So I've seen and rewatched the show several times, but for some reason it never clicked with me that Bubbles was worried because he was sharing needles. I always took his reaction as more of a fatherly/big brother response to the news, and that he was worried first and foremost about Johnny and his mental wellbeing after hearing that news, never clocking that he might have realized he was HIV-positive. I know we have that element come up later in the show (minor spoilers), but I never associated it with this scene in particular. God, I love this show. Always some new thread to pull, always some new avenue to explore.
@@KrushgrooveOG Oh, I know, and in the original show bible the Bubbles character was HIV-positive. I'm just saying that in this particular moment, I never took Bubbles's reaction to Johnny's news as personal fear for his own wellbeing, but rather trying to allay Johnny's worries and concerns, as Bubs is always looking out for the boy.
I think we watch reaction videos because we'll never be able to see something for the first time again - at least that's why I do it. It's so enjoyable seeing you react to this show as it develops. The appreciation, the attention to detail, the humor. I think you're recognizing that this show is really something special, and it's cool to see it happen in real time.
Yes, I think so too. During the pandemic, I got addicted to watching people enjoy things, movie and TV show reactions being number one on that list. It kept me in touch with humanity. Lol!
@@yellowluma101Well the og commenter said *one* of. Not the absolute best. It's a sentiment which I and quite a lot of other people would agree with. The role he plays in the series, what he stands for and represents both in show and out, the story arc etc. He's absolutely up there and Michael K. Williams definitely did the role complete justice. We will never see another character like Omar Little ever again. Some shows have tried to emulate and...yeah 😂 Will forever only be one Omar.
If you haven’t noticed yet, with the exception of the pilot, the only times you hear music in the show is when a character hears it over the radio or something. They never use music layered over a scene. Pretty cool!
That's not true, I remember multiple montages that had non diegetic music. But yea most of the time the music is diegetic which adds so much to the realism
I'm happy to say that that editing quality never leaves The Wire. No show packs so much juice into its runtime, and if it lingers longer than you expect there's usually a good reason. It will honestly make you resent some shows for wasting your goddamn time.
In a show full of incredible characters and outstanding performances it says something that Omar and Bubbles still manage to stand out. Both Michael Williams (RIP) and Andre Royo were always excellent in every role I've seen them in.
17:17. The actor who plays Orlando the club owner is Clayton LeBouef, who was most familiar to me as Colonel Barnfather on "Homicide: Life on the Street," which is a show based on David Simon's book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets." Simon would later become the co-creator of "The Wire." A lot of actors on "The Wire" showed up on "Homicide," including McNulty's ex-wife (Callie Thorne, who played Detective Ballard) and the coroner (Erik Todd Dellums, who played mob kingpin/Avon Barksdale prototype Luther Mahoney). It was particularly shocking to see LeBouef in this role because his character on "Homicide" was far more straight-laced and by-the-book to an annoying fault, similar to Rawls and Burrell on this show.
It was a 90's network TV show, you can't fault it too much for being "straight laced". Unlike other more popular cop shows at the time like NYPD Blue, Homicide ditched the overtly soapy, dramatical and sensationalized tone for a more objective look at police and police work to the point that there are numerous episodes where even the cops can be seen as the "bad guy"... No other show was really doing that at the time. It was the precursor to alot of drama series we see today as well.
Omar being gay is such a power move. It's no secret how the streets feel about such a thing, especially 2 decades ago. And he not only steals from the streets, but he also is confident and fierce enough to live his life how he wants to live. Also, the cemetery meeting showed why McNulty is so good. He vaguely knew Omar, but he didn't push. He respectfully and in a roundabout way gave Omar some bad news, and Omar in respect gave some back, but also left it on his terms, by dropping Bubbles' name, thus showing that he knows more than he let's on. Meanwhile a rookie detective would have instantly hit Omar up with a "hey, one of your crew got killed, so you better come in and tell us all you know", and that wouldn't have worked. So McNulty is pretty smooth.
