The actor of Bubbles, Andre Royo, recounted how at one point he was relaxing between shoots, in full costume, of course. Somebody came up to him and saw how bad he looked, so they offered him a free hit. "You need it more than I do", or some such. Royo considered it his street Oscar.
After seeing Bubs i watched a cold opening of Bones of a young homeless couple searching through a dumpster. I could only describe their look as Disney-esque
The scene with the chicken nuggets isn't just about nuggets. There's a parallel between the McDonald's employee who invented chicken nuggets and the low-level drug dealers. It doesn't matter how hard they work or what they produce. Someone else will get rich off their efforts.
As a Baltimoron myself, I can confirm this show is not only the best ever made from a writing and acting standpoint, but also breaks down perfectly what happened to the city at every single level and why it is like it is today. I moved a couple years ago
D'Angelo Barksdale is such a great character, and Lawrence Gilliard's performance really imbues him with humanity. Nobody in this show is 2 dimensional.
I have always been a little underwhelmed by his performance for some reason. Can’t put my fingwr on it. Maybe a little to earnest or something. A little too soft maybe. Not a bad performance by any means of course but not my favorite.
This is a sociological drama more than a psychological drama and that’s rare. Any writer can write about how they feel or relate to another topic or theme, but to see how it affects not just others but groups of others, that’s hard, but the payoff is so satisfying.
You saying how D'Angelo shouldn't be doing this is literally at the heart of The Wire. The show really highlights how what you should and shouldn't do is miniscule when it comes to what you need to do to survive or what the only avenue available to you is As the show goes on and you learn about the lives and experiences of these characters, things like "you shouldn't be doing this" is just completely out of your mind
In episode 1 there is a parallel between Bunk shooting the Mouse (Rat) and leaving it there so his "friends" can see, and Gant being murdered for being a witness (Rat) and left in the street so everyone can see.
@@blacksunday4231 Its funny, because it took me until like episode 8 to realize I was truly into the show. It already snuck up on me by then but I guess I was in denial for most of Season 1 until that point lol
@@blacksunday4231 episode four did it for me, then I had to start over. must've rewatched this a dozen times since. it's the pinnacle, everything else is for second place
You are gonna come to love some of the character traits in this show, and this episode introduces the legendary Cedric Daniels side-eye. RIP Lance Reddick.
Guys like Pryzbylewski shouldn’t be cops. D’Angelo shouldn’t be a gangster. Not on the level his uncle wants, anyway. Both play up to the crappy culture around them, and are hemmed in by family.
I am so happy I did not have to wait between the seasons. I fear that could've done me in ^ No other show has been as immersive as The Wire. I feel like I know Baltimore.
Fun fact: the coroner is played by Erik Todd Dellums, whose big break was playing criminal kingpin Luther Mahoney in "Homicide: Life on the Street", which was also based in Baltimore and was co-created by David Simon, based on his book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets", which a lot of material for "The Wire" was also drawn. "Homicide" is also notable as it was the show that introduced the world to the character of Detective John Munch.
So i watched this series when it originally aired and a few years later had to move to the west coast for a job that required me fly into various places this company acquired. One such was in Baltimore...in the neighborhoods depicted in the Wire. I quickly realized that the show had not used set piece locations because the neighborhood looked exactly like in the show.
some "The Wire" merges with reality tidbits... The morgue in the cold open of episode 2 does not look like a typical TV morgue set, because it's not a set. They filmed in the actual Baltimore City morgue (and the cast had to endure the odors). Most of the characters in the show are based on real people - for example, detective sergeant Jay Landsman in the show was based on detective sergeant Jay Landsman. The plan was to have Jay Landsman to play Jay Landsman, but since he had never acted, he was not a good enough Jay Landsman and the part was recast. The actual Jay Landsman took some acting classes and appears as a different character later in the series.
That theme song was written and originally recorded by one of my favorite musical artists, Tom Waits. (He also wrote "Downtown Train" which was made into a hit by Rod Steward, and "Jersey Girl" which Bruce Springsteen is known to perform in concert.) S1 uses a cover version by The Blind Boys Of Alabama, and the song is called "Way Down In The Hole." The Tom Waits original will be used as the theme song in S2, and they use a different version for each season after that.
this show will forever hold a place in my heart not because of it being a great show but its the last show my brother and I were watching before he passed. Season 4 episode 1 will be the episode i always remember it being the last one he saw. enjoy the ride James i have rewatched it about 4 times since 2021 and it only gets better
I'm grateful to have seen The Wire when I hear about things like the Breonna Taylor shooting. It wasn't just about the cop involved, it was about the systematic failures (like the person they were supposed to be arresting already being in custody in other police department, the stupidity of a no-knock warrant in a country with a lot of people having guns for home defence...). The show is an amazing interplay between complex characters and the systems they operate in, you already see it in how the senior police people are trying to avoid doing a serious investigation because it's going to get expensive
I used to watch your stuff a while ago. I kind of stopped watching reaction videos. When I saw you were going to be reacting to The Wire in my feed, I thought that's going to be amazing. One thing about the show is how beautifully shot it is. The story is phenomenal. You're going to love the narrative. I've seen other reactors react to The Wire, but no one with a cinematic eye. I can't wait to see what you think about that aspect. You almost have to watch this show more than once to fully appreciate the beauty in his production because the story is front and center.
