Totally. He should have got awards for this.

[@mngglvs]

An unbelievable actor. His facial expressions combined with a silky cadence when he talk just makes him look like the coolest gangster that ever lived. Scenes from the prison are my favourite, particularly when he was schooling Dee. The guy destroyed his nephew without regard for his feelings and at the same telling him its "always love". Insane.

[@JulianJ58]

Regard for his "feelings" 😂

Avon was making way more money than Tony soprano with HALF the resources and connections

[@MissBaudelaire-z5f]

@mngglvs Wood Harris is amazing in everything he's in even if it's a small role/bit part; he had a very small role as a police officer in "Blade Runner: 2049". If I remember correctly, it's the scene where K has the remains that he confiscated from Sapper Morton's backyard examined by a forensic pathologist(played by David Dastmalchian).

[@MrSnappyJones]

He was actually looking out for him for real Dee just couldn't see that. He wanted it to be one way, but it was the other way

[@SpaceghostJ]

@@steverogers7601wtf is the correlation

[@notoriouspisces]

Difference between Avon & Marlo… Avon understood the game. Every level. In ways that Stringer never did. And he respected it. Marlo understood it too, but he had no respect for it or its players

[@RodmanTackleAdvisor]

Avon was legacy. In his bloodline for generations. He grew up being groomed for the crown. The game is like water to him. Life. Marlo was a self made man. Took a corner. Took the block. Goes independent and never negotiates until he gets the crown. Gets it, then goes about selling out to move up. The game is like money to Marlo. A tool to move up. In the end, Marlo ends up taking his corner back solo. He respects the game, but he also considers it beneath him. Avon's life is intrinsically tied to his street status. Marlo's is tied to his as well. Ironically, the real difference was legacy. Marlo got forgotten about. Everyone knows Avon.

[@StringerBell-r1z]

For that I respect Marlo, why respect a competitive field, with death and snitching

[@madgavin7568]

@@StringerBell-r1z There's a difference between respecting and recognizing, it ain't the same thing. Nothing Marlo did was worthy of respect.

[@DodderingOldMan]

IMO Wood Harris gave the best performance in the show, and in a show with THIS cast... that's really saying something. The thing about Avon, he didn't really have any character development. And I don't mean that as a bad thing at all, he's just a character who knew who he was, and what he was. In a way that's the defining characteristic that set him apart from Stringer; Stringer wanted more, and he paid the price. Avon, though, said it himself, 'I'm just a gangster I suppose'. And he paid a price too, as he ends up with a lengthy prison sentence. But at the end of the series, he's fundamentally the same person he was at the start - just a gangster. But what an amazing, powerful, charismatic, complex character he is.

Avon...This character was done too perfection

[@elliotgreen2481]

You not A man today…. You THE man today 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@josephhopeless829]

Man thx for putting this together. I’ve seen the show many times through but with this you see Avon go from unknown to mistrusting stringer, their disintegration, it’s fascinating. You should do one on bodey and poot and slim Charles. Or cutty, I swear even the extras are perfect in this show.

[@robmartin5556]

Avon was the best boss,yo look at all the shows like snowfall and sopranos shows like that he just was a gangster

[@Nsdus5676]

Wood Harris did an impeccable job on this role. His name should be mentioned in the conversation more about great TV characters. Then again so many that are were in shows not as good as this. I say that to say this… many of those shows and characters don’t compare to the Wire, they were too mainstream and couldn’t get away with some of what the Wire could on Cable. Thus, the Wire didn’t have as much exposure but had so much more than most any other show and we wouldn’t of had it had it been a network show. And I think Wood Harris knows he was great. If he doesn’t he should. Those mainstream shows on network appeal to an audience that wasn’t ready for the masterpiece the Wire is. Sometimes the best are diamonds in the rough. The Wire was special because it didn’t have the following of a network show at first. But those that knew, knew. You ask people and they say they’ve never seen it. Imagine if we had no Wire, which we almost didn’t considering HBO almost cancelled it after every season. Maybe he wins and award on another network on regular TV but then again we wouldn’t of had this opus.

Avon home now

[@Cuz_lufc]

The Wire is the best tv show ever written. It covers so much and shows all the aspects of everyone involved in the hussle of drug dealing from the supplers, dealers, customers, police, media, right through to the politicians. I really enjoyed Breaking Bad but The Wire is next level. Excellent writing and acting

Avon is what Marlo aspired to be

[@mauricecarroll243]

29:00 Just noticed he is the same Barksdale soldier that opened the door in S1 for the raid of the Barksdale and in s3 1:31:03 claimed all them guns. He was present for both Avons downfall. Small details that make all the pieces matter

[@missbhavin4philly]

Yup, thottie

[@aharris82]

Mhmmmm....the way he was checking her out in front of D'Angelo, just scandalous and no shame... XD

[@nationalcommentreadingasso361]

I’m surprised Avon didn’t check Stringer. If I was D I would’ve told Donnette “Don’t be lettin that nigga twirl you around. U ain’t no ballerina” 😂

[@Coffycoloredworld]

Stringer never really liked D'Angelo I believe he only tolerated him because of Avon's love for him. He never thought D'Angelo was good enough for the game or Donnette

This might be the best one yet

[@stephendavis6267]

I like to imagine that a season of "The Wire" set twenty years after the original show ended, where we see the original (surviving) movers and shakers of Baltimore in the old days and how they've adapted. I like to imagine an older, seasoned Avon who comes out of the Cut to find that the game isn't in him anymore, like it wasn't with Cutty when he got out. His name still rings out, but it's not what he wants anymore. He had his time with the crown, he did well in prison to build a nest egg, but now that he's out he finds himself advancing more towards community work like Cutty and, eventually, The Deacon (who was played by the real-life Avon Barksdale inspiration).

[@Cuddy83]

This would work

Don't give away game, man.
