how they killed off omar though

 
definitely one of the best tv shows ive seen

Before I watched this show everyone told me it was not only the best show on TV but probably the best ever. Usually when someone says that it gets overhyped and theres no way the show can live up to it, but it actually did. Great Show. And actually, me and two buddies who also love the show went to New York last year and randomly met Namond(I think its Julio) and Marlo(Jamie). My boy was actually scared to go up and talk to Jamie because of how ruthless his character is in the series.

Greatest show ever.

Its funny though when I tell people that are out of town I live in Baltimore, they get a scared look on their face and say "Is it just like The Wire?"

My-T.

^ how do you feel when people throw random lines from the wire at you???
I'm good for that, "You want things to be one way... One Way... You Want Things To Be One Way. BUT ITS THE OTHER WAY"

If I had to pick an ideal squad... String would be my right hand with Chris and Bey in charge of my hitters

nah man stringer was too smart for that drug dealer %*+$. plus i didn't like most of the executive decisions he made when avon was locked up. Plus stringer was so ambitious that I think eventually that would be a problem for whoever is in charge.

it's interesting though, would you want a right hand man that's smarter than you?

 

[seymore cake]

I actually agree with majority of the exec decisions that String made to tell the truth... Avon wasn't thinking business wise which lead to the situations they were in. String was trying to put them in a position to where they were totally insulated from that life and prosecution... He was right.

My Team:

Right Hand: String
In Charge of Muscle: Chris/Weebay
Luitenients: Monk
Corner boys: Bodie & Michael

 

[duba169]

that's true. stringer always had the best endgame.

One of my favorite shows of all-time. I was lucky enough to get the complete DVD boxset for only, 96 buck

.

Hands down, my favorite characters are Omar, McNulty, Bunk, Marlo, Michael, Brother Mouzone, Bubbles, Prop Joe, and Clay Davis.

Season 3 is my all-time favorite, it shows the end of era, Avon and Stringer empire and start of new one, Marlo and his crew.

At first, I didn't care for Season 2, but I got newfound respect for that season...and it show how the Greeks went hardbody and they were one of Prop Joe's connect.

[1stwitit]

this show just felt way to real not to be considered great.
the way the show came full circle at the end was awsome

 

[swizzc]

Slim Charles FTW

 

[infamousod]

 

[illionaire]

Right Hand: Spiros Vondas
In Charge of Muscle: Wee-Bey & Chris Partlow
Luitenients: Slim Charles
Corner boys: Michael & Bodie

 

[proshares]

One of my favorite shows ever. Highly appreciated. I honestly can't stand people who don't like this show

some of you guys in here are hilarious....

the wire is NO WHERE CLOSE TO SOPRANOS.... SOPRANOS is one of the best tv shows created EVER...

i watched the wire from pilot to last episode...it had its moments, it was good enough obviously for me to watch the whole thing...but some of you guys are getting carried away...

half you dudes probably think cam'rons movie shoulda won an oscar...

so many things that piss me off in the wire...the over-acted gangsterism is probably the most annoying...the forced 'yo-yo' gangster life is so horribly acted

then they try to balance it out with some weak greek gangsters...their attempt at trying to be soprano-@@+ in season 2 is laughable...

acting wise the wire is really bad...its because it was really low budget and most of the actors are just plainly not good

Seinfeld, curb your enthusiasm (although different genres), sopranos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the wire


having burst some y'all bubbles....

stringer, avon, and slim are probably some of my fav characters, along with mcnulty and that fat detective whose always laughing

 

[blackmagnus514]

Right Hand: Marlo. Dude is ridiculously cold and calculating in how he runs his set.
In Charge of Muscle: Wee Bey
Lieutenant: Slim Charles
Corner boys: Michael & Bodie
Brother Mouzone as contract killer.

This would be my same squad.  You would put fear in the hearts of any crew on the street.

 

[airmaxpenny1]

I'ma flip it around, just cause I know everyone loves Street %+%# and all...but if you had to make a cop lineup, who y'all choosing?

Police Commisioner: Bunny Colvin
Lieutenant's: Freeman, Daniels, Carver
Detectives:McNulty, Bunk, Kima
Dolja: Dozerman, Brown

...I'll add Chris to the muscle, he was more level headed than Bey imo

R.I.P. to your city.

Except the distict got remarkably safer after the creation of Hamsterdamn...He was the only Cop who wouldn't play the bureaucratic game, and do what he felt was necceary to make the city safer, not actually just be a puppet who took commands.

 

[airmaxplus]

the wire > sopranos. a video to explain....
