"I hear them walthers, like to jump some".
"As will you"
"With one in your elbow".

I’m pretty sure this show takes place in the same universe as the Sopranos.

The main reason that the Wire is such a fantastic show almost 20 years later is, aside from the incredible acting, the fact that it shows how life really is. Cops doing their jobs get shut down by management for office politics, good hustlers die even when they did what's right, no one gets out of the game easily. Politics in the capital, the police, the streets, the schools etc. Everyone has a story and they are all connected. The show was real.

“Bunk: Boy, them Greeks and those twisted-ass names.

McNulty: Man, back off the Greeks. They invented civilization.

Bunk: Yeah? Ass-fucking, too.”

Great show

They forgot, “there you go giving an f*ck when it ain’t your turn to give a f*ck.” - Bunk to McNulty and the McNulty back to Bunk😂😂😂

"Nigga, is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?"

Still can't believe that man's British.

R.I.P Michael k williams & lance reddick

each episode of the wire is a doctoral thesis in sociology.

"Do the chair know we gonna look like some punk ass bitches out there?"

The Wire is a show that would've been groundbreaking and amazing if it came out today, and it came out in twenty years ago.

I miss a Quote from the Denis (cutty) - Duqaun (Dukie) conversation were they mutter about leaving Baltimore. That concept also pops up in a convo with Joe Proposition were Joe ponders the fact that east-side gangsters in quarrel flee to the west side and vice versa 'Why don't you flee to NJ, NY?"

“Worrying about you be like wondering if the sun going to come up” - Omar

I remember watching this video like 100 times when I was in 8th grade and loving it, despite having no idea what the wire was or what it was about. Last year I finally watched it as a 25 YO man and loved it. Don’t know why it took me so long

ShhheeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeeEeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeet

The greatest show of all time
