Brother Mouzone was such a badass character. Dude gets shot in the stomach and doesn't beg for his life doesn't curse out Omar just starts quietly praying. That one exchange always makes me chuckle Omar: Let's go in from the front. Brother Mouzone: I'll bet that's the first time for you.

One of the best scenes is the 5 second of Rawls at the gay club. Totally mental and unexpected and changes his whole character in my view. Amazing TV series and never got public recognitiion it deserves, although 20 years later I think most TV aficiandos have seen it and admit its brilliance.

3 is the best season and contains the best scene of the series, the one where Avon meets with Cutty and Slim and ends with him saying about Cutty "He a man today." It was fantastic in many ways, showing the history and future of the characters. It was the pivotal time when Avon decided to ignore Stringer, stay a gangster, and ride out the life in the game. When Avon asks Cutty "If you're out of the game, what else are you going to do? You don't know how to do anything else", it was the same question he had been asking himself...what would he do and who would he be if he took Stringer's advice? Avon also shows tremendous respect for Cutty wanting to be completely out - he offers him a role providing advice but not pulling the trigger but Cutty does not want that. Avon contrasts Cutty's full renouncement of the game to Stringer's half-in/half-out proposal where he and Avon give up their power but stay in the game by financing the transactions. He gains respect for Cutty's strength and loses respect for Stringer's wishy washy approach. Also, Slim Charles shows his loyalty and respect, trying to cover for Cutty and ultimately staying by Avon's side. He has learned how to be a soldier from Cutty and how to be a leader from Avon. It will serve him well when ultimately he takes over for Avon at the end of S5. Love your reviews - hope you get deep into the Wire as there are a lot of things you could cover. Would love to hear your perspective on this scene as well.

Dominic, we are hewn from the same block….three of my favourite shows of all time….so as we have that in common, can I make a recommendation to you, it’s called Mr Inbetween, it’s on Disney (of all channels! But only because they bought Fox studios). This show is SUBLIMELY good. Each episode is only 25 minutes long, but it’s packed with so much story. It’s clever-funny, dark, and poignant. Of worthy note, it’s written by the central character Ray, whose never acted before….this guy puts in a performance to rival that of Gandolfini as Tony, and that’s not hyperbole.

So glad you have got on to the wire its my favourite tv show ever. I often hear the comparison between the sopranos and the wire and for me the overall quality and complexity of the wire puts it just above. I'm glad you spotted the fact that if people are not prepared to give the show a chance to grow then its not the show for you, the creators are interested in telling a story not pander to people who want an explosive pilot or as you said weekly cliff hangers or other tricks mediocre shows try. The real character of the show is the city of Baltimore and the creators clearly know the place very well not to mention many of the characters are based on real people that they met and even a few who were criminals and went on to act in the show. Oh my best scene is when D shows the hoppers how to play chess just awesome writing and acting.

I've seen the series a few times now and know all the pieces (which matter) by now, my first watch I had a really hard time getting started because it never hooked me at the start. One day on like my 3rd attempt to watch the show, it clicked somehow. I was in the mood for really paying a lot of attention. Once I got that far it grabbed me. But the first watch I for sure felt like a detective myself, chain smoking and paying absolute attention cause I eventually noticed if I didn't I could easily miss crucial stuff. The way you watch the show for the first time forces you into an investigative mindset and that's pretty cool.

i replied elsewhere now about this. basically a lot of this 'green screen' is digital editing they had to add in when they were transferring it for high definition and widescreen format, the original format was for square TVs and there were things like crew and equipment in the shot they had to composite out. but overall they did a bangup job with the transfer, and much of the show that was filmed more cinematically was given a huge boost. i'm sure it wasn't cheap or easy to do all that.

In regards to the 'new camera': the original show was not produced for widescreen format, but for 4:3 aspect ratio TVs standard at the time. up until a few years ago, this was the only option available, until they did recompile and edit the show for high definition. As you can imagine, the transfer process was slow and laborious, and there were problems that had to be fixed, such as crew and equipment being visible on either side of the frames. These shots were digitally altered many times, compositing different elements into the frame to make up the difference, so to speak--inserting a tall plant, perhaps, or extending a black doorway that covers half the frame. This is likely where some of the slightly jarring image quality is jumping out at you, at least some of the time. Not every shot had to be re-edited this way, many shots in fact were greatly enhanced by the switch to high definition. Think like the wide angle crane shots in Season 2, and elsewhere, that were shot more cinenamatically. Anyway, I know this because I watched the show in 4:3 the first time, and when they made the transfer it was a perfect opportunity to rewatch it the first time.

