Cool Facts You Should Know About The Wire

The wire, greatest show ever. Still accurate today

Slim Charles' actor would have been an AMAZING Marlo. His voice is menacing as hell

[@gerstell]

One of my favorite characters 😮

[@ARach-lv5wc]

I love how many iconic lines Slim Charles has, despite him having a minor role in the series: -"Clay Davis? *The* Clay Davis? Downtown Clay Davis?" - "The thing about the old days. They're the old days." - "On a Sunday morning? And ya'll ain't hit a ni**a neither? All ya'll killed was grandmas crown?" ...and of course: "That was for Joe!"

The fact that the real Jay Landsman was not Jay Landsman enough to play Jay Landsman is hilarious.

[@dfailsthemost]

Genius casting. The fact that they recognized actors that would fit different roles speaks volumes.

[@-LMND-]

It's disgusting to me what little recognition the Wire has had since it came out. True, it's more popular now and yea people do love the show, but the fact that it was cancelled after season 3 due to poor ratings is insane to me. I truly believe this is the greatest TV show ever created because it tells stories that NEEDED to be told. Not just for the sake of entertainment but to inform everyone of these realities that exist for so many people all over the world. Really well put together video, man. Thanks for teaching us some awesome facts about the Wire!

The Wire was just art man. The most well-crafted show ever made IMO. Whoever was in charge of casting deserves all the awards as well, this was one of the most well-casted shows ever and whoever was able to see all these people in their auditions and know the exact characters they would be good to play is a legend.

[@loudnclearvoiceovers4141]

No lies in that statement my friend🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@1300mikehoward]

I understand what you are trying to say, but The Wire was art imitating the life of people in Baltimore. The wire is basically scripted from real events and people in Baltimore during a certain time period. Like anything else the actual characters and natives are exploded by the industry and firmer. and they are the ones who don't get the credit. Baltimore crime figures acted and consulted The Wire on how crimes occurred, who was who, and how the streets move. The police and Producers only know what the streets tell them, they don't have a clue on how things are done. Both are clueless and depend on snitches and informants for material or evidence. But I do with a collaborative effort of all parties, The Wire is one of the best REAL ALLEY shows on earth. Especially, since I'm familiar with the real characters portrayed, some of the real characters playing themselves and many of the Baltimore actors on the show.

[@gnryushi]

I'm glad you're a real person narrating this video and not AI.

[@bh760]

The guy with the dodgy eye that goes with Omar to get Marlow at the apartment building (and gets killed) was the real life person Omar’s character was based on. It’s in The Wire book. Dope fact

[@KJT4888]

Wow I can't even imagine it being cancelled after season 3 being how great season 4 was. I think the Sopranos and The Wire are the 2 greatest TV shows ever but I think The Wire season 4 is the greatest single season of ANY show EVER....

[@loudnclearvoiceovers4141]

Yeah season 1 and 4 are my favorites, thanks for watching

[@notsofastahole]

Crazy how much different it could have been. I can't imagine it being better, but everyone involved are so talented who knows!

[@charlestonchewy]

It kind of makes sense that season 3 was going to be the end. The very last episode in that season was called “Mission Accomplished”. They got their main men; Stringer Bell and Avon Barksdale along with 15 other members of the Barksdale Organization. Along in the ending montage you’ll see a content McNulty walking a beat with a smile on his face. And great policing by Lt Cedric Daniels (played by the late Lance Reddick) got him promoted to Major.

[@bryanbelcher5785]

I remember that I was glad because as a kid that's when our cable got cut off. I was like I'm not going to miss anything. Lol

[@loudnclearvoiceovers4141]

Yeah Omar throwin out the shotty was a great ending to that as well

[@sj3695]

Jd Williams portrayal of bodie was so authentic and amazing and knowing that fact now just makes so much sense ❤️and side note his death was defently the saddest

[@slappytheclown4]

It says a lot about that character when you still feel bad for his death after he killed Wallace in Season 1.

[@thecappeningchannel515]

Bodie was a dirty criminal who murdered his friend Wallace. He deserved to get whacked.

[@yell0wberry]

I don’t know, that kid who blasted Omar point-blank, might get a mention

[@RossDeGrate]

Greatest story ever filmed! Btw, the main star of the show/story is the city of Baltimore. That’s why it’s so great. It’s one story seen from five different perspectives. The dealers, the blue collar workers, the kids, the cops and the media. No other show was so realistic, detailed, had S-Tier acting with great stories as much as the wire did!

[@raymondsims7042]

Agreed the wire is on a tier by itself

[@yell0wberry]

The absolutely crazy part about this show is that the city of Baltimore didn’t even go through much of a major change, it still looks no different than it did before they even started filming the show on location, so In a way it’s like those same exact characters still exist in real life as we speak

No show is like the wire. It’s the closest to reality as you can get. Believe me, my cop friends said it’s 100% accurate

[@nekrataali]

I can't watch other crime shows featuring a police perspective anymore because of The Wire. Over the course of five seasons, there's basically three investigations: Avon's crew and his takeover of the high rises, the shipping container full of dead girls, and Marlo's takeover of the New Day co-op. But all three investigations are connected ultimately to a single case: the enigmatic Greek. The five seasons plays out over five years on the show. At the end, the police realize they were investigating only one group and the different gangs/cartels were linked. That's often how investigations go in real life. Sometimes, an investigation can last over a decade as hundreds of witnesses are interviewed, thousands of pieces of evidence are cataloged and stored, even more hours of surveillance and going over hours of video/audio, etc. etc. and so on and so forth. Joseph Pistone (a.k.a. Donnie Brasco) infiltrated the Sicilian Mafia in New York and spent six years undercover is one example. Then you have these cop shows where they solve new murders each week and investigations with trials take only a few days. Yeah, no. Law enforcement wishes it were that good lmao

[@davidguiney1746]

It's really hard to imagine any of these characters being played by some one else. Like Lance Riddick as Bubbles, but he played a cop turned drug addict in Oz so probably felt like that role might suit. Again, how could any of these characters be played by someone other than who played them but then the actor brings out the character so who knows, those switch ups might have worked. But whatever it is the casting was amazing and will live on a being the greatest TV show ever.
