"omg black people are so oppressed"

there you go. that's the wire. "one of the greatest shows of all time" my ass.

It is very underrated, only the first 3 seasons are decent and even then only for ~30% of the scenes, its a paramount+ show

to be fair you can be reduce absolutely anything into disparaging snarky phrases, even the greatest pieces of fiction in history

>"omg teenage boy is acting emo instead of taking revenge"
>"omg ancient roman's public opinion was easily swayed"
>"omg jealousy can be fatal"

Yup, I'm thinking it's time for my quarterly The Wire rewatch

>kino makes the adhd autist seethe
many such cases

>>211358312 (OP)
yeah its just "noo poor blacks have to live in ghettos and do crime but they are good boys actually" i mean wtf. they also completely ruined mindhunter s2 with the groweling and appologizing to blacks every episode to the point the show got cancelled because it was unwatchable. but somehow the wire is le best of all times kek

>>211358595
I mean, it's specifically not what the wire is about. The shows makes a huge point of structural factors, yes, but it never erases individual agency. Hell the whole Bunk vs Omar dialogue was explicitly about that.

OP is a faggot

Mogged by Sopranos everytime

It's been a long time but my take away was BLACK CULTURE IS FUCKING CANCER.

>>211358847
spot on

>>211358847
What a stupid message. It's all about genetics. The cancerous culture is just a byproduct.

>>211358920
Genetics takes a backseat to environment

So you didn't watch it, is what you're saying.

the entire show is literally just people talking

He was based in Oz

>that moment in the first episode when the old guy gives the middle finger with both hands

so fucking cringe. gave up watching the series after that

>>211358481
That’s just /tv/ in a nutshell

>>211358312 (OP)
...bit reductive there kid. Did you sleep through it?

There’s a lot of adhd zoomers who have been filtered by this show and it’s very funny

>>211358312 (OP)
>You wouldn't get it

>>211358847
You're either lying (to yourself) or you didn't watch the whole show.

Slopranos is the same thing but for mafia

Yes, they found my sopranos box set

Low empathy is a sign of low iq

Ya know, Quasimodo predicted all this

I fucking hate lunchtime rowdies as much as any red blooded human male should but that does not sum up the wire. Actually shows the crab bucket mentality and the few nogs that actually try to fix things and be decent
