School auditorium full of murdered "corner kids" is a chilling metaphor for the entire season.

"This is some shameless shit". 🤣🤣🤣

Every time I watch this, I think the Bodie/Jimmy scene is the best one. Then the Wee-Bey/Bunny scene comes around. What’s most remarkable about this season, and the reason I think it’s head and shoulders the best one, is how it ruthlessly humanizes all its main players, except maybe Marlo, who is pretty much a monster. The use of the kids’ storyline is so key to all of that. It’s impossible to follow their stories without wondering what all the other characters’ childhoods were like. There’s an unspoken thread between Bunny and Wee-Bey in their scene - Bunny is acknowledging that he very easily could have chosen Wee-Bey’s path without straight-up saying it, which is why it matters to him that Namond doesn’t. You see Bubs’s grief over Sherrod, and don’t get me wrong, it’s genuine grief and shame, but he’s also grieving his own lost childhood. This is the season where the parallel tracks of cops and corner boys old and young runs closest, where each sees the humanity in the other most clearly, and tries to touch it. They don’t really replicate it in Season 5 imo. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. Speaking of Season 5, you guys might hear some griping about it. It’s probably the least beloved season by the fans. But for me, all the stuff people hate about it is what I love about it.

I watch the scene with Bunny and Wee Bey so often. Both actors absolutely kill it, you can feel the weird comradery they have, like the only reason Colvin convinces him is that he really isn't judging him. "Who you are, and all that you've been through." Definitely the most human we see Bey, and pretty crazy that he's the better parent. Super excited for Season 5, it does get a little whacky, but some of the character stuff is amazing, and you're gonna really like the new angle.

The kid who shot Bodie was Michael. Yeah, it came full circle with Wallace. The system is broken, and everything hinges on individual people's acts, whether bad or good. No season makes it clearer than this one. Prez can't change much within the schools stats system, but he can do some good with Dukie (and his class). One act from Herc (or actually, him failing to act) can set a train in motion that wrecks Randy. Bunny can't change anything meaningful, but he can save Namond. It's only the individuals that decide to act, it's never the system. Their acts never change the system either - just provide some respite - and they always act on their own morals, against the odds, and sometimes thankless and without renown. Cutty, Bunny, Prez, Lester, Kima, Bubbles, Michael, Carver. This season hits so hard. The wall with the names - can't even look at it.

You two have some of the best Wire commentary... Salute

Btw, fun fact: I believe it's canon (though not really mentioned) that Randy's father is Cheese.

I can't wait for Season 5, but I'm really bummed that the show is ending. I think the Bunny Wee Bey scene is my new favorite scene of the show. Incredible filmmaking

Robert Bauman

Agree with most of what has been said, this is the best season of the show IMO. It does an incredible job of explaining how some of these characters that are criminals ended up in their situations in a way that makes you feel sympathy in some ways and wonder what could have happened with their lives in alternate universes. It's like threading a needle for any of the kids to not go down the wrong path, and Namond is the only one it happened for.

Robert Bauman

One thing that always struck me about Bodie is how he feels and is treated like an old man, despite the fact that he is, at the oldest, in his early 20's. The harsh reality is that he is an old man in the game if you think of all the characters we've seen that didn't make it to that age. He was clearly a sharp guy , so the focus on the school kids in this season makes you wonder about his path if he was born in different circumstances too.

Robert Bauman

S5 is a bit polarizing, you'll understand why when you watch it. I do think it provides an interesting new institution to look at and ultimately wraps up the show well though. On an unrelated note, I recently started watching "Bosch" on Prime and the actor who plays Marlo has a secondary role as a detective. Took me a few episodes to get used to him not being a a terrifying sociopath! There are also several other actors from the Wire who pop up, kind of fun to see them in other roles

A season so strong that it never even made me feel the absence of so charismatic a character as Stringer Bell. What a journey for these four kids, in the space of a single year in their young and precarious lives. Who could've predicted that Namond is headed for better things, while poor sweet Randy is now going through hell. Great scene with Weebay & Colvin matches the pairing-off we saw earlier with Omar & Bunk -- two sides of the game, lamenting how it's not like "we" knew it anymore... More parallels across the line of the law, reinforced yet again with Bodie & McNulty.

Not only Stringer but Jimmy was barely in this season! The Weebay and Bunny scene will always stick with me
