2023-05-15 04:17:54 +0000 UTCPosted this in the YT comments too I know this show probably won't get you huge views, while being extremely highly praised The Wire is not the sort of show that get massive mainstream appeal unfortunately. It's so focused on the characters and letting the story play out and not at all on the sort of action you might normally expect from a tv show. When there is violence it's usually short and dirty like it is in reality and if it's not necessary to show like with Brandon's death in this episode they don't. The aftermath speaks for itself. Just a wonderfully written, directed and acted show and I hope you guys keep enjoying it, loving the reactions so far!!

2023-05-15 00:37:41 +0000 UTCFreamon's line, "All the pieces matter", while being a good description for the whole show, is also the name of a really good book written about the making of the show where they interview a ton of the actors and writers involved in it. The fact that everything we see matters is what makes this show such a good watch, even over 20 years after it first aired.

2023-05-14 22:15:20 +0000 UTCYou hit the nail on the head when you noticed they skipped over Brandon's torture. I think the writers of this show would be bored with such a scene. As if they only have so many allotted minutes and damn if they aren't going to spend every one of them exploring character development.

Couldn't find a good pic of Bird, but you'll see him again soon enough. Also, Freamon IS the name of the guy who makes miniatures.