Hi James. I practiced law in Milwaukee for over 40 years. There are a lot of differences, but a major point of commonality with Baltimore is we are a smaller city that is near larger metropolitan areas. I mean, Baltimore is near DC and Philadelphia; Milwaukee is near Chicago and the Twin Cities. And yet both retain their own character. Anyway, this series has it's characterizations of the police/government types and the culture and corruption of each down cold. I mean, I recognize some of these people and they ways they do things. The criminal characters and culture is pretty down pat as well. The Wire was written by a reported for the Baltimore Sun and a homicide detective for Baltimore PD, and they really told it like it was in the early 2000s.
I guess complexity is largely what this show is about. Complex people trapped within complex systems interacting with other complex systems unpredictably. Of course giving oneself over to any system is the path to the dark side...
@@ChrisMaxCisnerosthis show was originally shot and broadcast in 4:3 ratio rather than widescreen if I recall correctly - subsequent widescreen releases aren’t really the way the show was originally edited/cut
the 'wire' is police surveillance equipment on one level and it's also the invisible line that divides the two sides of america. that's probably the salient theme of the show, two americas each unknown to the other but on each other's doorstep and in each other's lives
So glad you are starting this show. I watched it many years after it was released. It allowed me to binge it. It is my favorite TV-show (period). To this day, it is the only show I've seen 5x (start to finish). If you get a chance to read up about the show you'll appreciate the quality of the show. Creators were a former Baltimore Newspaper Reporter and a former Baltimore Detective. The main character is the city of Baltimore. Each season the show expands to a different aspect of the Baltimore but it's always connected to the drug trade in the city. At the end, try and ask yourself what your favorite season was? (Most people love the 4th season). Glad you're finally taking this journey.
Still can't believe you haven't seen this show. But I can't think of a better show to have a first-time reaction for. Especially as a fan of the channel knowing your vibes and knowing how this show unfolds. This will probably be your new favorite show by the time your finished (if it isn't already) 🙌
So glad your doing this series, I cant think of series that has had more of an effect on me. Charlie Brooker (black mirror fame) was championing this series in england of all places a LONG time ago and thats what got me into it. The depth of this series and its themes along with the performances and authenticity are amazing
@@MamadNobari This is a good ranking. Steve Earle performed season 5's version. He also played the character of Waylon (Bubble's NA sponsor) in seasons 1, 4 and 5.
I'm from D.C. but spend lots of time in Baltimore both working and with family up there. From the work perspective, that scene you showcased at the beginning with the workers yelling over their meeting and the one guy coming in asking some random stuff is spot on. Blue collar workers in Bmore don't give af how important you think you are and it's often hilarious.
"He can just eat in front of a dead body". I dated a girl in surgeons college for a while and it turns out the smell of a dead body will make you uncomfortably hungry.
The casting was so outstanding that one of the most terrifying characters to ever haunt our TV screens was played by a non-actor... that may not have been entirely acting.
I'm gonna cryogenically freeze myself so that I can bingewatch your reactions to the entire show. Also, Lance Reddick originally auditioned to play Bubbles!
Even though Bubbles and Omar are my favorite characters in the show, it's hard not to love Stringer Bell and D'Angelo both too. And Bunk. And McNutty. Oh hell, they're all great.
awesome man, been watching all your sunny reacts, love your take on them. the wire is a great choice for next show, i was the same way, everyone talking about it but i never watched it, till about 4-5 years ago. you will understand the hype train too, and im sure get alot more out of it as a filmmaker, epic show. ps, watched the whole thing, and never realized that McNutty is also British!
if you really like the wire especially as a filmmaker i would suggest watching the mini series made by the same people that inspired to make the wire (the Corner). its much darker and much more powerful.
In the end, there are pretty much no characters worth rooting for on Succession. Everyone kind of sucks. Mean spirit permeates the show. I watched it, understood its merits, and was entertained. The Wire is oozing with heart. I was invested in almost all of the characters, and there are a shitload of characters.
Yo James.... Love you started this series... My friend who is retired ATF was part of this in real life. They got the story from real police file he worked on.
I wonder what thoughts are on how the way The Wire is shot, and the intro as well, influenced later shows? I only watched a little of it (the episodes are a bit too long and detailed for me a lot of the time) but the intro always struck me as surprisingly contemporary. I don't know which show 'invented' that style of intro - it's probably older again, but it's surprising how it's stuck around.
when you are done with your watch of the Wire, you'll be just like i did, you will think it is the best show you have seen now that feeling may last forever (it didn't with me) but you will feel it for at least a bit
Things sure are building here. I'm glad that you are already having fun with it. Most people need at least half of season 1 or so to start feeling it (including me on my very first ever watch). Also, Prez does kinda look like Tarantino, doesn't he?
Be careful, I couldn’t watch another tv program for 5 to 8 years after watching the wire. Everything else was immediately crap/waste of time. I envy your first time watching but don’t envy the come down.
So many fantastic characters in this show I could easily pick a top ten, but if absolutely forced to pick the best, it would be “Downtown” Lester Brown. I honestly envy you getting to watch this for the first time.

