The stand-off between Omar & brother Muzone is an absolute classic!
Wow, I had no idea this video existed. This must've been exhausting and took a lot of work to do. Thank you so much for this content!
RIGHT?! Literally just got recommended this yesterday and I've been searching for specific cold opens for weeks lol. Uploader is a real one for this
The reformation open is the best one imo. The sirens juxtaposed go muzones look of anxiety is amazing.
An interesting and unique choice. The montage of the consequences of Avon and Marlo's war coveys so much so quickly, but Muzone's cynical smile when referring to the empty city's promises of reform is the highlight for me.
9:35 Avon got better security than the secret service 😂
They trying to move that desk is cinema
Symbolism for the system working together but against one another…crazy writing 🤌🤌🤌
Carcetti goes to church in Margin of Error is why i came here! thanks for doing this
The Wire one the best series
The season 3 premiere intro is the best one. The tower coming down shows the downfall of the barksdale crew and the rise of Marlo. The whole theme for season three was reform for every character. The show reached a turning point in season three
36:29 I remember watching this and couldnt for the life of me understand how? This is one of the most impactful scenes of The Wire
Such a literary and dimensional series. So much intensity and depth to most of these cold opens, each one almost tells a little story in itself. STILL one of the most brilliant TV series I've ever seen. Watching these makes me want to start rewatching the entire series. Snoop buying the nail gun still cracks me up. But even the subtle ones, like Officer Beatrice getting stuck with the 13 bodies speaks volumes. Excellent post.
Thanks for the upload verry nice movie.
8:50 - My favorite intro. Showed so much about Avon and the Barkesdale culture.
1:15:23 Dude honestly thought Omar was gonna say *understandable* *have* *a* *good* *day*
1:50:44 this scene 😂😂😂
1:50:40
That scene with Hurc walking in on Mayor Royce getting a bj, only to slam the door and walk down a hallway filled with portraits of past Baltimore mayors seemingly staring down at him as he leaves will never not be funny. What makes it even funnier is the shot of the last portrait before the cut to the starting credits. I think that's a portrait of Thomas D'Alesandro...also known as Nancy Pelosi's dad. LOL!
Also, the fact that Omar can leave the house in his pj's, unarmed, and still manage to rob a stash house through nothing but his sheer presence is a true masterclass on how to write a good scene.
Omar R.I.P.
I can proudly say that I have watched an entire video of cold open of the wire. This was better than sex.
Wallace running a damn orphanage. 12:50
I hate that Wallace was really trying to do good.
But had to fuck up in that one big bad way. Boadie knew it.
Can certain people ever fight one on one 😢
Ever seen a boxing match, or a UFC fight? Or an actual street fight? Or are you just basing your shit on what you've heard?
@@madcapglass1454 wtf you two on
The dinks 😂😂
52:41
😂😂😂😂
_Hill Street Blues_ = _NYPD Blue_ = _The Wire_
Aye yo “Ah na fuck it!”
Mcnaughty is the man❤😅😊
8:19 I still don’t get this part 😂😂😂😊
They were all trying to get the desk out and herc had been trying to push it in
It’s especially funny because you can see Lester figure it out and chuckle to himself before everyone else figures it out
It’s a strange opening though for sure
@@TheRealForgetfulElephant LOL!!! thank you for not talking to me like I'm an idiot.. because I feel like it was an idiot question..🤣 I get it now
Isn’t the flower guy the dude that stranger bell gave the money too do the hit on D
No
Bubbles walking away from a score after the ladder con was daft. No way a junkie says no to getting fixed ya don’t have morals when ya on that badness
Snot case never got solved??
Officially we don't know. But we had an snitch that wasnt about testifing in a court. So, the murder was half way solved.
11:55 worst acting ever! Lol! That was the fakest yawn etc ive ever seen.
Wallace was running an orphanage
lol
WTF IS A COLD OPEN?
It is where the episode opens with a scene before the title sequence or credits
In the land of make believe everything has an explanation 😂
