I'm currently watching the last season and what the frick is this bullshit serial killer mess? And what the frick is up with these cringey accents they do?

Just finish the series homosexual. How does telling us you are watching help you in analysing it?
You're currently in the process of being filtered.
Season five is the best season.
I'm in the process of watching it and so far it's the best season in conjunction with 4. I don't understand why the frick you ask?
It's so stupid.
I'm trying to finish it but it's hard.
You're weird. This is the best show I've watched in a burst since The Sopranos.
Confirmed zoomer. Are you morons incapable of finishing anything you started?
5 > 2 > 1 > 3=4
4 is kino
Name one kino thing about S4
Prezbo
>beta wh*te guy self-insert
Next.
>I don't like S4 because muh politics
Next.
Prezbo getting respect from the black students is the most unrealistic part of the whole show
He could be the greatest teacher in the world and they'd never pay attention to him. In real life, the only thing going through their minds is "frick whitey"
name one not kino thing about S4
5 > 4 > 1 > 2 > 3
Season 1 > 5 > 3 > 2 >>>> 4
2 > 1 > 3 > 4 > 5
>mfw people think the serial killer shit is "too unrealistic" but are somehow totally fine with fricking Hamsterdam
it's a tv show, not a documentary
How is Hamsterdam unrealistic? Many cities have "no go" zones that the cops ignore
How are corrupt cops, corrupt political leaders and dishonest news outlets unrealistic?
I don't understand if The Wire is liberal or antiliberal with Hamsterdam. In a way it's saying the combat of drug use is flawed but then it says the method used by the major was ineffective in the end
Yeah it's almost like it's nuanced or something.
>I don't understand if The Wire is liberal or antiliberal
t. mindbroken moron
I didn't get the idea that the show was trying to portray the hamsterdam method as either positive or negative. They did a pretty good job of showing the pros and cons of such a strategy in a mostly neutral way. The real message is that with limited resources you'll never be able to eliminate the supply or demand of drugs.
Maybe not even the resources but legalizing the production and distribution would end with the indirect crimes committed by the drug dealers. When Barksdale was in Prison and Idris Elba was in charge everything was going okay because he knew deaths were bad for business
>When Barksdale was in Prison and Idris Elba was in charge everything was going okay because he knew deaths were bad for business
That just gave rise to Marlo and much more killing though.
moronic americans trying to shoehorn reality to fit their stupid and unrealistic dual thinking ideologies.
It's an ironic metaphor because they literally do this in majors cities but no one actually knows because who cares? lol
This is clearly not the show for you. Stick to things that reaffirm your biases and don't challenge you in the slightest.
this is your brain on politics and goyslop
Not like the show had any politics, right?
it has politics for grownups, not the same
So you skipped those parts then, I see
Stop saying stupid things
What's funny is that David Simon is a huge Leftist, even though The Wire showed all the Democrat politicians to be corrupt shitbags, just like in real life.
Based on the show you'd think he would've been smart enough to realize that small government libertarianism is the only way to allow black people to help themselves.
But instead, he chose to be a moron.
4>2>1>3>5
But they're all great season
also Marlo is a shit villain, the end twist of the kids becoming the already established characters is stupid
brother muzone or whatever the frick his name is was the point the series finally shouldve ended, basically an anime at that point with absolutely moronic writing
>also Marlo is a shit villain
He's not a villain.
>the end twist of the kids becoming the already established characters is stupid
It's brilliant.
>brother muzone or whatever the frick
Yeah he was a bad idea but he's barely in the show for like three episodes total so who cares
Why is whatever you criticize shit. Let me guess you are a low iq homosexual who can't back anything up with valid excuses. Typical 'it just is.. ok' argument.
brother muzone is a guy walking around with a handgun (and a fricking book) with a reputation of being a cold-blooded, intellectual killer in an environment where most people just get shot from behind in a dark alley
it doesnt make any sense, same as omar living for so long instead of literally setting up a honeypot for him and shooting him up (which they do, in season fricking five)
him walking around in an area where literally everyone has a gun but isnt using it on him (for some unknown reason) is absolutely moronic
the only thing redeeming about omar is that his death in a shitty convenience store is actually believeable
for a show grounded in reality the wire has some seriously shit writing sometimes and the shit REALLY stinks in comparison to the rest of the (very well written) show
Finally someone with some commen sense joins the thread
Please don't reply to your own posts.
