Levi was the biggest gangster on the show. He played both sides of the game. Got Herc to be his running boy, laughed in Stringer's faced after he got played by Clay Davis, made a ton of money while never touching a G pack, shooting a pistol, standing on a block, running from police, etc. He got paid enormous amounts of money from those who DID do those things. All rewards with none of the risks. Just to make it home to enjoy his wife's brisket.
You really sold Levy short when you said he "only" won D'Angelo's case. Getting Marlo's case dismissed took a lot of mental chess playing to pull off. He was being blackmailed. Instead of caving in, he called Rhonda's bluff and looked out for his client. He also managed to keep Stringer out of jail and get Avon a light sentence (that he was able to get heavily reduced) when the police and district attorneys knew they were behind the killing of a witness as well as being the biggest kingpins in town. When Kima got shot, he got Savino charged with defrauding a drug dealer. He also managed to communicate threats to Orlando when he was in county jail. The man isn't a lawyer. He's a magician.
I feel you but it’s true. Because every case you just named was the result of a plea bargain. I gave him props for his negotiation skills, but it was only deangelos case that he beat in trial. Which is much more impressive. Avon and marlo both have people 100% willing to fall for them, so levy’s job is not as difficult as you think.
@@AMansWorldPodcast Agree to disagree, I guess. I think keeping the cases out of the courtroom in the first place is more impressive than winning a trial-- especially in the cases I mentioned. Don't get me wrong. I like your videos a lot. I just found your channel and I can tell that I've finally found someone who has seen the Wire as many times as I have.
@@AMansWorldPodcast hey I just wanted to follow up. Someone just liked my comment so I got a notification and I re-read your answer. You're right that Avon and Marlo both have people willing to take charges for them (most of the time). That was a good point. They did have Marlo dead to rights though. Marlo got lucky because McNulty built the case on dirty evidence. I'm still not all that impressed with Billy Murphy. It's not like he's an amazing legal mind. He just turned Clay Davis (the most blatantly corrupt politician in the show) into a cause that the jurors would get behind. He knew how to play to the crowd-- DEFINITELY. He did a good job. I just still think you're selling Levy short lol. Like I said, nothing but love. Your videos are great and I love your analysis.
@@AMansWorldPodcast sometimes a plea is the only option. I’d rather have billy for the court room, but he knows how to make deals that don’t involve snitching
In the Wire, the city of Baltimore is riddled with corruption from top to bottom, in every institution and down to the man on the street. Baltimore is the real villain of the show. Levy is a symptom, like Marlo, Avon, Burrell, Valchek, Clay Davis, Royce and Carcetti. The city is terminally I’ll with corruption, moral laziness, dishonesty and careerism. Cops who try to do good police work get punished for it. Gangsters trying to ply their trade with anything resembling a moral compass end up dead. Guys like Levy known this and become part of the rotten system not because they are necessarily bad people but because the system itself is bad.
I just watched the scene where DeAngelo told Wallace to go back to school, and D told Wallace how he also had a good heart. You should do a video about how Wallace and DeAngelo were just alike. Kind of seemed like DeAngelo was trying to save Wallace from what he was going through. Like he was telling Wallace to do what he wanted to do but his mom, and uncle got in the way. Remember how Avon at the family barbeque asked D's BM to "give me my little soldier", when he asked to hold D'd baby boy. Wallace and DeAngelo were basically the same person. Both had the same outcome too. Both ordered by the same person. Crazy.
I feel what you saying bro,but the only thing deangelo and Wallace got in common is that they weren’t built to be in the game in the first place and they both snitched🤷🏿♂️. And Dee was only trying to save Wallace because he knew Avon and stringer were looking for him. Otherwise the subject of going back to school would’ve never came up
As a former defense attorney for 10 years in St. Louis, you really nailed this one. I pray you get well soon, in Allah's will. I can tell you are a soldier 🪖 Your content really gives me direction. I learn alot from you. Peace be unto you brother. 🙏
@@stldrop As-Salaamu Alaikum Eugene...you were once a defense attorney do you disagree with my comment? if so can you please reply to what i said. Shukrun Akhi
Really sorry to hear about your health issues MWP. Wish you a speedy recovery and good health, and look forward seeing more of your amazing analyses. God bless!
Levy was the biggest pimp in baltimore. While he was a master negotiatior he was exactly what he accused Omar of being: ammoral. Being in the profession he is does require an appropriate amount of ammorality and this is what made him good at what he did. The ability to seperate his own personal feelings for the benefit of his client. One thing I liked about The Wire was the realism. Many people don't know that its estimated that 90 to 95 percent of state and federal cases in the United States end in a plea deal. Most people don't have the money or assets to be able to afford a trial. Couple that with the fear of losing and getting the higher sentence and you can see why this is the case. Levy shined behind the scenes but may have not been the best trial attorney like you mentioned. These facts is what makes having a code of honor so important. Very rarely do you see a Wee Bey take accountability and stay solid while facing the amount of time he did. Like you mentoned attorneys, prosecutors, and the entire court system in general rely on your fear and desperation in order to get convictions. Oh and nice touch with explaining the 8th commandment with the original Hebrew. Shalom.
Nice work again. I was always a sneaky fan of Levy to be honest. How he played the game skillfully, never really put himself in that much danger, and lived his version of the American Dream.
