the way jimmy looks at stringer as his destined rival, the moriarty to his sherlock, is always so funny. just the theatrics of him confronting stringer in a printing shop is so melodramatic and in character
If anyone is curious, the podcast Reply All put out a few good episodes about policing statistics Compstat and it's origins NYC, successes and failures. Episodes are called "The Crime Machine"
Such hypocrisy. Real strange...
what is my blud waffling about
An almost 80 minute vid and we ain't even into the REAL good stuff?? Mannnn this is gonna be one of the BEST series y'all have ever reacted to I swear
Them judging carcetti for littlefingers sins makes me so sad
/Jon Snow accent "You're not guilty of your father's crimes"
"Play the next immediately" , oh yes ladies now we are in the territory of peak The Wire, put your seatbelts on, helmets in, keep your feet in the ride and away we goooooo!!!!!
@9:53 the way Milena says she's invested in the criminal world even shows itself here when she quotes Avon with out realizing , The police are currently a little slow, a little late and that's all it takes to lose in The Game
You're correct that the reason why the missing gun is such a high priority is that it makes the police look bad. That's a recurrent theme in the series. People making decisions based on what will make them look better, tougher, etc instead of what will actually do the most good or cause the least harm.
Not that every episode before this wasn't great, BUT we are now at the highest level of greatness from here on out, the rest of this season and ALL of S4 are peak television. I particularly can't wait to see your reactions to next episode and episode 8, episode 8 has literally the best ending to an episode ever!!!!!
Stating specific future episodes you're excited about is a covert spoiler in my book. Stating specific parts of future episodes you're excited about is an overt spoiler in my book.
Wire reactions from yall literally one of my favorite forms of entertainment right now 😂👍🏾
They picked the perfect point of the season to start binging
Also I love the way Marlo has one face to face meeting with Stringer, takes one look at him and immediately sizes him up perfectly as not being a ‘soldier’ and makes the snap decision to tool up for war.
Yeah that scene was great, Stringer was constantly talking, carrying the entire conversation, trying to get ANYTHING out of Marlo. And Marlo just stands there stone faced and easily wins the exchange.
Season 3 is so good, damn. Whenever I re-watch it, I'm reminded why it's my favourite season. I love seasons 1, 2 and 4 to death, but something about S3 just does it for me.
First few episodes of each season are always really deliberate and slow, and even though they’re enjoyable sometimes it’s still such a tease that you begin to want them to get to it, but then you get to like episode 5 / 6 and when things start heating up you’re so glad they spent all that time building it up properly, cos it’s what makes it hit so hard
I will click this one fast before anything else happens!
I'm assuming it's quite late over there, so thanks for the upload!
