looks like all the gnostic subtext went completely over your head. what a pleb!

I think you missed the point of the scene.

Barksdale isn't as stupid as the other hood rats.

can he sell shitty crack at twice the price?

"Corruption and incompetence exists in all institutions" - you know this good and well.

another contrarian thread for (you)s

I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns! What an amazing metaphor!

It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.

Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.

Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.

This pasta is so bad I cant believe it's been going for so long

The game is fucking rigged

s1 was pretty bad but s2 I dropped the show even though I thought it got a little better.

I'm sure its got some well meaning and high quality commentary or whatever but did the show have to be so fucking boring?

Not enough zombies and laser-breathing dragons?
