The Wire revisited (with spoilers)

It works on a much smaller scale (Baltimore can stand in for urban America, but New Orleans is such a sui generis town that it can only ever be New Orleans) but it works, and it helps answer the question that The Wire left hanging in every viewer's mind: What if Lester Freeman were a Mardi Gras Indian? And, of course, the music's superb.
Haha without knowing much about america to be honest i would have to take your word on that - but the music, yeah, so so good. I was singing Indian Red for weeks afterwards

Love Khandi Alexander in it and Wendell Pierce's character is even better than it is in the wire.

I only watched it, for the first time, this year.

The second season feels so authentic, I just loved every single moment of it. Without thinking, these are my five characters:

Marlo
Bodie
Bubbles
Ziggy
Duquan

My absolute favourite, stand out scene is the opener to season four, Snoop buys a nail gun.

This here is a gun powder activated, 27 calibre, full auto, no kick-back nail throwing mayhem.




Just thinking about this made my day better.
