The Wire 4x04 Full Reaction
Comments (22)
I'm three episodes into re-watching season 5. I know I'm in the minority here with this opinion, but I really prefer it to season 3. Each to their own of course, very interested to hear what the girls have to say.
I don't think you're in the minority to be honest. I think a lot of people consider 3 to be a near perfect lead in to season 4 but S4 is often labeled as the best of the show. I hear a lot of people say they didn't think the show could get better after s3 until they watched this one. Either way it really is among the pinnacle of tv imo and Lola and Milena's incredibly intelligent and empathetic reactions have if a possible further enhanced this show in my eyes
Being a wire fan is rough waiting for the edited to drop lol but we built for this shit hell we already survived this show 😂
And here I am so pathetic and have watched the Wire so many times I am able to know what they are reacting to just based on hearing it in these versions lol. I really wish the versions of HBO Max synced up better
Damn holidays are near.. I can’t believe we have only 3 months left in this year
I would rather watch these full reactions for this show, but syncing it up doesn't work right for your reactions. And yes I've looked at previous comments on what to do but it still doesn't line up right. Plus it's too much to keep doing every time. Also HBO Max's clock counts down instead of a counting up like your timer which makes it hard to line up. You guys should also do a countdown before starting and maybe show a blurred out version of what's playing to help line it up too. To keep it real with you I know people who will show the entire reaction with a link that opens up in Google Drive and things like that.
This 100%
Going to wait for the edited on this time around, looking forward to it! 😁❤️
god weve been waiting the whole week, hope the sunday video gets released nevertheless :(
Omar Vs. Marlo......and now it begins!
Seeing as both of you are math students, I thought this article was topical: https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/at-13-baltimore-city-high-schools-zero-students-tested-proficient-on-2023-state-math-exam
can i pay more for early-early access? lol. i so want to binge all of these right now.
Any earlier and you'd have to watch it with them, and edit it too. ;-)
the subtle way they reveal Michael's demons is great, and hits harder than if they were heavy handed with it.. and im sure there was probably help for Michael that would have normally been available, but there was an election going on when it happened.. that apparently is the excuse that covers everything
Yeah Cutty has been coming on strong ever since noticing Michael's talent in the gym, good catch seeing how Michael is super uncomfortable with this.
Y'all are some of the only reactors I watch where I never have to wonder "will they notice this?" for non-trivial moments or details. Thank you for how seriously you take these stories and characters, and how consistently perceptive and attentive you are. :)
I love how Lola reacts like she is getting stabbed in the chest whenever we see Michael being kind and nurturing. I feel that way as well. Makes you appreciate that he is that way despite his difficult life.
Marlo, hmm…. If you were under any illusion as to the type of person Marlo is then this episode would have cleared up any uncertainty. He lost the poker game so felt the need to re-establish dominance against the poor security guard. Having him killed because he “talked back” is an indication of a ruthless, sick, and very insecure individual. I enjoyed seeing Omar jam his gun into Marlo’s face - he could have done us all a favour and pulled the trigger. But at least he took the ring to remind Marlo of his own vulnerability. Murders on the show have taken place because of a perceived threat - i.e. Wallace, D’Angelo, Sobotka, etc; or accidentally (Prez) but the security guard was just an average Joe Shmoe doing a 9 to 5 job. He posed zero threat to Marlo. At one point he jokingly says if he continues to lose at poker he’ll send Chris to kill the other players. But was he actually joking…? Speaking of jokes - the practice of getting truant kids to attend class one day per month so the school retains its funding is a complete joke. A whole system on its ass. So, four episodes into S4 and each episode has closed with the boys we’re following and each closing scene provides insight into the type of person they are. I wonder whether L&M have a favourite (you’re not allowed to say Bug!). Episode trivia… This episode was written by the novelist Denis Lehane who also wrote the movies Mystic River and Shutter Island. Also, he is (or was) a teacher.
You may not be glad watching Season 4, but you’ll be glad you watched it.
You know what.. that’s a beautiful way to put it.
"And now, back to our regularly scheduled misery..."
If you have time I suggest you to watch episodes 70 and 71 of HxH together
