Doing my first re-watch of The Wire in like 3-4 years. Maybe even longer. Someone on a group chat mentioned they were watching and I started getting that itch like it was a for a 1000th re-watch. Man it is still so good.
On the season 1 finale, and god... Avon trusts implicitly that Stringer's not being arrested along with him was crazy and it's not even possible he was snitching. Does not even blink, there wasn't a single fucking atom of doubt about Stringer's loyalty.
Season 3 Avon reads that Stringer was the one who gave him up. Which is a different kind of death. Not that it is some like super deep insight but that scene in season 1 is appreciated so much more having that knowledge now.
It's a new story every time.
Love this show. Everyone is great but Garett Dillahunt gives one of the best and most underrated comedic performances in the past however long since it aired.
