The Wire 3x01 Reaction
the review: https://youtu.be/4IEQfkSiSSo
you just need to understand the work it took to post this episode. milena was supposed to edit this but then we realized that i had the footage to the reaction and she only had footage for the review and we鈥檙e currently on different continents, so thats why this is split, and in the midst of my editing this i got food poisoning so i was not having the time of my life editing it, and then i put it to upload 17 hours ago and it just finished uploading now

Watch Jujutsu Kaisen please
Damn, I'm so late to the discussion on this one, but I love that you're digging season 3 thus far. Despite my fatigue of seeing Aidan Gillen so frequently in shows/films, he's so good in this season that it was like seeing him for the first time again. I actually saw him walk around Donnybrook once on the way to college. One of my friends saw him the last time Radiohead played in Dublin, he was plastered 馃槄
Different continents?! Damn, now that's dedication.
Just want to say appreciate the effort to get this up while on holiday and sick. Look after yourselves and can't wait for the rest of S3. It is peak TV
I think one of Stringer's problems is that he's clever, but not clever enough to realize he's not always the smartest one in the room. One could also say McNulty has this problem. Being intelligent doesn't necessarily you won't fall for bad information or tricks like high control groups (which some gangs operate like) use. Intelligent people (however you define it, IQ tests and the like have a long history of racism) are very good at rationalizing their own actions, and can make people inflexible or unwilling to question their own biases.
And so, we have been introduced to 4 incredible characters in this episode. I can't wait for you guys to learn about them all. Also, it's easy to say burn it to the ground, but that doesn't do anything, either. I'm not convinced this is a societal problem, either, it's more of a human problem. I don't see things being handled better in Europe or anywhere else with similar problems. Not to mention, it's not that bad all over America, this is very much an urban, inner-city, problem.
Sounds like you're in India. Stay away from street food vendors
This is a borderline racist comment. There is no indication whatsoever that they are in India other than the fact Lola got food poisoning.
Pretty sure everyone loves when you share a bit of your own lives. It's not irrelevant at all :)
"I saw children. I saw children! I can't..." You've seen nothing yet :D
Please take a week break to relax if you need too. You two are constantly posting content for us so take a vacation and reset for once.
Man the more and more I re-watch this show, every time I am reminded of how stupid Stringer actually is. I think on first watch, because McNulty was so laser focused on him it made me believe that he was actually the smart one and the one to take down. I was so young when I first watched so some things flew over my head. Upon re-watch after re-watch though you start to understand that Stringer is actually not smart at all, and VERY delusional. That scene where he basically set up their meetings like a classroom is genuinely one of the funniest scenes in the entire show because you truly get to see that out of all the young kids and the adults who aren't higher ups like him in that room, STRINGER, the 2nd in command is actually the only one not talking sense, lol. I mean I get what he's saying about the fighting for territory is what causes dead bodies and that's what brings the cops, and he is absolutely right, BUT unfortunately that's apart of the game that just won't change no matter how much you want it to. The others in that room understands this, Avon understands this, and Stringer just doesn't. Lola was also 100% correct in that he is taking kids off the street who are taught the way of the game and expecting them to just up and start thinking like Businessmen who own companies, that is just not realistic. I genuinely loved Poot in that scene because he threw Stringer's illogical thinking right back in his face, which is why String got so mad.
I also view String as not the smartest but feel like that is a generally unpopular opinion among Wire fans. He almost certainly had a rough upbringing without a great education, and I appreciate the fact that he is taking classes to improve himself, but he doesn't seem to grasp the fact that a couple community college classes aren't going to transform him into a business savant. It is rather tragic- if he had a more privileged path I genuinely believe he could've easily been a very successful respected businessman in an alternate universe. One particular moment which is very small but always stood out to me is from season two: Stringer: "Be subtle with it, man...You know what subtle means?" Shamrock: "Laid back and shit." It is just a throw away moment, but it illustrates how Stringer views himself as smarter than everyone around him, when reality doesn't necessarily reflect that. There's other small moments which help capture this element of Stringer- for example his upcoming stock tips on phone companies.
hope you feel better! appreciate yall making this work but i dont want it to sour your trip. we understand the delays, just post when you can 馃憤 sidenote im surprised to hear this will be your first time seeing the National live given how often you mention them!
It's always amusing to me that since they have no idea who Method Man is, one of the most recognized faces in hip hop is just a forgettable random to them
the girls fondly reminiscing on Amsterdam made me smile. Weird coincidence when starting season 3 :)

Appreciate the heroic effort to get this one up. Enjoy your vacation!
"Cheese has shuch a forgettable face" lol, that's Method Man, probably one of the more famous people on the show.
I think I've even seen one of them with a wu tang clan shirt
Get better with the food poisoning!
