This show is fucking dumb and I can't get into it. Someone told me it was the GOAT of tv shows. Lmao.
OP has a sub-100 IQ
>>222804698>t. pawn
Marlo's arc was so cringe. Some upstart nigger became such a menace because... He had 2 super duper ruthless hitmen?
>>222804808Yep I hated everything to do with Marlo and how much plot armor he had.
maybe the shield is more appropriate for you op
>>222804718>projecting Its okay anon.
>>222804856I don't think the ending of the show implies he'll be around/out of prison for long.
Can you explain what you didnt like about it?Hard mode: no /pol/ack buzzwords
Maybe I'm too white to enjoy the show.
>>222804698It’s a great show but it was extremely overrated by nigger obsessed millennials and libshits. It’s barely even a top 5 hbo show
>D'Angelo explaining rules of chess to young hoppers is a methaphor for The GameHoly shit mind = blown
>>222804808the others had calmed down and were avoiding violence to avoid police attention, leaving a vacuum for a violent upstart
>>222804808Marlo has more than 2 hitmen, he has a lot of enforcers, but he was the lucky recipient of a power vacuum. Barksdale had already crew lost a lot of its muscle before Marlo hit the scene and Stringer failing to recruit more and focus on the co-op is what allowed Marlo to gain a foothold on the West Side. By the time Avon had enough muscle to hit back at Marlo he got busted again by MCU.With virtually all the Barksdale crew gone they could set up shop wherever they wanted and two-man teams were all it took to take down members from small upstart crews, many of which were coming from out of state after most of the West Side had got the message that you had to stay off his corners or take Marlo's package.
Why is season 3 so mid? Is it because it sandwiched in between the best seasons of the show?
i only really the polack dockworker season. the tragedy of the sobotkas
>>222805140I don't think it is. I think the quality is pretty consistent across the first four seasons then the fifth is still good but much a significant drop in quality comparatively.
>OMAR COMIN’ YALL!
>>222804975shit like this made me hate the show. its so incredibly unrealistic its unwatchable
PANDEMICPANDEMIC
>>222804975its not a metaphor, he simply describes chess in terms of dealing drugs because that's really all the knew.
>>222805515>who did the unrealistic horrible writing for this show? Gee I wonderevery fucking time
>>222805575what's unrealistic about it?
>>222805629Gangster thugs in the worst part of Baltimore would not be killing time playing Chess while they're waiting to sell drugs. Are you joking? Surprised they didn't have a boombox playing classical music at a polite and reasonable volume in that scene too.
>>222805690Basic chess is not that high IQ of a game and was already hugely popular with blacks, you fucking retard. Wu Tang Clan rapped about chess all the time. Its the same reason so many watched kung fu movies. Its just what was available. Its not unrealistic at all
>>222805690In the scene in question the two young gangbangers are playing checkers with chess pieces.
>>222804698Yeah, it's just not good. Maybe my expectations were high whenever I tried to watch it, a few of my friends were hyping it as it was airing and it went on to be canonized as "one of the greatest shows ever", but it's literally just what libtards imagine le streets to be like. It's pretty lame.
>>222805515>anon blown away by the writing in The Wire is so retarded he doesn't know what constitutes a metaphor Checks out.
>>222804948it's made for white people
>>222804698You didn't listen or watch carefully enough.This isn't a show where you can dink around on your phone while watching. Or watch it on your phone. You need to sit down and give it your undivided attention. And you just weren't built for that.
>>222805170I liked season 5 the best. I loved all the newspaper stuff and McNulty going wild.
>>222805575David Simon is a million times more intelligent than you.Keep "exposing" people as being Jewish. That's your little job here. Fucking hateful schizo piece of SHIT.
>>222806119>This isn't a show where you can dink around on your phone while watchingSkill issue. The Wire just isn't as good as all the hype it has around it.
Obligatory Seasons rankings: 4 > 3 > 1 > 2 > 5>>222805985>but it's literally just what libtards imagine le streets to be like.If you're going to say literally at least be correct.
>>222804808dem baltimore gangstas dumb as fuck is the point of the show. stringer made them think he was some kind of genius
>>222805902>>222805866> debating with obvious /pol/ interloperDon't bother.
>>222806286I am correct. It's a vastly overrated television show that sheltered retards hype because they feel like they're being exposed to the gritty harsh reality of le streets. The truth is it's just melodrama and cliches polished up to the point midwits think it has depth. >>I'm a thug but I'm also intelligent...and gay>you see, dealing drugs is like chessOh, fuck off. It's in the same boat as Crash but managed to cloak its pretenses better.
