Jay Harper Some people still won't figure it out though. So who do you think was eviler, Avon or Marlo? Or do you see they're both the same type of evil? I know I do.

[@thatpart]

PONCHODAGOD Marlo had this disturbingly calm and clear vision of endgame. The only thing that stirred real emotion is when someone used his actual name when they spoke ill of him. It's like a pure form of evil, not tainted. American dream turned on its ear.

[@denismartin4525]

Not sure about that. But would have loved an expansion of Brother Muzone's charactor. If you looking to fascinate yourself with the game, I'd agree with your statement. But a guy like me, much rather look for the representation of the full spectrum of what brother's all about to include brothers like Bro Muzone. Growing up in Brkln, and hanging out with my college buddies, I know brothers who fit the Bro Muzone profile . Many of whom have become attorneys and now members of profession. It would have made for real good television.

Every scene matters in this show. The Wire one of the most beautifully written, acted, and realistic portrayals of the social commentaries and dysfunctional institutions that betray most of these characters. If this show is being used as curriculum in universities than you know the significant importance that The Wire has bred on the sociology,politics,education,economics,and media.

[@TheWireFan-ur7wq]

Chris Martinez I was only joking. I took that quote from a Barrack Obama parody. What you said in your first comment is 100% correct. In fact, I believe that several actors from the show visited Harvard in Massachusetts to speak to students about the social aspects that The Wire had to offer. Like every season showed a different type of decay on society in Baltimore.

[@StayFrost224]

Was the parody on SNL? I think I heard that before haha. Yeah man this show had an amazing message, the education system in season 4 was the best imo.

[@TheWireFan-ur7wq]

Chris Martinez Nah I heard it off a video on YT. I think Season 3 was the best because of the Barksdale - Stanfield war, but Season 4 had the best message. The decay of the Educational System and the neglect of the Urban "Street" kids.

Stringer lied to Omar, said mauzone tortured his boyfriend to spare his life when omar got him the first time. Mauzone was Avon's boy, and so stringer double crossed him both.

[@bobmiter3045]

Bunch of low lives? They are the real gangsters as opposed to the small time dope fiends who work the streets. I think the realism of the wire is over exaggerated wi characters such as the Greek and Brither Mizoune being completely out of place, as well as Omar strolling the streets without getting shot for so long.