i didnt
Nice shop
Mouzone is from New York moron. He is a hired specialist whose name stands out. You don't walk up to him and shoot him because he is not some stupidly written character. Plus its much better to run than to get into a pointless gun fight with such a character. People don't just shoot each other because they have a gun especially not people in the same turf whose bosses have cautioned them against pointless gun violence and who are afraid of both dying or losing their jobs because they disobeyed their bosses. Omar dying the way he did is poetic because only a kid who had been barely a year into the game didn't know enough about him to spare him. Plus he wanted some street cred.
>they just dont shoot him, because you dont do that ok?
lol
lmao
>they should just shoot him, because that's what you do ok?
Kek, look at that I can be an idiot too
>brother muzone
You do realize the brotherhood of islam is a real thing right? Besides he's not my favorite part of the show either but he's in like three episodes and none of them are in Season 5
>(which they do, in season fricking five)
It's actually tried several times over the course of the show. One of them is in the first season. He outsmarts and outwits them, generally. In season five Marlo's crew got lucky. Or Omar got unlucky, take your pick.
>him walking around in an area where literally everyone has a gun but isnt using it on him (for some unknown reason) is absolutely moronic
Reputation is a powerful thing. That being said, plenty of people try to kill him over the course of the series, so I have no idea what you're talking about. It's only the hoppers and stoop kids who scatter whenever he shows up.
the guy literally announces himself with a whistle and runs into a project with tons of people carrying guns and doesnt get shot
yes its cool, but it doesnt make any sense
It's very established that the reason why it works is because he shows up early and stakes the scene out beforehand to make sure there aren't any surprises waiting for him.
Besides, you think someone couldn't have just walked up to Al Capone and shot him? He ate at the same restaurant every day. Everyone knew here he lived and he spent lots of his time in public places in broad daylight. There's a reason why no one did. Reputation is a powerful thing and most people are cowards, regardless of (or even especially because) they have guns.
>they dont shoot him, b-b-b-because you dont do that, ok??!?
Maybe try reading a post before you reply to it
this is literally your entire argument
He stakes out the place you fricking idiot. And he covers the exits too and he has a ducking bullet proof vest. Why would you engage in a fight with someone like that when he is only robbing you and not trying to kill you?
Al Capone's era was different. Things changed after they locked up the leaders with RICO. Now it's all about getting street cred for killing someone that's already known as a gangsta.
Are you an actual black person? Youtube is filled with dumbass comments about how Mouzone is realistic because NOI people are superpowered by bean pies.
It's not hard to imagine an ex military guy become mouzone. He is probably being paid top dollar by barksdale and he comes highly recommended. It's funny how your Black person hate can't allow you to see this obvious implication so you resort to the brainlet tier capeshit excuse when he is only shown to killing one man and injuring another.
I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns! What an incredible metaphor!
It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the symbolism of this.
Do the later seasons continue on with such masterful symbolism? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.
Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents
Dare I say am I picking up on some sarcasm here? If all you got from that scene is that the lower level drug dealers are the pawns, that's on you.
First day, huh? Welcome summerfriend.
peppah steak
You[re supposed to stop after season 2.
ayo lock that door
The serial killer plotline isn't even the worst part, the worst part is how they rush to resolve it in literally 5 minutes in the last episode.
The season was rushed, blame HBO who only gave them 10 episodes.
The show was co written by David Simon and Ed Burns, in the last series Burns left. Have to imagine Ed was good at reigning David Simon in and without him there he was able to go full moron.
All multi season american shows fall apart towards the end, with HBO it's always during the last season.
Not going to get into it with the butthurt gays replying to every criticism, the serial killer thing was terrible and a tremendous amount of screentime is wasted on characters going on about it, having a fake case in the final season of your show about wiretap cases is just bad.
The zodiac was a manufactured persona where the only link between the cases was the link between Dave Toschi and Paul Avery, then when that feel apart, Paul Avery.
