Season 3 was on another level! Genuinely can't wait for Season 4. From characters like Avon and Stringer, to new ones like Marlo and Brother Mouzone..this world and it's themes continue to amaze me. Realism to surrealism. Nothing is quite like The Wire.

Season 3 is genuinely amazing but season 4 might be the best season of television I’ve personally ever seen. The new institution they focus on there hits the absolute hardest.

The scene with Avon, Stringer and Slim Charles is one of my favourite in the series. It really demonstrates the dynamic between Avon and Stringer. String may have book smarts, but he lacks common sense. He has power in the organization only to the extent that Avon lets him. The second he starts to get stupid, Avon effortlessly asserts his authority and Stringer walks out of the room in shame. Meanwhile, Slim Charles quietly watches. I wonder what kind of man Stringer would have become if had been born under different circumstances.

“Middle Ground” is an all-timer. Also, the reason that episode reminds you so much of a novel is because it’s written by George Pelecanos, who was a novelist before he came onto the show. The penultimate episode of every season is written by him, and they always hit hard!

Alexander

You asked about the writer in ep. 11 -- it was written by George Pelecanos, a crime novelist from DC. All of the next-to-last episodes are written by him.

The final scene between Stringer and Avon on the rooftop is the best scene in television history IMO. Just the build up over three season toward it, giving us backstory as to their relationship, and cementing their innate differences before the greek tragedy that is the end of their stories. All superbly acted by Elba and Harris. Perfection.

“I think I just witnessed the best season of my life” I felt the exact same way until I watched season 4 lol

This season was also about reform with Stringer and Colvin as the two analogues, trying to reform their institutions that cannot be reformed from the inside. Right down to their last words being the same ("Get on with it, motherfucker."). Then you also had Slim Charles' conversation with Avon being a metaphor for the Iraq War, which was happening at the same time as this season ("The thing about war...if it's a lie, we fight on that lie.")

James Edwards

Season 4 is about to hit you like a ton of bricks.

Man stringer's death definitely hit hard. I like how he tries to weasel out of it, one last time only to realize the game is the game. Went out like a man. That scene with Avon was basically the "last supper" between them. Episode 11, 10/10 for me.

The beauty of Stringer and Avon is that Avon is violent but ultimately a good person. He’s a soldier and going to war but he has a code and a moral compass (Sunday truce, family first, giving money to help the youngins at the Gym). Stringer is not violent, he isn’t about that street life and beefing but is not a good person. He breaks every code an honorable man would have (lying, conniving, setting people up, torture, etc.) Stringer represents that street life that doesn’t just leave because you walked yourself from Druid Hill to Capitol Hill. He doesn’t land in his new world and ultimately fails at both, loses the war or at least his battles, gets played by the state senator, and gets caught out without his gun. Even Omar at the very end tells him “you still don’t get it!” There are lines that he crossed that you can’t, buy, or lie, or narc your way out of…it’s about respect and credibility. He lost his credibility on the streets and sold it for respect that he never got in the political/business world. Such a beautiful juxtaposition of characters and morality

Jesse Trovato

Oh I’ve been waiting for this scene all season but I could never remember when it came. Cutty going in there spitting his sales pitch about a gold circle membership then he has the heart to ask a man like Avon if he’d like the silver or bronze package. The beauty of the scene is that we as the audience have the misdirection of thinking Avon is mad about being asked for money but then the relief of him giving him everything he needs PLUS 50% more because 15k is nothing to him. The initial problem is that why would a man like Avon getting ready for war take the time to be pretend frustrated with Cutty, he’d just congratulate him and move on. But the real beauty is that on second watch you see he’s frustrated with his name and picture on the wall. So the “why are you bothering me with this shit” is coming from that and not the audacity someone would ask him for 10Gs to help the community. It’s shows the greatness of him and Slim Charles (Pusha T) that they’re smiling knowing on some level they’re doing a good thing. Of all my wire memories that scene I never forgot.

RIP Stringer, that misguided snake of a man. Trying to revolutionize the drug game, while himself being just a community college level man, who only feels smart because he is surrounded by idiots. Barely a gangster, not a business man - a man without a country. The game was too dead set on it's ways, to be changed. And Stringer's constant need to double-cross anyone who got in his way, finally caught up to him. Him going behind Avon's back and killing Dee and having Muzone hit, meant that Avon didn't see him as someone to defend. I am 100% sure that if they were on early season 1 terms, Avon would have taken a hit business wise, to protect his brother. But killing Dee and confessing it, meant that Avon didn't go the distance to protect him. Avon is a monster too. He is a drug kingpin, who has had witnesses killed, among other crimes. And yet he understood the game, and you could always take his word on something. So even between two bad people, Avon was a gangster with a code, while Stringer was a confused, overly ambitious, under qualified, snake of a man. Still, he is one of the top tier TV villains, because of his complex nature. There is a certain danger about a man who thinks that he is super smart, and then it turns out that he actually isn't all that. He was a great villain because of how many sides there were to his actions.

When you get to the end of The Wire you will feel a big empty void inside of you that longs for that same level of storytelling. The good news is that after they finished producing The Wire, David Simon and most of the same crew went on to make 'Treme'. Its characters and themes pick up right where The Wire left off. It's a shame that it wasn't as big of a hit as The Wire, but I don't think that made it a weaker show at all.

James

Great reaction and commentary throughout! Fantastic season as well. Season 4 is something extra special, so I know we're all looking forward to it after the break. I'm already in my feelings about it and I haven't seen it in years. You were really enjoying the dialogue and writing in these last two episodes. In my opinion, the very best dialogue in any show of any genre, hands down, is Deadwood (another HBO show from the mid 2000s). The dialogue in every episode is almost equivalent to a Shakespearean play. The protagonist Al Swearengen is unforgettable and unmatched. I would definitely put it on your radar if it isn't already.

The Wire & Twin Peaks are the two best shows of all time... Although fairly different in tone and style! lol

Matt B

Completely with you. This is my first time watching as well and it really is just the best. Can’t wait to get into season 4 and 5

Mike Ayres

I’m looking forward to you watching S4. It’s my favorite season of The Wire and maybe my favorite season of TV period.

MR

Season 4 is not personally my favorite, but I have a suspicion that for James it will be.

BT

Is the wire release every week? No wire for a while...