The actor of Bubbles, Andre Royo, recounted how at one point he was relaxing between shoots, in full costume, of course. Somebody came up to him and saw how bad he looked, so they offered him a free hit. "You need it more than I do", or some such. Royo considered it his street Oscar.
After seeing Bubs i watched a cold opening of Bones of a young homeless couple searching through a dumpster. I could only describe their look as Disney-esque

The scene with the chicken nuggets isn't just about nuggets. There's a parallel between the McDonald's employee who invented chicken nuggets and the low-level drug dealers. It doesn't matter how hard they work or what they produce. Someone else will get rich off their efforts.

D'Angelo Barksdale is such a great character, and Lawrence Gilliard's performance really imbues him with humanity. Nobody in this show is 2 dimensional.
They're all 3 dimensional and realistic. I'd say bravo Simons
"Sheeeeeeit"
Even characters like Rawls, who easily could have been a one note character, is given great complexity.
@@blakemeads9225 I'm curious to see if James will spot Rawls in a certain scene in season 3.
I have always been a little underwhelmed by his performance for some reason. Can’t put my fingwr on it. Maybe a little to earnest or something. A little too soft maybe. Not a bad performance by any means of course but not my favorite.

It's wild how Pryz becomes one of the most likable characters after the first two seasons.
Not having seen the first 4 seasons of The Wire turned into the best TV Marathon I have ever had.
that was my summer last year. I'll be thinking about it all my life.

Great series. Season 2 is by far the weakest season so don't give up if you think it sucks
Season 2 is still good tho. Sure it’s slow but it picks up
L take
To be honest season two sets up the entire rest of the show because without that domino effect the power balance wouldn’t be how it was
i think you need to rewatch it like 3 times
08:00 Notice how they like to frame people inside the car window. It's a recurring thing and they do it in a lot of their promo material as well.
