OPINION The Wire - A Hindsight Discussion

Agreed. But the co opt didn't put a stop to Marlo when it could have. And Marlo dismantled the co opt.

Ultimately, it didn't work.

That was on Prop Joe not Stringer…..Stringer would have never introduced Marlo to the plug

Stringer went in person to invite Marlo into the co opt. Totally misread the man in front of him.

This is where I can agree with you…. At this point , String only saw good business and thought Marlo would see the good business opportunity and take it

String understood what dropping bodies means to a criminal org and no matter what he was never going to go war w Marlo

String didn’t know Marlo to understand that he was a gangster before anything

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Stringer respected the game cuz he didn’t even try to step on Prop Joe s feet about the plug

Season 2 is still my least preferred season.

5 wasnt as bad as people made it out to be

Both are ass. Ziggy and the dock was the absolute worse of season 2 and the newspaper people were the absolute worse of season 5.

I liked 5 better than 2.. by a wide margin.

The newspaper/media shit was interesting as hell to me.. Showed with the right light on some shit these assholes that claim they cant do shit manage to find a way when people are lookin and attention is focussed on it.

All in all.. each season showed a piece of what makes things work in the game

Kenard was a lil psycho too.. I didnt remember they were torturing a damn cat and when Omar rolled up everyone ran off except Kenard.. He was still putting lighter fluid on the damn cat

season 2 is a slow burn but it’s probably better than 5

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Season 2 is dope af to me

So is season 5

in what way?

Lester Freeman wouldn't have fabricated evidence. That's one of my main gripes of season 5

My man was by the book for 4 seasons and then out of nowhere he's doing that silly stuff following McNulty

 

[Chi-Town B]

I could have seen Bunk going down that path with Jimmy but not Lester and even Bunk was disgusted

I mean 4 years of trying to do some shit only to get blocked at every step might lead some folks to try to take different measures. Im not justifying it.. but its easy to see how the best investigator out of the bunch might be pressed to make a move like he did.

Like folks have said in here already Kima was the only straight shooter and police who wasnt crooked
