The Wire would almost be on sopranos level if it werent for the rare and awkward writing. The exposition on exhaustion is terrible, for example

This is how policing was in 2002. These days they don’t even need warrants to bug people

Just noticed the golden gloves aspect must have been dropped in later. Kima's final sentence about it in the beginning sounds different and it doesn't match up with her lips.

This is the typical TV Series trope that none of the detectives have a clue and one guy solves it all in 5 minutes.

Lester Freeman: The Mic Drop of The Wire....

Even Lester’s car is smooth. I’m not sure if it’s an old school el dorado or a stutz but it’s exactly what he should drive! That’s the coolest part of the scene

“Well excuse for me giving a sh*t, but I can’t help but notice that this is a middle-aged white man.” 😂 McNulty is a legend

After all these years I just realized that Lester let the gym doors open when he enters. Given the doors symbolism throughout the whole series it may mean a relevant truth is coming.

David Simon, one of the creators, said a few weeks ago that NBC is finally negotiating the music rights to allow it to stream. That was the issue. NBC hadn't negotiated music rights originally.

Bad example of Lester's genius because this here was just a coincidence he knew that boxing club
@kamiioo32892 ай бұрын
I don't believe that's entirely true. He probably went to every boxing gym on the west side looking for intel. Once he found his trainer, or possibly his promoter, he was able to get the poster. Lester knew to talk to people, rather than just go on surveillance or informants. At least, that's what I expect from an older detective.

Interesting that Kima says "father unknown" because in season 2 or 3 Butchie says that Avon's dad was plain evil and that Avon is no better.

As I rewatch these clips, it dawns on me that Lester was probably the McNulty of his prime. I love that the Wire shows that the more times change the more things remain the same.

Lester Freamon just hapenning to be working in the BPD is easily the biggest break the police ever have in this show.

I got this feeling that as smart as Lester was, he seemed conflicted just giving his team the right leads... especially the gym scene where he had to ask questions about Avon

People always talk about Omar but Lester was always my favorite character. Omar may have been the soul of Wire, McNaulty , the passion, but Lester was the brains of the show. The insistence the case needed a wire in the first place was him. The nail gun, the bodies in the vacants, figuring out who D'Angelo was. Investigating politicians right before thier election campaigns was all Lester. He was the straw that stirs the drink.
