3>1>2>>>>>>>>>>>4=5
4 and 5 are fine, but if they had stay cancelled at the end of season 3 like nearly happened it would have been the clear best show ever imo.
>Black folk are actually just victims of circumstance chud! Ignore the fact that it was the previous generation of Black folk who created those circumstances! They were victims too!: The Show
Great show with true narratives. Shows the grey areas of both the police and the criminals and how both are controlled by forces too large to understand let alone break free of.
Omar: "Now see you shoulda played that out. That's the only way you gonna learn."
I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where Omar 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.
Boring as frick, The Shield will always be better
1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5
don't (You) me
ive just finished 1 2 and 3, 3 was the peak so far at least imo
3 and 4 are generally agreed to be the best seasons, that ranking is just meme contrarianism.
with a show like this i feel like any season could be valid for the #1 spot, considering how consistent the quality is.

there were barely any wires
big if true
wasn't there a wire every season?
Le Blackerino show had to be considered the best ever because israeli-owned media.
t. not mishpuca and not coming for Yvette's brisquet on shabbos
It's a shockingly rare case of HBO not cancelling a show and maintaining the quality until the very end.
A little too pretentious at times and has a disappointing final season, but otherwise amazing show.
it's popular with normies now so it's not cool to like anymore, too mainstream
It's the opposite? people have forgotten this show even though at the time everyone went on about it being one of the greatest shows on tv
>called the wire
>not about wires
dropped
it's about wiretapping
Greatest piece of American fiction so far this century
the chess scene? blew my fricking mind
>Black folk are actually just victims of circumstance chud! Ignore the fact that it was the previous generation of Black folk who created those circumstances! They were victims too!: The Show
Nice narrative you made up in your mind
You've literally never seen the show if you came to any other conclusion.
>your mind on /misc/
>your mind on /lgbt/
it's kino, simple as
season 5 was shiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeet
Great show with true narratives. Shows the grey areas of both the police and the criminals and how both are controlled by forces too large to understand let alone break free of.
Made me want to start slinging crack, looks comfy
>30 to life in prison
>comfy
Just two days anyhow
>extra horseradish
just when you thought the man couldn't be any more based
overrated
mostly white people that like it for its epic black characters
So how's Baltimore doing these days? Surely it got better after one of the greatest shows of all time unpacked the problems of the city?
i've heard the port is doing well
it got worse
Woke bullshit. Shoehorned lesbian from the start, no thanks. Go woke, go broke.
Good but still mugged by breaking bad
>le magic detective black man
>le autist frickup whose a genius
>le black lesbian badass
>le supergenius trainwreck detective
full of dumb tropes
not portrayed as you describe them
