So the part of Dee Dee was a cameo roll that was played by Genevieve Hudson Price. She is the daughter of the writer of The Wire, Richard Price.

2025-06-02 19:38:05 +0000 UTCTokyo Vice is an underrated HBO show. Only 2 seasons, loosely based on a true story about a young American guy who goes to Japan to become a crime reporter and gets involved with the local Yakuza.

2025-06-02 15:32:12 +0000 UTCTHE SHIELD should be the next series. It's the closest you'll get to an Authentic depiction of the world we live in shown on a TV Show outside of THE WIRE. #TellemTANKseddit

2025-06-02 15:20:09 +0000 UTCNO. They (Chris, Snoop & Michael) Did NOT Kill the boy. Everyone in the home was a possible Player in "the game"... outside of that 2nd boy who was left inside of the closet. We've Seen Women knee deep into the game so it is not outside of the realm of possibility that the woman was as involved as the target (Junebug) & his muscle who were also laid out in the living room.

2025-06-02 15:09:38 +0000 UTCThe next series after The Wire should be Boardwalk Empire.

2025-06-02 14:24:26 +0000 UTCWhat a fun little coincidence that actor David Costabile (who later portrayed Gale Boetticher in both 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul') appears in 'The Wire' working with a black colleague named Gus. In this case, however, Gus is the subordinate, as opposed to the boss.

2025-06-02 04:40:04 +0000 UTCAsia, you somehow got it backwards, ma'am. The medical examiner was claiming that it was a homicide, whereas it truly was just an accidental overdose. The guy died in such a way that he was wedged between a bathtub and a toilet. So, when the paramedics were trying to lift his dead body up and out by his head / neck area from said position in which he was stuck, they bruised him after the fact, which made the cause of death look like a homicide by asphyxiation. The cop was adamantly arguing, correctly so, trying to explain things to the woman. He was even willing to retrieve the involved paramedics to inform her of what had really happened to cause the bruise marks on the deceased man's neck. Meanwhile, the other more experienced woman filled in McNulty that the cop was in fact right. Later, McNulty remembered what she said about how sometimes they honestly cannot tell whether such bruising occurred postmortem or prior to death. Thus, McNulty was utilizing his newfound knowledge in taking a death of another man via natural causes and staging it as a murder — by a supposed serial killer, at that. His intent is to use this as an advantage, but I won't say anything further beyond that, so as to safely avoid potential spoilers.

2025-06-02 04:35:45 +0000 UTCChris and 'Snoop' did not kill either of the young kids who were present in the house. They killed three adults, including 'June Bug'. One of the children (with short hair) ran away through the back door of the home. He was the one who we saw Michael let go, allowing him to escape unscathed. Another child (with cornrows/braids) remained inside, the one who was bawling due to witnessing the tragedy/travesty take place. He is also the same kid who 'Kima' later discovered hiding in the closet with bloodstains from those deceased on his clothes plus any parts of his body that were exposed. Further proof of the above facts can be read in the following excerpt from an online article, which was written specifically about this particular episode's plot: "Marlo decides to reassert his authority and orders several murders. Partlow, 'Snoop', and Michael watch the house of a target named 'June Bug', who has spread rumors that Marlo is homosexual. Michael questions the necessity of the murder of an entire family for a possible insult, but is admonished by 'Snoop' for second-guessing Marlo. Partlow and 'Snoop' disable the street's security cameras, stage a home invasion, and kill the three adults inside. Michael lets a child escape and is disgusted by the entire operation. Later, Detective 'Kima' Greggs finds a second child hiding in the home."

2025-06-02 03:32:15 +0000 UTCIn your above comment, you were referring to the new Season 5 character named Alma Gutierrez, one of the fictional journalists for the Baltimore Sun (a real life newspaper). Yes, writer Alma was portrayed by actress Michelle Paress, whose spouse is in fact actor Larry Gilliard Jr., who "in'DEE'd" played D'Angelo 'Dee' Barksdale, like you said.

2025-06-02 03:10:21 +0000 UTCOften one who is observant, 'Kima' quickly put the pieces of the puzzle together about hungover McNulty having been out cheating on 'Beadie' the night prior, based solely upon her noticing of his office attire alone: "Musta been a decent ride, 'cause he never went home. Same shirt as yesterday, Jimmy."

2025-06-02 02:53:47 +0000 UTCI don’t think it matters which phone he uses, the music is blasting in the background. He goes to the pay phone because the last time he was off the wagon he didn’t have a cell phone and that was his move. He’s drunk, reaches in his pocket for a quarter, and realizes he has a phone

2025-06-02 01:31:29 +0000 UTCDamn the season 2 one is the original version? Its my least favorite too lol: 1. Season 3 2. Season 1 3. Season 4 4. Season 5 5. Season 2

2025-06-02 00:57:11 +0000 UTCWell, now that we have officially reached this point of the fifth & final season, is everybody ready to put their rankings of the show's intro theme songs on the record? Here is my own list of personal preferences, in order from most to least favorite among the five: I. Season 4 – DoMaJe II. Season 3 – The Neville Brothers III. Season 1 – The Blind Boys of Alabama IV. Season 5 – Steve Earle [Although, he definitely deserves for fans to throw some extra credit his way for also playin' Walon on the show.] V. Season 2 – Tom Waits [This is the original version, so some may say having his own tune ranked this low on my list is blasphemous sacrilege.]

2025-06-02 00:04:31 +0000 UTCPersonally, I felt as if it appeared fairly clear that McNulty realized he had better choose to call home to 'Beadie' via his own cell phone, as opposed to the pay phone in the bar, so as to conceal the reality that he was out drinking, rather than working late like he had claimed. I mean, it is almost assuredly so that he "sure-tainly" would not want her to know. Thus, he hid from her the fact that he had yet again "fallen off the wagon" — as the adage about addiction goes, although a passé cliché — and how he was back up to his predictable, typical tricks. After all, another expression sums it up well: "Old habits die hard."

2025-06-01 21:35:16 +0000 UTCOoh sheeeeeit! Last season, I’m so glad you really liked The Wire. My suggestion for you is to check out Homeland once we’ve finished The Wire. I really think you and the rest of us will love it just as much.

2025-06-01 20:42:56 +0000 UTCDon’t worry about finishing The Wire, you can always watch it again! I learn something new every time I watch it.

2025-06-01 20:35:37 +0000 UTC10:16 That's O-Dog, the guy who killed Bodie. Bunk got a different kid for a different case in the beginning of the episode. 1:46:19 As soon as we saw this fed it was over. Carcetti told him to go fuck himself lol (1:48:52). 2:05:44 McNulty wasn't joking when he told Bunk that there's a serial killer in Baltimore. Jimmy is fabricating one. Dude’s crazy...

2025-06-01 19:48:25 +0000 UTCSearch on google the wire character O Dog thats who killed Bodie he’s one of Marlo soldiers he barley has screen time that’s why he’s not recognizable ‼️💯 he pops up here and there
