Rewatching The Wire for the first time

[Lit Wick87]

The only thing that is annoying is for how tightly it’s written is the streets never seem to notice all the police up on the rooftops day in and day out.

Well they are being covert lol

I don't think it's a stretch to think gangbangers wouldn't notice that on their daily

 

[Sphygmo]

Stringer was smart about the phones but ya I guess he just didn't think about the logistics of how exactly they were monitoring them

 

[raytrails]

Never watched it

Never watched it

Good time to start imo

i got to early S4 on my last attempted rewatch, I stalled out both times even though I'm still enjoying it

 

[meatball]

S4 is also my favorite iirc, which makes it extra strange. I think it just gets too heavy when you're trying to watch an episode a night

I fkn love The Wire and I've watched it in its entirety multiple times. Recently re-watched with my SO after begging him for years and he thought it was "just OK" overall but ultimately "too corny" and "for white people". It is starting to feel dated to me finally, but I still love it. Am white tho.

Your mans mad dumb son.

mfw I was watching it for the first time and this scene came on

 

[meyou]

i've rewatched 2x though, so good

 

[Cashishift]

Watching now. Middle of Season 3.

Getting a feeling something is going to happen to Bunny.

 

[Tommy]

i watched 1 episode and quit, keep hearing it gets better

The cast is so massive that you need to dedicate at least 3 episodes to get the full storyline.

 

[subgraphic]

got NOTHING on The Shield.
NOTHING.

They were 20 feet away on top of a 3 story building for 5 years

Rolling up in the same cavalier everyday too, and sprinting out the front door during any major event.

My wife has been fully in so far, found that a bit surprising

We watch an ep or so a night as well

I think I always said s3 > 1 > 4 > 2 > 5 back in the day

yeah i never really lose interest necessary, it generally reaches a point where I just want to watch something a little happier and then I fall off

 

[veggie quesadilla]

was super into season 1 and ready to binge the rest of the series and then i got to season 2 and it was too different. i put it off for the better part of a decade but i finally got around to watching season 2 last year. i'll prob watch season 3 this year.

Fucking loved s3

Weebey is such a piece of shit


D'Angelo all concerned about the dead girl at the end of their party. "Uhhh weebey what's wrong with her?"

"I fucked her silly"

he's not supposed to have any redeeming qualities until you meet his son, and then his son starts down the right path. and then his wife is trying to make him a "real man" like Wee Bey, and he's not having it.
