a nice waterfront and aquarium. And crab restaurants, neat street performing and art. This was 2005, same time as The Wire. Not sure how it is now.

All the characters are like that though. That's the point.

I couldn't get past the first episode. One of my friends kept recommending it to me and we walked in on his parents watching it. The guy literally said "did you get to the part where Omar gets killed yet?" and ruined it for everyone in the room, l.

Fuck niggers.

No, honestly. I'm sick and fucking tired of 60% of the leading roles in every fucking thing being taken by nappy haired thick lipped pavement apes. They can't even be bothered to try and find ATTRACTIVE black people, pic related. See an online ad? Ugly niggers selling shit. Pull some cash out of the ATM? Ugly niggers trying to get you to take out a home loan. I see ugly niggers in my entertainment after having them force fed to me all day, I'm out. Instantly.

Yeah, that guy was always kind of an asshole. He ended marrying a Chinese broad who was a total shrew. She alienated him from his friends and then divorced him.
