I've not really watched The Wire.. Neither have I really thought about how far the writers went to make it as authentic as possible either until I read this..

How haven't you watched it yet? Season 1 and 3 the best. Season 4 and 5 were good but not the best. Season 2 was a bit of a stinker, the whole dockyard storyline wasn't as good as the ghetto.

I've heard about it, just thought it was overhyped 'till now. Guess it's a classic example of hype aversion tbh... Better late than never, right?
And I've seen some eps here and there, but never cared enough to actually get into the plot etc. Fuck me for sleeping on it..

Word. But I got to inform you that if you were in the assumption that I was alone when I was watching some random episode you were wrong. Contrary to popular belief I am actually not a loner, and I do in fact take TV-series and movies seriously.. I just never thought that The Wire seemed to be as great as people claimed from what little I did see of it. But as new information come to light I got to give it a second chance and my original post is a strong indicator that I wont be disappointed.

yea, it was really real. a lot of everything that hspprn was during the 90's. I believe ny had a 0 tolerance wave in like 95ish or so causing many of them to migrate dwn to bmore. it was cool until they started trying to take over blocks, steal doods girls & go balls wall hard being stick up artist. Bmore heads pretty much wanted to put a stop to that. many of the characters portray are real people in bmore.
my parents tried to keep us out of it but w. the schools I went to I've always had reasons to be in the city. |

I think it's very much needed.
It's a vital part of Baltimore & what makes the city go. It's how the Greek got the heroin into the city to Prop Joe... then to Marlo. |

If you want to see super duper authentic, watch HBO's mini series called the corner ... The wire is real, but the corner is the best look you can get into the bmore drug epidemic.
For real the corner is better then the wire |

Yeah they only list him on shows he was the dept head/lead for which is sad because he's worked on soooo many movies including like enemy of the state, for richer or poorer hell just about anything in the pa,va,dc,md and some NY stuff He met method man and called me like " hey you like rap have you ever head of Clifford smith " and I was like nah ... Then like a week later I found out Clifford is meths real name smh |
