The newsroom story arch is one of the shittiest from an otherwise great show.

The worst would probably the Langrishe Theater company in Deadwood.

I agree with your ranking of seasons though I might make 2=3 because I really liked season 2 as well, but 4 is the best and 1 is not far behind it for me.

my favorite cops were lester and carver

my favorite street person was Slim Charles

What do you think the cheese themes signify

There's a guy called Cheese

Omar says "the cheese stands alone" in one of his first few appearances

Cheese calls Bodie a cottage cheese chest ass mothafucka

That one teacher in Season 4's called a cheese faced bitch on atleast two occasions


Bad writing by a person who uses the same word too much?

don't forget the hot sauce!

i seriously recommend giving the show a second watch. you'll catch a lot of things you missed the first time through.

like how Omar is so strict about following the rules he doesn't swear and he doesn't even walk on the grass.

or how Bodie gets got. the guy who shoots him moves like a Knight in reference to the classic 'pawn' conversation from S1

wow lol the bodie thing is pretty insane.

I wanna rewatch it one day for sure, the show takes you through so much and it took me 2 months to watch it from beginning to end so I can't wait

what single thing upset /frustrated you the most about the show?

for me it might be Herc continuing to succeed in life despite being a constant fuck-up and how his mistakes affect so many people but him. ugh so frustrating. especially WRT Bubbles

that or seeing Dukie turn into the next Bubbles. that was so heartbreaking

what was the most heart warming thing? for me, it's easily Bubbles getting clean.

Herc's actions are the most frustrating thing for me. he started the chain of events that fucked up Randy's life, and we see how Randy turns out. then at the end he seems to have no reservations about playing for both teams, and the fact that he willingly works for levy is the worst.

as for upset, I cried at the scene where Mike drops off Bug and Dukie because I had actually read what happens to them at the end which made that scene really hard for me to take knowing how Dukie turns out. then seeing Dukie at the end becoming Sherrod and Bubs is heartbreaking. the scene where he asks Prez for money was crazy, Prez sees that Dukie is acting like a typical drug addict and the dialogue between them is so awkward compared to before. then the fact that Dukie has Prez drop him off where he lives with the junkies was so bleak. those scenes were so hard to watch for me. the fates of Randy, Dukie, and Mike hit me really fucking hard

for heart warming I agree with that. I also liked that carver started caring more about being a good cop. jimmy picking up Larry at the end was also nice. Namond is doing well under bunny's care. Poot getting tired of it and working a proper job. I also really liked how Cutty redeemed himself and it sucked there wasn't more of him in season 5

People don't like season 2 that much, but I do. I think it's my second favorite after 3. Ziggy was kind of annoying, but I felt bad for him and he was likeable in some ways.

Also: Slim Charles > Everyone

The pawn that made it across the chess board. "That was for Joe".

ziggy's arc makes me sad. he just wants to prove himself and be something but at his core he's just a fuck up and he knows it as well as everyone else, but he wants to show them that they're wrong, but he fucks up again and big-time. his last conversation with his dad where he accepts his position in life was heartbreaking imo, and made worse by the fact that his dad dies shortly after. that whole family was destroyed

and seriously, Slim Charles is underrated imo. he comes in during season 3 and makes such a big impact by the end

Ive rewatched the entire show 5 times or so at least. Specifically watched seasons 2 & 3 way more than that.

What's interesting is that early in the series, Avon's crew was known for being ruthless and untrustworthy.

I think for TV this is easily the best TV show I've watched. it made me realize how cartoony breaking bad really was and while there's nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't have the same feeling as the wire

Someone told me that there is a girl that

buys drugs in Hamsterdam in season 3 with he friends in a fancy car, shows up later as a prostitute in Andre's corner shop, and then shows up as a reformed addict during Bubble's speech in season 5?

I didn't notice and am trying to find a video of her online.

I know who you mean. Could only find the rehab scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj0IrLTJ4b8


In Season 3, she gets chatted up by a dealer (don't think he's named) that eventually gets lured into a vacant and robbed with a bunch of other guys. Pretty sure it's the cold open for one of the episodes.
