The Wire 2x05 Reaction

The woman who was the real estate agent at the place that Nick and his GF were looking at was McNulty's ex-wife btw.
I disagree with Milena just a bit. I always thought Stringer had the book smarts but Avon is an empathic leader who commands respect in a way that Stringer doesn't. I was really impressed with Avon wisdom when he gave that speech to D in the first season talking about their uncle who was in a coma. I think we agree that they are wonderful foils for each other.
There's already been a clear instance of Stringer fucking up big time when it was obvious to Avon i.e. Orlando buying dope being a setup. Avon made Stringer look really stupid when he pointed out in so many words "where's Orlando going to get that kind of dough?!" I've seen a lot of people watching this show somehow end up with 'Stringer smart Avon dumb' which really isn't the case at all.
I know it's too early for that but after you finish 'The Wire' I recommend you to consider 'Homicide: Life on the Street' for a future reaction series. It's not as well known and critically acclaimed as 'The Wire' but it's also about Baltimore and based on David Simon's book who is one of 'The Wire's showrunners. It's also 10 years older and more focused on police work and crimes solving rather than 'The Wire's more ambitious overall outlook at multiple failing corrupt institutions but it's still very good and has similar vibe. Great actors as well, especially Andre Braugher. There are some great episodes and memorable scenes from this series that can give Wire run for its money in my opinion. Especially with some notable guest star appearances like Robin Williams, Steve Buscemi, Vincent D'Onofrio etc.
Nastya is short for Anastasia, and it's my mother's name actually.
bednaya nastya is in fact a Russian show that aired in the 2000s
I am glad someone helped her out. I was wondering and I live in South Africa hahaha
I absolutely love revisiting this show with L and M because their post episode discussions are so interesting.
There's so much to discuss. The show doesn't really have a protagonist, antagonist, hero or villain (some notable exceptions being Omar on one side and fucking Marlo on the other). Really though, the protagonist is the city of Baltimore. All of the characters and their interactions drive Baltimore's story. So it's not only discussing the scenes and the characters, but how they affect the city as a whole
Uh the wire and this early…? Something ain’t right （−＿−；）
It's not your fault. Shit went bad and The Wire took two for the company. That's the only lesson here :)
Are.... are we the Rawls to the girls' McNulty?! 😰😂
