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.. - Page 2

Strikta · 11-13-2013, 11:08 AM

Charles S. Dutton btw

Joe Metts · 11-13-2013, 11:10 AM

The Corner is the shit.

TK Carter gives one of the better acting performances ive ever seen.

Strikta · 11-13-2013, 11:17 AM

Yeah, he was awesome in it.

Fat Curt was dope too.. & the dude who played Gary.

Fran was also good.

Very dope mini-series.. I actually watched it a few weeks ago.

Surviving the Game was raw as fuck.

Frank Metts · 11-13-2013, 11:41 AM

Black people hate Season 2. I thought Season 5 was the worst because the newspaper scenes seemed unnecessarily thrown in just to spite David Simon's former bosses. It's too neat how the newspaper almost never was mentioned on the show, then it became the biggest story line for the last season. Still, you have to watch it to reach the conclusion.

And you absolutely need to watch Season 2 to see why the major shifts in Season 3 happen. I won't spoil it. But it suffices to say that the biggest plots of Season 3 only make sense in the context of Season 2.

That's how The Wire works. Nothing stands alone. Every plot began before the viewer gets dropped into it, and every plot continued after the show ended. It's about a cycle.

Frank Metts · 11-13-2013, 12:08 PM

Season 2 is a whole set up season it's necessary but can get boring but after you see season 3 and 4 you understand that if someone was to just watch season 2 they would hate the show

It's all relative. One of my best friends says Season 2 is the best, probably because he comes from a family of blue-collar laborers.

I'd move Season 4 up to first place but otherwise agree.

...the Nagger · 11-13-2013, 12:27 PM

you guys don't understand

season 2 was needed for the docks

but season 2s characters SUCK, that's the prob. the characters and the character plots are abysmal

I didn't like Ziggy, but besides him, the characters were fine. Nick's girlfriend has A-plus tits. Beadie, Vondas and The Greek are good characters. And the scene with Jimmy and the prostitutes is the funniest.

...the Nagger · 11-13-2013, 12:47 PM

I didn't like Frank much

or the whole "union" bit with the fat guy

and ziggy is actually why I didn't like the entire season

I was so glad when he left the way he did it actually fit him and it made me feel good to see him go away

PancakeBrah · 11-13-2013, 12:56 PM

Nick was a solid character. I think the dad. Forgot his name. Plus Method Man.

...the Nagger · 11-13-2013, 12:57 PM

oh yea I did like cheese tho
