Agree, Michael K Williams really sells how much Omar is hurting but there just isn’t enough for the audience to care about the characters around him that die as much

I just remembered how much I love this season. Although Season 4 is the gold standard, it's success is built on the incredible work that happens in season 3. This is basically The Yorknew City arc of The Wire, compared to The Chimera aka Season 4, Both incredible but the success of the latter is built on the foundation of the former

I really wish the show had developed Tosha and Kimmy more as actual characters before killing one of them off. TBH that's probably my biggest criticism so far. Omar is great but it doesn't feel like the show really dedicates enough time to the people he's around to make them feel like actual characters, let alone ones that are close to him. IDK, I feel like they could have really made this death hurt, while as is it's just kinda shocking.

Agreed, some parts did feel a little caricaturistic if thats a word..

The topics they touched on and the way the show approached them, they weren't exactly subtle or brimming with subtext. Also, the way some people were portrayed. Characters became caricatures in this episode, they were either cartoonishly evil or cartoonishly benevolent.

This episode is a bit too on the nose for me (thankfully The Wire only has a handful of eps like that), but it's my favourite season, so I give it a pass. It still has so many good moments.
