Those are rookie numbers …
Ok HBO you convinced me, I'll rewatch the wire for my 10th time (not joking)
I believe you. I lost count after my 10th viewing - the show never gets old.
You watch it so much, it makes you think these characters are real
Ok I'll rewatch for the (30th) time. And now watching we own this city
@@AbdurRahman-mb1vr what makes some one think they aren't
Same here buddy. West side baby.
Can't believe they forgot 'good powlice'
Same I was waiting for it then they said Housecat and I am like? But good powlice
“Natural POE-lice”
Or simply, "Yo".

Hopper: “5-O, 5-O!!”
This ain't no TV show, man, this is one timeless piece of high art.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING else even stands close to "The Wire".
Breaking bad but you are right its something special and unique.
@@AdamPiper I tried watching "Breaking Bad" and gave it up halfway through the second season. Then, because a friend was pestering me about it all the time, I gave it one more shot and completed it half-heartedly.
While it might be considered a good TV show for some, it doesn't even come close to "The Wire" for me. Well, like I said, nothing does 🙂
@@AdamPiper I do enjoy "Better Call Saul" though, much more so than B.B 😉
The Sopranos & The Wire will always been the original masterpieces
@@AdamPiper good but not even close. BCS is superior. The Wire is untouchable.
it doesn't seem like 20 years in 20 more years I will still be watching the wire. that's when tv was tv with the wire. thanks, HBO for the greatest show ever made!!!!!!!!
“The game the same. Just got more fierce.”
Slim Charles
Can’t believe they left that line out.
slim was such a cool cat.. that voice
Second to none show. Happy 20 anniversary ❤️.
Second to Sopranos
Where my "pit beef sammitch", yo? (Extra horseradish!)
I can't believe it's been 20 years the wire is still one of my favorite shows full of iconic characters with lines that are still quoted today
Just binge watched the show in 5 days,
Now watching all related videos on UA-cam.
I don't think any other show is gonna top this for me.
No its not
This is the best show ever made, forever.
Another thing I liked about the show is they don't hold the viewers hands. They don't explain themselves or use exposition. They challenge the viewers to pay close attention to "every.... little.... detail....."
Yes. David Simon said he wanted it written that way. He had to trust the audience
They do tho. Burner is explained in the video above. And in the first (maybe second) there's a scene where they justify needing a wire because of exhaustion... And that scene is pretty hand holdy
@@turbocalves I mean, every show have a little hand holding, you're being pretty picky rn, not to mention that it's a possibility that Kima, McNulty or others don't know much about wire taps, especially in early 2000s and that's why Freamon had to explain
there is a lot of exposition and explaining especially when the Lieutenant is organizing people for tasks
the difference is the show is written somewhat realistic with good writing instead of like a soap opera.
One of the realist shows ever made . HBO always delivers on quality 👏🏽
My favorite show of all time
One of the Greatest of all time. Phenomenal screenplay. My favourite show
Best show ever!
Simply the best tv show EVER!
Greatest show ever and it's not even close
Just started the show a couple of days ago and i'm hooked ⚓ 🔱 ⚓
Prepare for a few more sessions of watching again and seeing things you missed, it's very abstract, but suddenly becomes clear what was to be conveyed, pure genius writing❤
@@roaddawg3217 that's so right, everything is in the writing. All the pieces matter ;-)
@@PokeBowl82 every last one!
I think the word is "Glossary."
The Cheese stands alone
Monumental. In a class of it's own at the top
20 years and they compare power to this
Lol power wants to be as good as the wire
😒😒😒
whats power?
8:30, when i first got hooked on the show
"5 and change, I'm out. Don't truck on C.P. time."
Sheeeeeeeeit
I’m glad they addressed Ballmer, I had no clue what that was when I first saw the show.
The sound editing during the "Hamsterdam" segment was SUCCULENT
For a hot second I thought they weren't gonna put the Cheese in cheese.
🐍
I watch this show once a year!!!
they forgot "3 holes"
what, no "whistle"?!?!?!...a grievous omission.
They left out “carry it”. That’s a staple in Baltimore slang
Only the best series to grace our lives!.
'The Wire' , levels apart from any TV show made. Truly realistic.
Who remembers any other show from 20 years ago that they're binge watching like it's still brand new? I'll wait!
Seasons 3-14 of the simpsons. King of the Hill. Yeah that's it.
Şopranos, Band of Brothers.
“The game is out there and it’s play or get played”
A Masterpiece The Wire is a masterpiece,!
Baltimore, Maryland
Best series ever
A real dictionary
Best show ever.
They just don't make it like this anymore.
Carver got em black air forces
He said he ain't joking this is his ship that we saw Dole Charles and Dennis did some Twisted gangster s***.
.
And no we are sitting ducks we can't touch him.
we just have to wait until he figures it out and prosecutes us
When you write books about it college courses are taught about it of course there's a dictionary about it?
best show ever. But this vid is for those whom have never left their bubble.
The best
This was a helluva documentary series..
Documentary; HOW SO?!!!
@@MickyTubbs1985 I'm sure they meant it was more like a doc than a made up show.
Greatest TV show ever. Followed by Deadwood and The Sopranos. All other opinions are wrong, dont @ me
The Wire, the greatest.
Insuperável
I mean it isn’t as good as the wire but The Deuce is another good David Simon show.
LAGENDARY!!!
no "hopper"
"So one *thieving* politician trumps twenty-two dead bodies. Good to know:
Stash
The only black people on the show that actually sound how black people in baltimore sound were Prop Joe and Snoop. White people were all over the place. The principal lady and Bunny's side kick in season 3
Ahh man !! Did we miss shitbird in this glossary? :-) .. BEST SHOW EVER! This youtube algorythm makes sure I do my 20th rerun of the whole show. Somehow the show does not stop being boring.
The Wire is the GOAT 🏆
the goat tv show
FIVE-O!
Best show Ever: THE WIRE. A close second: THE SOPRANOS.
It’s Bladimur, not Balmur
The Game - def. The Game
you need to keep that on the screen a bit longer, I am having to ⏸️ to read it in full. :)
not sure how the forgot to include Muscle
So Cheese, who's your dog?
The game is the game
Got that pandemic
HBO, does Borko know you've stretched to cover The Wire clips too?
Sick reference bro
Might be one of them good problems...
Back when HBO made good tv
No 'natural police'?
I only realized that this show only got 2 emmy nominations 😴
I lost respect to emmys
😅
around the way, in the cut smh cmon now!
Cheese, man
Mop= member of public
Should have kept the show going like stars doing with power
season 6 when?, no reboot, no rehash - the same city same game 15 years after season 5
Y'all forgot "the n-word" lol
1:51 ... now what do you mean ? you mean a corner boy is some one who gets people to work the corner ? cause that is how you wrote it.. but a corner boy is the one working a corner and he HAS to be a minor otherwise he is not a boy.
y'all can't even write proper definitions
and most definitely can't write us another show like that.
smh
Soo basically yall proved that the writers on the greatest show ever wasn't original 🤣🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure I’ve watch The Wire and The Sopranos over 20 times and they never get old. Greatest shows In television history because they are based on real $hit. HBO should do more like them