This review is just as good as your review of Season 2! Before your review, if I had to ranks all seasons from most favorite, to least favorite, this season one would be last on that list. Here's why: I was too depressed to see that Colvin's experiment was not handled with more positivity. In one of the episodes when the Mayor's office hears about it, it's suggested that they keep it going but with needle exchanges, and on site drug counseling/treatment. I mean after the war in iraq and the lies that were told to get into iraq, the war on drugs is my biggest and longest running gripe about my country and to see what I saw as an opportunity to expand on the obvious benefits of decriminalization to be ... not quite _wasted_ but not entirely capitalized upon, I saw as wasteful and thus a little depressing. But you've turned me around, and I appreciate it a lot more! Thank you!

What some people see as a weakness of the show is what I would say is part of what made it great. The series was written using authors of true crime novels. So in essence we are watching a book in visual format. I like this because like a book, it does not hold your hand and you have to pay attention to the details to get the payoffs that be book holds. The payoffs/callbacks can be seen in the same episode, episodes later and even seasons later For instance in season 1 when Bubbles was going to the soccer game with McNulty, he said "it's a thin line between heaven and here". Flash forward to season 4 and there is a scene where Randy is walking across the street to church and he looks down the street and sees Bodie and others selling drugs.

Ppl still haven’t realized what caused the violence in the drug trade . It was getting products on credit… and having to pay it back by a certain date ! This pressure created tremendous amounts of stress on street dealers . Thus any hustler that slows his flow ? Is jeopardizing his ability to stay in business or survive sometimes… otherwise, there was enough out there for many dealers… it was the pressure of sales within a timeframe. Like credit cards … no pay by the first ? Late fees, interest, credit rate, eventually no credit. No credit today ? Affects job , renting, insurance rates … it’s insane . And all over what ? For what? Junk rags not worth 1/10 of what is owed on it … but like the shitty toxic worthless drugs ? Manufacturers gotta get rid of the merchandise to customers to make money … now ppl with money ? Aren’t likely to buy junk . They have important things to spend it on . But offer credit ? Hey … what the hell I’ll just get these boots 🥾 and pay it all back . Like … yo you wanna buy some coke ? - naw man . I gotta pay my rent. Ok, how about a line on me ? - oh ok ! Shit felt so good now he’s ready to buy a bag of sniff . The dealers and users might be local . But just like the manufacturer of them boots is unknown? So are those that planned designed, manufactured, transported, the drugs are too. And in some cases they’re the same ppl too.

Season 1 is my favorite. Season 3 gets a little flashy and pop-culturey; Season 2 is good but not as good as Season 1; Season 4 is so deeply emotional it almost overrides the meticulous detailing of the previous seasons. And Season 5 is the weakest of the bunch - but it's still the best fictional entertainment ever filmed.

Funny it was the opposite with me, I found it odd watching Carcetti becoming Little Finger different and fun to see.

I love The Wire and The Shield, but...IMHO they are both bettered by Hill Street Blues - the grittiest and realistic cop drama ever. The dark humour and intelligent dialogue (by Deadwood's writer David Milch) were incredible. Every episode had you laughing, crying and feeling disturbed by how low humans can be. It didn't shy away from anything and was uncomfortable viewing at times as well as creating fantastic but flawed characters. It won 26 Emmy awards (98 nominated) and won FOUR consecutive wins for Outstanding Drama Series. I urge anyone who likes the The Wire to give it a go.

The white mayor was meant to parallel Martin O'Malley who was unexpectedly elected mayor of Baltimore shortly before The Wire debuted.

Great criticism of Carcetti. Season 1 proves that "realism" can be dramatic and engaging, so there's no reason a "realistic" politician can't be a better character. I really didn't care about his underdog story in the election.

Rawls does admit to liking a bit of a kink now and then but isnt in to biting homeless guys. I always thought that line was a bit of a nod to the bar scene.
