Discussion
I know this show has probably been discussed to death, but I could not refrain from starting another topic about how utterly superb The Wire is.
I am pretty late to the party but feel fortunate that I still have four seasons to go.
I urge anyone who has not watched this yet to get a copy and devote hours to it (put the subtitles on!). I pretty much felt every emotion possible when I watched Season 1 - anger, futility, sadness, laughter, hope and lots of air-high-fives.
It is the best thing I have seen.
SPOILERS BELOW
- McNulty picking a drunken Bunk up from a random woman's house, Bunk in a pink dressing gown having burnt his clothes as 'evidence'.
- D'Angelo's chess lesson.
- Wallace getting killed (that was hard to watch)
- The shot up the stairs when they finally pick up Barksdale. You can see McNulty would do anything to take Stringer too but they have nothing on him. A look of pure frustration.
- Stringer saying "nicely done" to McNulty in the courthouse, the same words McNulty used in the first episode.
Just fantastic.
