2025-01-27 04:56:50 +0000 UTCIf you want to learn more about the complicated nature of Baltimore's governance, this is a pretty good article. https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/community/100-years-baltimore-seals-its-borders/

2025-01-27 04:50:40 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed the commentary on class being a significant problem in this series. Baltimore is the perfect city to analyze the various topics about class because that city is drastically impacted by it due to the way its government is structured. Baltimore is one of the few places in the United States where the city and the county are separated from one another. As a result, the various things that have hurt other metropolitan areas had a greater impact and classism became a huge problem for that city. Tax revenue that most cities are able to receive aren't there for Baltimore. It's been this way since the mid-19th century and over time the wealth disparity in comparison to the county became more and more prominent. In an earlier reaction it was stated you saw a little bit of Philadelphia in Baltimore. Living in St. Louis, the Baltimore experience really hits home because the St. Louis government structure is the same way. St. Louis and St. Louis County have been split since the 1870's and has overall been a pretty disastrous decision. Over time, the population has left for the county leaving a cycle of poverty within the city regardless of race. Once a city gets to that point the roads leading away from that cycle of poverty close. Also, due to this country/city separation, both Baltimore and St. Louis tend to have high crime statistics which impacts the funding for various things as well as potential outside investment. The crime rate per 100,000 stat really f's over those cities and doesn't really tell the entire story.

2025-01-27 04:36:02 +0000 UTCSeason 3 is really where it starts to subtly expand upon the class aspect of all the themes of the show. They do a great job with dialogue to show that regardless of what side of the law any character is on there is a hierarchical category of class that they end up falling into and are held to those standards.

2025-01-26 23:02:20 +0000 UTCThe woman McNutty hooks up with is the same woman that Carcetti asks to manage his campaign if he runs for mayor. So it's in character that she's all business and takes out the laptop and throws McNutty out when they're done. 🤣 Good observation about class being a big theme in the show. It seems when people reach a certain level of success, their only motivation is hanging on to those dollars at any cost. It's crazy how people of the 'upper' class can support each other and step over each other at the same time if it benefits them.

2025-01-26 22:10:39 +0000 UTCBubs is the soul of show, IMO. That's really my only complaint about season 2... not enough Bubs. The scene with Bunk and Omar is so good. Wendell Pierce and MKW give such great performances, and Williams barely says a word. He conveys such anguish cracking through his hard exterior.

2025-01-26 19:00:31 +0000 UTCMany thoughts, sorry if it's too long. That scene with Cutty hitting that woman is so powerful. It shows how different the older days were from the new. The two young knuckleheads he's with are much softer, more reckless (does more drugs, jokes around more). Obviously what Cutty did was disgusting, but from his point of view, you get stuff done and if someone's stealing from you handle it immediately. Remember what Weebay and Avon talked about the first episode this season, how Cutty killed someone and picked up a phone and called the cops and told them he did it. I remember seeing this the first time being like I love this dude I'm rooting for him. The second he smacked her, I was so startled. But also, later on when the two knuckleheads are beating on the dude that stole, Cutty is like you should stop because if you go to far he can't make right what he owes, and they still proceed to hit him with a bat. So the kids aren't aggressive enough when it comes to handling direct business, but then too aggressive when they feel like someone should suffer. Cutty is ruthless, but only to be effective in this awful business. These young kids are both too soft and too dangerous. Also it makes complete sense that Bunny was the one who broke McNulty in. Both really want to do great police work and get super angry that the system is failing and all about people pretending to police work but playing politics.

2025-01-26 18:26:29 +0000 UTCI love that you said class is a bigger component in this story than race, because if I’m not mistaken, the showrunner David Simon said the exact same thing!

2025-01-26 16:45:09 +0000 UTCEpisode 6 is one of my favorite episodes ever. Such a well written episode. The Bunk and Omar and the Cutty, Slim Charles and Avon scenes are all timers
