You’re looking for screenwriter tricks but this show traffics in much more mundane, and thus universal, truths like self-interest, ambition, laziness, incompetence, inertia and resistance to change. Most of all that people are trapped in systems that pose obstacles they cannot surmount even with the best intentions.
Hi Guys! I really wish I could've put the entire scene with Bubs at the meeting. Seeing his character resonate with the speaker was really nice to see. Hope you guys have a good day!
Still haven't watched it, obviously, just pointing out, the actor playing the speaker is a singer songwriter named Steve Earle who is a friend of the showrunners and who has a very deep and personal history with drug abuse himself, being a recovering addict. What he's saying in the meeting is actually drawn from real life experience. First of many insances where the show will inject a bit of reality.
Your reactions are so good. I love that you’re pausing the video to do the in-depth commentaries.
Thank you 😭😭 I really appreciate it
Great timing on all the commentary and cuts. You really keep it flowing while making it feel we're watching together. You're like one of the rare people who can talk over a show and it isn't a problem.
Thank you so much!! 🥲🥲
@@janandduke4216 You're a great reactor and maybe even better editor! Kudos.
I never would have guessed English was your second language. This is like me finding out Idris Elba was British back when this show first was on.
Hahaha thank you 😂 I was actually surprised Idris had an accent too
@janandduke4216 I don't know if you can reactions to it. But you should see him in Luther. That show is great. Idris does an amazing job in it as a homicide detecive.
I new Idris was British, I had seen him in a vampire show called Ultraviolet. McNulty speaking with a very posh RP British accent was a total shock though!
It remains the biggest crime in the series that Andre Royo didn't get every acting award there is for his job portraying Bubs. Heart-wrenching seeing him struggle with his addiction. ...Oh, and minor point: they're not saying "knockos," they're saying "narcos." Apparently the closed-captioning crew could use some help from Prez.
I find Jay to be one of the most interesting characters in the whole show. Is he a company man? Real police? His interaction with Santangelo this episode adds some layers.
Bird is portrayed by Rapper Fredro Star from the platinum selling group Onyx. They had a huge hit song in the early 90s called "Slam".
Live like The Wire
This was edited great, your commentary was excellent.
11:34 It would be worthwhile to bear in mind Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some cops just aren't good at their job as we saw in this episode with Santangelo.
You keep saying, you have a soft spot for the kids... You're in season 1. You ain't seen noth'n yet.
Janet, this has been easily my favorite Wire reaction. Thanks for that.
Thank you very much for your messages 🥹
Bubs is one of my favorite characters. I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say that his character arc extends over the whole series.
I love seeing his journey and really looked forward to what’s next with him
You may remember day day as ashy larry/day day/other characters from the chapelle show
i love how it turns that while prez is an absolutely terrible cop, he's a great analyst.
Yes! It’s been great watching him figure out his element
Out of curiosity what is your first language
i can barely hear the wire show part of it, your volume is good. still will watch tho! (thanks for the subtitles)
Apologies 🙏🏼 I’ll continue to work on finding a good audio balance. Thank you for watching 😊
The writing is great but the actor/Musician who had the 12 step speech probably wrote a lot of it himself. Not sure if you saw the tattoo on his arm but that's Steve Earle the multiple Grammy winning musician of Copperhead Road fame. Also well known as a reformed heroin addict and he also lost his son/fellow musician 2 years ago to heroin. He also plays the theme song for the final season. There's some other great musicians in the series including Method Man from The Wu Tang Clan. Great work on the Reaction vids!
Volume of the Wire is so low I literally can't hear it - I have a fairly new iMac. I have to turn on the cc captions to know what they're saying. Love the channel though!
Ahhh sound is one of my biggest struggles still 🥲 I’m still working on finding a good balance. Thanks for watching 💙
Sound is perfect for me.
@@elbow8144 Same for me, I don't know if there was a fresh re-upload (if that's even a thing?) but the volume of the show was no issue at all for me.
Wait till you get to season 4. It's gonna be your favorite.
Too hard on Prez?? He blinded a child bc he "pissed him off" ...naw not too hard AT ALL
10:39 everyone loves Bubbs
It's been 11 days girl, What's up with that.
"He think he can buy me with a Reese's cup" ha ha!!
Like you've mentioned, a lot of characters are based off of real ones, or otherwise the show writers used their own personal experience, but some characters also draw from their own life as well. Waylon, one of the guys speaking at the drug meeting Bubs and "Mr Green" attend, the one who said he's lost a good wife, bad girlfriend, etc, is country/rock/folk singer & songwriter Steve Earle. Married 7 times, and to the same woman twice through this, with 4 kids from 4 different mothers, he had to deal with heroin addiction problems a few years before this show, so there's very little 'acting' on his part when his character is involved in a scene. That's what makes them all appear so real, so genuine.
Thanks for your great reactions - has led me to rediscovering this show. It really is fantastic television and writing. Builds a little slower than a lot of current television, but also really develops the characters and makes them seem so very real to us. Keep up the great work and enjoy the show!
Glad you like them! Thank you!! (:

The idea that a case wouldn't be investigated thoroughly solely because of corruption... Oh you sweet summer child. 😂
Loved the reaction, thank you for uploading!
Know exactly what you mean, with every forgein language I do the same, if it sounds right is probably right.
Lol glad I’m not alone in that 💙 thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@janandduke4216 since we thanking each other😂 i liked the way you sounded so I bought the same mic you are using. Like it alot, thx. Have a nice rest of your day and keep up the good work🤌
Love watching your reactions to this amazing show. Thank you. I'll check out some of your streams and other shows.
Your vids are awesome, keep it up.
no true american distinguishes then from than.
I think that's a good ESL rule cause most people know what you're talking about. Some people will get pedantic but there's only few times where it ever really matters.
The thing that always gets me about Kima's saying "that's it" to a guilty plea and drug court is she has no idea how much that would affect someone's life and ability to right themselves. She's only been on the side that doles it out. Similar thing happens with Daniels' words to the kid. He can't even get his department to give him proper guidance, what material support can he offer this kid that he pretty much helped enable not getting proper recompense. He can't move him out of the neighborhood, give him money. Just guilt-laden words.
There's a lot in this episode to show how calloused they are to the people they interact with everyday, capped with that beating scene.
I agree!! While editing and rewatching the interaction with Daniels I couldn’t help but think he and the department were a part of the problem and his actions were out of guilt. Thank you for watching 😊
@@janandduke4216 oh a huge part of the series is about how the drug problem isn't just on drug dealers and abusers, but law enforcement, the education system, and politics.
