[@nawfr223]

Manner I had to go watch that scene again

[@omegathirteen13]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Jermaine played Dook so well. The kid had heart, so much heart. He'll always be one of my favorite characters from the season.

[@BrooklynsFinest_]

The Character Kevin on BMF reminded me of Dookie. It was really sad to see what he went through because he was an innocent civilian… same with Dookie and the other kids. I grew up in the 80’s in NYC, we all had a “dookie” and ”Kevin” in public school and those young men never had a chance. Since the wire, media have been showing young men in this light without and resolve on how we can help them be the kings that they are. We all see the emasculation of the black man but it is up to us to make sure these young men grown up to live in their purpose, avoid sucka shit and have knowledge of self.

[@Bre-dm8go]

Omg yes his character broke my heart watching his downfall was hard

What makes this show amazing is because EVERY single character had their own story that we were invested in. We can give credit to the writing but the actors took it to another level. Glad to see you guys still rocking with each other. It’s like a high school clique reuniting and reminiscing. This was so needed!!!!!

[@bunbeezy8434]

It was great to see them give Jermaine his praise for the work he put in with that character. He deserves an award for that role but it didn't get looked at as true art because the wire was just labeled a black show but it was truly a masterpiece and one of the greatest show every so many amazing characters and stories.

[@loved1280]

So true. He did a wonderful job and it the show was a masterpiece

[@thebarbieinvestor5428]

I mean his character in particular has stuck with me out of any of the kids. I forget he was literally a child killing it like that! Randy’s too!!! Coming out of Bmore I guess is why ! Those kids still running around the city😢😢😢😢

The scene where Bunk visits Randy in the group home is my fave ... just because when he was a kid, Randy wasn't street smart enough to know the games cops play ... but in the group home, he kept his mouth shut and knew how they operate, since Carv had told him he would look out for him, and he ended up getting beat up and landing in a group home

[@emmanueloppong9778]

Craziest part about that whole part is that it was showing Randy turn into Bodie. Every kid had a parallel character by the end of the show. Dukie became bubbles, Namond becomes Clay Davis (They even had Clay Davis and Namond say the exact same line at different times). The writing on this show was something else.

I love everything about this. To see yall grown is crazy. To be an adult and we all in the same age range is even crazier. This show was life changing

[@RellyJuiceJones]

So, I first started the wire live on season four. You four were my introduction to the whole series. I’ve rewatched the show multiple times since then and I always have the same feeling when I start season four: this is the new generation of everybody that is a main character on the show. I could sit here and go on and on about it but, I just want to say that I’m proud of y’all from where you started to where you are now. It’s amazing to see these photos and videos from back then and hear these stories. Dookie was an intricate character on the show and it was truly heartbreaking to see him fall into the loop rather than get out of the hood and become something better. Randy and Namond’s stories I think kinda played out the way most thought and Michael, I knew was going to be the next hitman. I wish they had developed another season with more on y’all’s characters but I’m glad they didn’t water it down with more seasons. I hope the next time y’all get to record a “reunion” that Tristan gets to pull up. I met him randomly while he was filming “swagger” and I was ridiculously hype. Peace and blessings and continued success to you guys

[@TheBlackAbstract]

Nammond is the same 😂😂

[@anataye88]

It's so amazing that one series can cultivate over 20+ years of great conversations. It was that phenomenal of a show. Layers upon layers to unpack. Season 4 was my favorite. It brought home how much ones childhood plays such a crucial role in who someone will be as an adult. I am so proud of each and every one of you guys. Many blessings to you all for years to come ❤

"It's just business."

[@defragsbin]

It's hard to pick a favourite season of The Wire, but Season 4 may well be it. I've watched and re-watched it at least 5 times, and you guys gave it so much heart. It's crazy that I can watch something where you were all just kids, and at no point do I stop and think, "this is just acting" -- it feels completely real. The casting was perfect, and all of the characters could've had successful lives had it not been for their circumstances. Season 4 being focused on the kids also reminds me of Ella Thompson (RIP) from The Corner and all of the people out there who make the sacrifices for their community that keep the lights on. David Simon and Ed Burns had done so much legwork by the time they wrote The Wire that they could join up so many parts of life seamlessly. It still amuses me that they smuggled The Wire into HBO as a police procedural. Thanks for being part of making the greatest season of the greatest television show.

Reflecting on this podcast and reminiscing about "The Wire's" portrayal of children navigating the gritty streets of Baltimore takes me back to my own upbringing. Growing up in Harm City, I forged strong bonds with friends and associates who eventually went their separate ways. Yet, those of us who remain always find it easy to reconnect, speak on the ones we've lost, meanwhile slipping back into our carefree ways and boyish endeavors whenever we're together. Recently, I returned to town unannounced and unexpectedly encountered a childhood friend in traffic. Despite the late hour, we found ourselves pulled over immersed in conversation, standing on the street corner, observing the pulse of West Baltimore at 1 am. It's not the safest place to linger, but he's my buddy, and time is ticking away; we're not getting any younger. Living out of state means I rarely see them, so it's a risk worth taking for the chance to catch up and reminisce about old times!

[@rhodabaruch4]

I was a bit young when the Wire came on, and for almost all my life since, I’ve been wanting to watch this damn show. I’ve watched so much commentary on it over the years, that if I spent that much time watching the actual show, I’d be done by now! Love this reflection y’all did! Keep it coming!

This was awesome! I loved watching The Wire and often circle back every few years to re-immerse in the storyline. Watching this felt like being a fly on the wall amongst friends just reminiscing about a point(s) in their lives freely. Not putting on a show for who may/may not be watching, being themselves. Us viewers got watch a friendship evolve through the characters in that season. To now seeing many years later into their adulthood, that that friendship is still there.

I got a chance to work with David Simon when I got out of the Air Force. I remember telling him that Boys of summer was my favorite season because that was the most relatable to my experiences growing up in New Orleans. I got hurt in Iraq in late 05. I went through 2 years of therapy at Walter Reed in DC and had 16 surgeries a Johns Hopkins but I'll never forget September of 06 when that season aired. It got me through a lot.

RIP to Omar and Prop Joe.. I remember when I met Namond in Time Square and season five was about to drop, I was soooo freaking intoxicated and I’m just like Hey Namond and he looked , kinda shocked, I think I might have yelled at him 😂but he was nice I asked him two questions about the show he didn’t answer 😂 but he did offer to take a picture but I was drunk so nah but he was sweet.

The 4th season is when I found this show. That was YEARS AGO! I now watch it every year! I love this damn show. If it was as big back then as it is now. We might’ve gotten more seasons.

I rarely comment on KZbin, but I watched The Wire for the first time back in 2015-16 or so. Rewatched it several times since. Easily within my top 3 of all time. Like many, season 4 is my favorite of the show, and seeing this was so cathartic in many ways. As someone within the same age bracket, having pursued art as a career and having done art for a few documentaries, I related to so much of what was said here. Didn’t even know about this until seeing Ziggy post about it. Just gained a new subscriber, and wishing all of you the best. It’s been great seeing all of you pop up on other Simon productions too!
