Agreed. I've only watched BB twice and while I loved it the first watch it was honestly very boring the second time around.I just rewatched it for the 4th time. Probably the best television show of all time.
At the time I watched breaking bad and it was incredible, riveting, consuming. But I have 0 desire to rewatch it.
Theres something special about the wire that makes it re-watchable time and time again.
I'm a season 2 guy. Season's 1 and 3 are fantastic as well but I like 2 because it show you how Baltimore ended up the way it is and why it'll never come back.
She was an actual gangster who killed someone, did the show, and got busted for in 2011 for trafficking drugsSnoop was a cold little chick
My favorite all time! The show was incredible and well written. But just as impressive to me is that the series is really about demonstrating how societies problems have outgrown our institutions ability to deal with them. The police department, government, schools, the press are show to be very ineffective.
The Wire is the Goat. Thinking about watching it for the 3rd time.
Sopranos is GOAT but Wire is right there.
The Shield motherfuckersSix Feet Under is the GOAT.
Rewatching The Wire for about the fourth time and I'm almost through Season 1.
I had never really appreciated this scene before but it jumped out to me this time round as a great little character moment.
When Kima gets shot, Rawls shows up to the scene and he is in his element.
He asks what his Sgt. needs and clears the scene of all unneccesary bodies. Then he instantly breaks down the crime scene and sends his detectives exactly where Wee Bay and Little Man fled the scene. Then he snaps McNulty out of his daze and gets him up and moving again. He even finds time to be a dismissive asshole to a DEA agent who's just offering support.
Rawls is a piece of shit in a lot of ways, but you really see in that scene that he got where he is by being a good, experienced detective and a natural leader. All despite being a closeted flamer.
Really interesting multi-faceted character that has usually just annoyed me in past viewings.
"He used my name....in the street? Talk MOTHERFUCKA!"
Marlo losing his cool because despite being loaded, the streets and the game is more important to him.
I wish I could wipe my memory of the show and watch it again for the first time. GOAT.
I always liked the scene where Chris Partlow kills Michael's father, it's so brutal and without saying any words it tells you so much about Chris' character. You watch it and you're just like "Oh shit! That guy was clearly molested as a kid." Also, he loses it so badly he leaves his DNA behind and it ends up being the murder he gets put away for in the end.
Great show.