>>222806468Maybe people just like an interesting narrative with compelling characters? Ever considered that?
>>222804698The fave show of Obama, Britney Spears, reddit, etc.
>>222806468I forgot he was gay too kek. Its what Reddit babbys think the streets is really like yo
>>222806468Yeah those people don't know the reality of the streets like you and me, huh?
>>222804698Guess you're brain isnt wired for that, anonLmao
>>222806491Melodrama, retard. >>222806531Kek. >>222806546I don't know about your experiences but you're at least 50% correct.
>>222806644>this fictional tv drama is too melodramaticMaybe stick to capeshit then
>>222806163I like season 5's intro theme the best for sure. And it's a solid final season. Just ends in a "same as it ever was" sorta way. Felt very realistic to me.
>>222806468The guy omar was based on was in the show and also gay.
I reject this show because it does not accurately represent what/pol/ told me about black people.
>>222806425It’s not a debate when someone says something wrong and gets corrected.
>>222806679>REEEEEEEEEEThe Wire just doesn't stack up to its hype (partially because bloviating retards like you consistently parrot muddled half-baked opinions that it's high art, lol).
>>222806701The show itself is gay too.
>>222806847Nobody in this thread called it high art. Just that it's a good, entertaining show. Idc if some hysterical faggot is so hung up on a single scene xhe can't appreciate it for what it is.
>>222805902>Jewish writer can't just have them playing checkers with checkers>we gotta show deys intelligent and introspective too! Cuz life like a Chess game man!
>>222806901>DURRR GO WATCH CAPESHITThe Wire isn't much better than capeshit, smooth brain.
when did /tv/ turn into Reddit lmao
>OMG REMEMBER HOW GOOD THE WIRE WAS!
>>222806924Not being able to learn something unless it’s framed as dealing drugs isn’t saying they’re intelligent or introspective
>>222806996>IKR! I'M REWATCHING IT FOR THE 5TH TIME!
>>222806924Playing checkers with chess pieces makes them look stupid, not smart. The fact that the one who is a slight cut above the others makes a comment about life being a chess game is pretty realistic. People in the real world really do say pretentious shit like that.
>>222807016>OMAR IS THE THINKING MAN'S CRACK DEALER AND THE FACT HE'S GAY SHOWS HE'S SENSITIVE!
>>222806996no. no I don't.
>>222806945/tv/ always loved The Wire. This thread is about 75% samefag.
>>222807052>LIFE ON THE STREETS SURE IS GRITTY! I LIKED HOW POLICE, POLITICIANS, AND REPORTERS ARE IN THE SHOW! THOSE ARE IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE STREETS!
>>222807077>It wasn't great.
>>222807088>BRO SLIM CHARLES IS SO COOL, HE'S LIKE A PAWN WHO BECAME A QUEEN, GET IT?
>>222807077>>222807122>Yeah, it was melodramatic and the writing was actually pretty cliched.
>>222807134>DID YOU SEE THOSE GUYS SAYING THE WIRE ISN'T GREAT?! IT'S A HECKIN' MASTERPIECE!!!
>>222807177>THAT'S HECKIN' BULLPUCKY!
Does this guy go into a Sopranos thread and point out how the real mafia isn't like that too? Yeah I didn't think so.
Soprano trannies with their unfunny reddit jokes about varsity athlete and they pulled me back in are much more obnoxious.
>>222807206>The "gritty realism" for which the show is lauded is really just lame melodrama featuring stock characters wrapped up in cliches about crime in le city.
>>222807289>REEEEEEEEEEE>REEEEEEEE>REEEEEEEEEEE>REEEEEEEE>REEEEEEEEEEE
>>222806924You are so fucking stupid.
The first two seasons are good. But the season where it starts by following the young black kids around town, that was when it became shit.
>>222804718fpbp
>>222807341He's right. Chess being a game for smart people is a cliche and having a bunch of blacks care about it, when the reality is they'd be focused on Yung Greezy beefing with Lil Nignog because he said he fucked Nikki Fromage a Trois first, is emblematic of libtards romanticizing shit they don't understand.
>>222807471someone gets it
>>222807471they're drug dealers surrounded by crackheads. shitty boardgames are really all they're able to have because anything else is getting stolen and pawned to buy drugs.
>>222808479Thread got awful quiet when those söyjaks dropped.
>>222804808marlo was a water sipper on the no sugar diet. Soda booze smoker degens would never understand the real nigga gains.