There's really two types of Wire fans. There's the new watcher who finds it hard to believe Idris can pull off an American inner city accent. And then there's us old folks who watched back in the day and couldn't believe he was actually British 😂
Facts. I remember watching him with his natural accent for the first time and thinking “he needs to work on that British accent; I’m not really buying it.” 😂
Yeah, Prez the Codebreaker does come along nicely, here and there. In a future episode he will do the most satisfying thing to the most deserving person at the WORST possible time, and it will draw a look from Lance Reddick that will sit on your brain forever.
If it's a little weird seeing Idris Eba in this, has anyone pointed out that Dominic West (McNulty) is also very English? Up until this, he was mostly "posh" or in costume dramas. He played Prince Charles in The Crown.
I had seen him in a show (in the UK) called Ultraviolet, a modern take on vampires, so I knew about him. The shock for me was hearing Dominic West talking in his native accent, I don't think I knew of a thing he did before the Wire
It amuses me that the real life Baltimore City police officer Jay Landsman that the character Jay Landsman is based on, auditioned to play himself and didn't get the part 🤣 The Real Jay Landsman got the part of Lieutenant Dennis Mello
Detective Munch (the character portrayed by Richard Belzer in Homicide, Law and Order SVU, and if we count cameos then about a dozen other shows) is also based on Jay Landsman. He makes a cameo appearance in the final season, iirc even sharing a scene (but not directly interacting) with both the real and fictional Landsman.
The scene of Dee and Avon visiting Avon's brother in the hospital is one of the best scenes in the series. A personal favorite for me at least Wood Harris absolutely chews up the scenery in such a poignant, subdued way. Its the first time we really see Avon in a truly sympathetic light The scene really drives it home that just because they're drug dealers and murderers, we're not dealing with complete monsters.
D'Angelo is a very interesting character. I wouldn't call him a villain, at least not by the standards of this show. As you say, he's very aware of what's happening around him. I can't say how that awareness affects him over time without spoiling anything. "The bug" is HIV. The tag line, "a little slow, a little late," isn't just about hindsight. It's about foresight. Avon was warning D'Angelo how dangerous it is if you get careless even for a second.
Omar has entered the building...! The Wire & The Office & Better Call Saul & Always Sunny & More on Patreon! Click here: www.patreon.com/jamesvscinema Have a great day y'all!

The wire is one of them shows you pick up new things every time no matter how many times you watch it. It is a show you have to also pay attention to tho to catch certain things.
It's been so many years since I watched this series but it has always lingered. It's so good (and I want to say more but won't), I really like watching you react to it and how you break it down. I can experience it a second time.
Honestly compared to many other 1-hour shows it goes pretty smoothly. Sometimes I'd look at the timestamp and see there were only like 10 minutes left and was amazed at how little of the runtime I actually felt. I actually started this show after finishing the second season of a 30-minute comedy show, but finished this show earlier and still had 2 seasons left of that half-hour show after finishing The Wire! That's how smoothly this show went and I didn't even feel the slow burn. Watched the whole thing in just a month and a half.
Hello friend! New subscriber and another fellow Wire head like the others 🙂 It's funny that you stated that the way the series is set up reminds you of GoT and BCS. The Wire is largely an obscure series as while many people today know of it not a lot of people have finished the series in its entirety or have seen it at all still. It's not really a popular show and yet it has influence in other top tier shows. Especially considering penultimate episodes for seasons. Your take on D'Angelo (so far) is why this show is goated. Although your understanding of D'Angelo as a character will get better once you complete the season there have been various instances in the first five episodes where it's clear what type of character and person D'Angelo is. He likes Shardene (the stripper) because he saw how genuine of a person she was despite her line of work which he relates to. Bodie's interrogation scene with Herc and Carver (you supposed to be the good cop dumb mother) is a direct contrast to D'Angelo's interrogation with McNulty and Bunk earlier in the season. They do this a lot in this series to establish characters and it is *always* fantastic. This episode is lowkey one of the best in the season because it is essentially the beginning of the train ride that is not only the rest of season but the series itself. The following episode is the first stop 😂 Can't wait to see your reaction to that episode! Until next time sir!
