find a flaw
>>
>>63969875
Everything about the show is ugly depressing and dirty
>>
>>63969936
too realistic isn't a valid criticism
>>
>>63969964
it's subject material is nothing but ugly, dirty, depressing, stank, shit--that's it's flaw.

season 3

>>63969875
1st season pretty slow 2bh
>>
Season 4 & 5
>>
Dominic West's accent slips a bit.
>>
mcnulty and omar kept getting away scot-free with too much shit in their respective fields

mcnulty wasn't even that good a detective, and omar's character couldn't possibly have survived as long as he did
>hurr he is based on a real guy
he's actually not. simon got the idea for the character from a real guy he read about once. thats about it. none of omar's storylines or character traits reflect the 'real guy' whatsoever

season 4 was best season what the fuck

Lol wut?
The dude Omar is based on is actually on the show

Terrible heavy-handed lines like "No one wins. One side loses more slowly."
Season 5
Brother Mouzone
Whenever it tries to be stylish and abandons the low-key aesthetic established, it comes off as laughable.
Lack of subtlety, really overstated.
Some of the acting is sub-par.
>>
>>63971342
look him up. guy was basically just another crack dealer who ratted on everyone to save himself
>>
>>63969875
The lesbian police woman was just boring desu
>>
>>63971451
>lack of sublety
Are you fucking out of your mind?
It can't be as subtle as a show like Mad Men because the Wire tries to be as realistic as possible.
>>
>>63971451
>Brother Mouzone

i love this series but this is the one thing that annoys me, it was supposed to be realistic, what the fuck was this guy all about?
>>
>>63969875
>womencore

Season 5 was poor. I'm showing my dad the wire, but telling him it ended after 4 seasons to save him the pain
>>
>>63971920

What was wrong with him?
>>
>>63969875
>find a flaw

It's not LOST
>>
>>63972148
why was he wearing a suit and reading shit when he's a hood nigga? he'd have been shot while he was reading
>>
>>63972306

Wearing a suit because nation of islam, not getting shot because having a bodyguard and a rep
>>
needed more CIA
>>
>>63971342
>that scene where he's singing the Temptations
10/10 shit right there
>>
Its not generation kill

all good points (and i liked the wire a lot)
>>
The first three episodes aren't immediately gripping and you have to stick with it
>>
Not interesting and boring
>>
>>63971920

I don't get people complaining about Brother Mouzone being unrealistic when there was a wisecracking gay superhero outlaw roaming the streets

yes I know it was based on a real guy

just watch some documentaries about nignogs of detroit if you want "reality" so much
>>

i see, thanks for pointing that out

>>63974681
>wisecracking gay superhero outlaw roaming the streets

kek, although omar was pretty smart, i agree he would've been killed pretty much instantly in real life, but it was still interesting.
>>
>>63969875
it gets boring after the first season

Season 5 was shit, after how amazing season 4 is (best season ever in my opinion), the writers shit the bed in season 5.
