I tried once on my own to get into The Wire, and it just didn't grab me. I tried again with you guys...made it through 4 or 5 episodes and lost interest. I keep hearing how amazing the show is, but I don't think I have it in me to start it for a third time. Really looking forward to whatever series you chose to watch after this...seems like The Wire will never end though. Please tell me you're going to do a different show before S5?

no, Season5 is next...once they finish they will stop hearing about people insisting about the next season and it is really good so they want to finish it quickly instead of waiting all the time

this show is so good goddamn

I feel like Rawls is just a rat deserting a sinking ship.

I don't think it's an accident that both he and Landsman used the phrase "I carry the water" in this episode. They're cut from the same cloth. They're cockroaches who manage to survive, and why they survive is they play all the angles and keep their options open.

Seems like the sync went off between episodes on this one. Simone was a few seconds ahead for the second half.

hi Ken, yeah there seems to be a bit of a delay between us during recording and the sync is just a bit off one way or an other. we just reuploaded a new version of the video, hopefully its a bit better.

Movie suggestion with Dominic West (McNulty) in an amazing dance scene - Pride (2014) - comedy-drama, based on a true story, painful and heart-warming, a clash of cultures and solidarity in 1980s Britain. Would love to see a reaction to this, it's one of my favourites, but sadly massively underrated.

Jeff K

Surprised no one has mentioned yet: the two guys who come into Omar’s cell, the guy with the knife is Donnie Andrews - one of the real life inspirations for Omar.

The slur you guys aren’t familiar with is an Italian-American slur for black people. It comes from the Italian word mulignana which refers to eggplant.

Boris McGiver who plays Marimow as an unlikeable asshole to a T plays a really good character in House of Cards. I completely forgot he was in this show and I've to readjust to not liking the guy.

Pretty sure it was Bodie that hit the camera in season 1.

I really love this show and your reactions have been awesome. Hope for the next set of show you consider doing superman the animated series. It would be a good one for patreon only since a lot of the WB stuff is a pain to get edited for YouTube.

I think even doing the Patreon only stuff, unlisted and unmonetized STILL gets them in trouble with Youtube and the super draconian animation houses that absolutely hunt people down like dogs for even the slightest bit of copyright. Thats what I've heard anyways. You have to go basically off Youtube entirely to even react to lots of animated stuff, which becomes a huge pain.

While you seem to get this point for the most part, I feel like there still is a hint of treating the characters in The Wire in too black and white of a manner, especially when it comes to "unlikeable" characters like Rawls, Burrell, and Landsmen, who I would argue were never evil at any point in the story-- they are ultimately just a product of the screwed up system and what you need to do to succeed (or simply survive) within it. It should be relatively easy to imagine family members or relatives making the same types of decisions they do or having the same types of attitudes about rules and order, especially in a position of leadership. They're far from the truly morally bankrupt Clay Davis' and Maurice Levys of the world. And I mean, let's be honest, most of us certainly would not be McNultys in the same position.

Yeah, teacher Prez is great. I remember an interviewee on one of the DVD special features, a social worker or something from the city, saying she'd met people just like Namond's mom in real life plenty of times. How depressing is that? Also, I find Herc's ever-evolving ineptitude highly entertaining:)

Chris Truex

Yeah, the Wire is not and was never intended to be a morality play. Morality in real life is not a meter that goes higher or lower

Daniel Bjork

Fun fact: The dude that comes in to Omar’s cell with the shank is the real life person who the character Omar is mostly based on. His name is Donnie Andrews.

Michael Kang-Beats

I've watched The Wire all the way through at least a dozen times and I just thought about how Prezbo probably had no business being a teacher after blinding a kid's eye with the back of his gun.

The Film Effect

Damn, now we have to wait another week for the next two.

I still feel like Herc is in contrast to Carver. I also had forgotten how many interactions Herc has with Valchek and see Herc as being on the path to be the Valchek of his generation -- someone who is kind of useless as police, but who has ambition and moves up the ladder through his own unearned self-confidence.

By the way, how familiar are you with Community and HarmonQuest? Definitely find even ambitious players don't know all that often about it and I think it's such a great accessible format for a live show. The Community episodes might somewhat stand alone (and whet someone's appetite if you haven't seen the show yet), although it's such a banger of a series I'd definitely recommend excess consumption - there's an idea for a novelty reaction. That or watching one day of 24 in one day. Either way, Dan Harmon and all the insane people with him ended up casually making some of the greatest DnD adaptations in their own right. Fully worth the trip. As for Hugh Grant: I take it Cloud Atlas is not a movie either of you have seen? All I ask people to refer to is the late Roger Ebert's review - someone I loved to disagree with as a curmudgeon, old, cranky man referring to choreography masterpieces like The Raid(s) as "video gamey" (which, to be fair, is something games these days aspire to, despite it being so very difficult to pull off). He nailed everything that makes this movie for me, it's the Wachowskis and Tywker at their best, it's actors giving everything, it's a production marvel on top of that, as if those people weren't already among the most competent filmmakers in the world. Sense8 was almost as big a treat for me as far as I am concerned, Speed Racer keeps being a blast, V for Vendetta is still ranking highly in terms of amazing visual adaptation efforts.... here's a poll idea for the future. I didn't particularly dislike the Matrix reboot, but it definitely didn't compare to most of their previous work. Either way, the Sense8 theme alone has drilled itself into my skull like nothing else, the first thing I usually play when sitting down on a piano, lol. It really, really felt great.

The previous mayor of Los Angeles was Eric Garcetti, its youngest mayor in more than 100 years. I wonder how many people were subconsciously influenced to vote for him by memories of mayor Tommy Carcetti. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Garcetti

John Richards

A Wire meets reality moment: The sermon that opens episode 4.6 is delivered by the then Reverend Frank Reid, and was filmed in his church. Reverend Reid was elected as a Bishop in the AME Church in 2016. And a footnote for George: Yes, there have been elections decided by a single vote, and in those cases if the losing candidate did not vote for them self, they must have felt like a fool. There was even on race for a state representative seat that ended up as a tie - they ended up flipping a coin to decide the race.

George thought Carcetti and D’agostini were in a public place, LOL. He’s obviously never been in a suite.

The irony of 'We are Family' as the victory song is not lost on any Baltimorean. The song was released by Sister Sledge in early 1979, and was the theme song for the Pittsburgh Pirates when they defeated the Baltimore Orioles in the 1979 World Series.