Oh look. A gay character that isn’t gay just to have a gay character. Omar is a bonefide badass. He makes everyone his bitch with his shotgun and his balls to take on anyone. He steals from drug dealers and his name rings fear on the streets. And yet he a gay guy. But nobody cares about sexuality because it doesn’t define him. It’s not the only characteristic that is given to the character. He’s also kind to his friends and ruthless to his enemies. Sometimes he helps the cops, sometimes he helps the criminals. It’s all in the game.
I like how paranoid Avon is, about everything. That "little slow, little late" speech is one of those things I think about constantly. We only get one life on this planet and that's it. One little mistake and we can cease to exist, or be bedridden, or whatever. There's no takebacks or do-overs.
Most likely not the scene you are referring to, but i have often randomly thought of the scene where bubbles is sitting on a park bench, white knuckling, but clean, just watching the world go by for a moment. Nothing much happens, but the acting is so fantastic that EVERYTHING happens.
They shot in actual Bmore, I used to teach at a performing arts school right beside the apartment buildings but I hadn’t seen the show until free I left that school smh but the scenery & everything is very much Baltimore
I think most of the characters in the Wire have satisfying arcs, even if we may not like where they lead. One of my favourite questions with the Wire is getting to the end of season 5 and trying to work out who is the worst human being in the show...
The actor who plays Orlando, Clayton LaBoeuf, is most well known for Col Barnfather on Homicide: Life on the Street, and extremely uptight suit that focuses on optics and stats, sort of like Rawls and Burrell in The Wire (and both are the Baltimore Police Department, of course). So, it's funny that they turn that completely on its head with his casting as Orlando, and David Simon's The Corner, he portrayed an addict. But these are his most well known roles, so he's probably not who you think. It's kind of unfair to The Wire that you're wrapping up Better Call Saul as you start The Wire. The Wire is my favorite show, BCS my second, though BCS definitely wins best final season of any final season for me. Really from Lalo's introduction, the wonderful slow burn became an intense gasoline fire. The Wire never hurries its pace, but each season's second half connects its layers and sprawl in ways you don't expect, and does seem to move more quickly. The moment Saul drops that mint chocolate chip ice cream cone and gets in the car, BCS just hurtles towards an epic conclusion in incredible fashion. The Wire's last season is not its best, and was hampered by being shortened to 10 episodes, but still better than 95% of television, but a stronger, deeper, more impact full show overall. It will take a couple more seasons, but you'll see it's not really a show about the drug trade, that's just a part of what it's about. Better Call Saul is a ripping yarn, but its bigger themes are internal and microcosmic. Enjoy the journeys, they're both just top notch.
Yo you from North Philly and you think only Kensington look close to that? I’m going to counter, with Erie, Grays Ferry, Bartram Village, and Kingsessing.
Omar and Bubbles are the two best characters ever! Gotta admit Elba makes the play of a lifetime in this. I'm from northern Europe where we have the welfare system and all. And I've watched this show three times and still wonder why the US system is so fucked up man!
Omar is the most fascinating character, but IMO Bubbles has the best character arc in the show. He's the soul of The Wire, kinda like how Jesse Pinkman is the soul of Breaking Bad.
Ayo James please watch a film “a seperation” It’s an Iranian film about a main character that has a dad that has an Alzheimer The first Iranian film that won an oscar
Its funny you are impressed with Idris Alba’s American accent. Wait till you hear the accent of McNulty actor. You gotta look it up! Gives you such a better appreciation for his acting skills 👏
“Omar comin’”. RIP Michael Williams, hell of an actor.
Also has a great role in Boardwalk Empire. Highly reccomend it to all those that haven't seen it.
The "Bug" was old school slang for HIV/AIDS. Something Bubs would be very worried about if he was sharing needles with Johnny.

Not sure if you caught this but Omar didn’t give bird up until they let him know that they killled Bailey.
