If I hadn't heard about Andre Agassi's autobiography I'd read this tweet as a joke, but now I'm not sure any more.

SOLVED So the tv show was City on a Hill, starred by Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge.

The characters I described were played by Amanda Clayton (Rob A’s wife), Mark O’Brien (Punchable brother) and Jonathan Tucker (Rob A).

PS: I found it just browsing throw IMDB, checking the casts of tv shows similar to The Wire and trying once and again.

ORIGINAL POST:

What I am about to tell may be a “side story” and not the main plot of the series.

There is a robbery of an armored vehicle. During the robbery the robbers kill the vehicle’s guards. One of the robbers (Rob A) has a wife and daughter(s). He also has a brother who is a bit of a loose cannon. The thing is, the loose cannon brother gets in trouble with the police and tries to sign up for the next heist Rob A is planning so he can snitch.

Other info: Rob A is married and has a daughter or two, and when he’s not robbing banks he has a job at a supermarket (or some other sort of retailer job). They lead a middle-class family life. Rob A’s wife owns a hairdresser.

I don’t remember the name of any of the actors, nor any other series or movies they’ve worked on.

EDIT: for example, this could be a side story of The Wire or The Shield, but checking their casts in IMDB doesn’t ring any bell.

EDIT2: Chatgpt and alike weren’t of any help with this one.

EDIT3: Rob A and his wife hide the cash from the robberies behind a mirror in their home. Also, the mood of the series is quite dark: similar to The Wire or The Shield.

I mean, does this person know what happens at NIGHT?

I'd say anything by Asimov. He had a clear, simple style that makes it the perfect author for the no native English reader.

A friend of mine told me a long time ago: "if a windows system is behaving funny, it has to do with virus. If a Linux system is behaving funny, it has to do with permissions"

What I see here is a cop trained to shoot to kill at the slightest chance.

I mean, if I ever visit this country and a policeman interacts with me I will pee my pants. Literally*.

*You know, like what "literally" meant in the old times.

Will you change your mind if I tell you that the "masto" in mastodon means "breasts"? ;P

Comparing white chocolate to dark chocolate makes as much sense as comparing macarons to macaroni :P

Other than that, enjoy white chocolate moderately, preferably with friends, and enjoy your weekend, kind human being :)
