Especially in a world that profits off the division, beef, and fighting it's good to see Black people show love and support. Salute to Snoop. EDITED: Rest In Peace Michael K. Williams.

[@187mrsmith]

She was the real life version of her character This is a situation of art imitating life

[@lancegoodthrust546]

Love The Wire. And I loved Felecia's character, Snoop. Nothing cliché about her at all. She was just another part of what made The Wire the best cop show to ever be made.

[@TheWireFan-ur7wq]

Michael Iravani The Wire is not a cop show. CSI Miami is a cop show. Hawaii Five-O is a cop show. The Wire is a Gritty Urban Drama. With intelligence and great writing. Although CSI Miami and Hawaii Five-O were made with bigger budgets, greater camera technology and had a high paid cast. The Wire offered something much different and more real... The Streets...

[@lancegoodthrust546]

TheWireFan2002 As a fast category , I alled The Wire a cop show. But I would NEVER lump it in with CSI or Hawaii Five-0 . And I think the show is deeper than a realistic portrayal of the streets. I hold up The Wire in the same regard as work of Shakespeare. The character development and story addicting.

[@TheWireFan-ur7wq]

I agree with you on what you said there. T.V at its finest.

[@lancegoodthrust546]

TheWireFan2002 I have yet to meet someone who did not like The Wire. And I will admit I came in late to the game when the show was ending.

[@TheWireFan-ur7wq]

The Wire is just one of those shows that is just masterful. Like you mentioned, It is like Shakespeare. A classic in history.

[@stonejackballer482]

Never thought I's see Snoop tell Omar that she loved him

[@markusackermann2367]

She impressed me more in the first few seconds I saw her on the WIRE than most movie actresses during their whole carrer. . She is a magician. Who can give her any acting lessons? Really

[@ShiddyKong]

She's definitely saying that she wants to branch out and change as a person though so I see why she wants to get acting lessons

[@tonystarks6113]

She was always my favorite character from the Stanfield crew. She a little bit more cold blooded than Chris but not quite as smart. She was more like Wee Bay was to Avon while Partlowe was more like Marlo's Stringer. I still stand firm on my belief that Avon would have reclaimed West Baltimore if Stringer didn't set him up to be busted. Slim Charles had the whole Stanfield crew in his sights outside of the rim shop before Barksdale got busted. I just wish Michael would have given Snoop a pass and not wigged her. But it had to be done. I get it. I was hoping they would make a spinoff show about Michaels rise to power as all of Baltimore was up for grabs after the Co-Op fell apart.

[@jason15212]

100% true

[@StayFrost224]

I think Partlowe was more like Wee-Bey he had a conscience just like Bey. Snoop in the other hand doesn't really compare to any of the Barksdale crew she was an enforcer simple as that.

[@AKhellbindeR]

Agree about Michael. I like how his time on the show ended with him basically turning into a young Omar.

[@StayFrost224]

Poor Duke was tragically Bubbles.

[@tonystarks6113]

No doubt. I didn't see the Dukie thing coming until it was too late. I always thought he would rise up. Guess the show was more true to life than I imagined.

[@mtobrien1]

Michael was trying so hard to uplift others, bring a higher meaning to his life. For it to end the way it did, him perhaps struggling to live beyond the Baltimore streets himself, was too tragic. A person needs to find meaning. Was he struggling to find work, to make a name for himself that went beyond his momentary fame in The Wire? I don’t know. All I know is that it’s a tragedy he’s gone. He was an obvious good man, someone who cared for people like “snoop.”