Levy was my favorite character in the whole damn show. Dude was about his bread and they ended up doing him dirt by writing him into a corner that he had to become a weasel in order to get out of. Feel like he’d had been better than to get caught up on a wire. Dude knew they were using wires to investigate Avon, so he’d know what he could and couldn’t say. They essentially had to dumb down his character in order to get him caught up and that didn’t vibe well w/ me
I know the Murphy Family Through My Grandmother, Who Worked For His Mother, I never met Billy only His Mother and Some other Family Members She would send Gift for us every Christmas. Love what you Do Having Grown up in Cherry Hill and East Baltimore. Keep Bring it Me Breddah 🤙🤘
One of the things I appreciate about your podcast sir is that you understand as not enough people in any life station do that attempting to understand another’s flaws and shortcomings doesn’t mean you have to excuse them. As an autistic individual who firmly believes that genuine efforts to reach out require the right balance between challenge and empathy, I have seen no other podcast on the Wire that comes as close to matching that balance as yours sir. I may not share your god (even for my interest in Brother Mouzone which I wrote about in a comment to you that might have been overlong) but I know well enough that even differing foundations have room for common ground. I’m sorry for your recent health issues and hope we will see you again here soon.
Internet, here's how you know this channel is next level: he catches the "gonif' reference and breaks it down. It's a throwaway line, used to add texture to Levy, a Jewish character, showing him as a Yiddish speaker. Outside my tribe, I would have expected the line to just fly over the head of a viewer, but note, A Man's World catches it, and KNOWS not just the meaning of the word, but the connotations of its usage. Bravo!
Big wire fan and it wasn’t till I came across your channel that I felt like no one really spoke about the scenes and meaning as I thought of them coming from hard times. You have my same thoughts on a lot of these videos I’ve watched every video of yours about the wire. Amazing detail keep it up
your videos are always golden! i see levy as the mastermind, he understood the law which put him in a position where gangsters valued their advice, giving the lawyer the ability to manipulate the drug economy
Levy was good, but getting Clay Davis out of that mess was a masterclass. Bill Murphy is the best lawyer in Baltimore. "whatever that was, they dont teach it in Law school"
I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. It’s crazy what you said about those tests. Great insite. I appreciate the details about Levy’s religious background and the producers’ lack of compromise, keeping things real.
Omar is the reflection of Levy. Levy didn't understand Omar but the funny thing is Omar saw where Levy was weak. So while Levy thought he had Omar down and out Omar simply reflected that back on Levy which completely broke his composure. Levy probably didn't expect Omar to keep his composure and reflect back at him so he lets his mask down. Omar lives high pressure situation I'm which he keeps composure so seeing Levy start to get worked Omar just figured "that's your weakness, that's why you're so worked up at me". Omar did probably feel there's something immoral in his rip and run approach so he was initially taken aback but he's able to recover and reflect back in court as good as Levy despite no ligation training.
My son came home one day and asked me about different shows that I liked. He asked me about The Wire and I smiled and told him that’s the best show that has ever been made in my opinion. The reason I smiled is because he’s 21 and I’m 49. I told him I was watching this show since you were 5 and he didn’t know🤣🤷🏾♂️
I'm 23 and love the show so much. I can relate to season 4 boxing scenes and the boys . It's so crazy how the kids were acting so naturally . Reminds me so much of Garland police boxing gym❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the wire update, man I enjoy character analysis! Your insightful scrutiny of these wire yo's led me to this character analysis TH-cam channel called The Vile Eye. I watch him while you are reloading man's world w/ new content. And yes Levey is the biggest slime of them all, even more slimy than rat-shot Mouzzone.
Stay healthy brother and thank you again for your sharp, sharp analysis of another Wire character. That clip of Jimmy going off on Levy was my favorite. Salute boss!
You need a bigger following homez , I dig your input on these vidz… personally feel you you deserve a bigger subscription base … best wishes and a speedy recovery
Would love to see you break down Power Book 2, it’s no where near the same level as the wire but I know you’d make it worth while. Keep up the great work 💪🏾💯💯
@Nia L thanks 💯 but honestly the power books are not that good to me. I’ll do the first 3 seasons of power soon (the original). Those first 3 were outstanding. The last ones not so much 🤔
Yoooooooooo gangsta hood to hear you Ight and bless up and get all the way good you heard!!! But dam we been FIENDIN for another wire joint brody good lookin out!!!! Nobody do it like my G, A Mans World you heard!!!! Salute 💯
My brotha, my brotha, you our teaching our folks✊🏿 a valuable lesson through our favorite tv show. Our tribe ✊🏿 must learn not to praise and worship those other tribes like they are smarter and better than us just because they have titles behind their names. The world moves through us and our talent and excellence. All the unnecessary praise to the mediocre religious and ethnic tribes is what’s keeping us insecure and mentally weak. Thank you for showcasing their plans in the legal system. Our tribe✊🏿 have always been better lawyers and doctors and builders. But we run to give other tribes our money when it comes to these services. Getting over this mental hurdle is necessary for our greatness. And your education is the fastest way there brotha!
I ove the wire! And you are honestly so smart the way you break down the character’s. Can you please do the characters of paid in full or new jack city? Anyway this was a great video. Sorry to hear about your health issues, hope you recover. Sending good vibes.
Great video brother .. glad your still making videos an covid can’t keep a strong brother down . I agree 💯 percent levy was definitely one of the biggest thieves in the wire . Used String , Avon , an Marlo like some useless pawns on the chess board. He gave Props to Joe for delivering Marlo before he was killed . Levy was about the 💰 period . I can’t believe him . Like the saying goes . “The game is the game “ thanks for posting brother stay strong 💪🏾.
Your breakdowns of this series is on point. The in depth look at these characters is fascinating. Always a pleasure to watch and contemplate. Get well soon and look forward to a brighter tomorrow !
Dude... i really love these intense breakdowns of the characters on this show. I subscribed of course, u did good making this channel. The wire is definitely one of the best tv shows ever written, if not the best. It is a beloved crime-drama unicorn amongst similar type shows past and present. You should expand these breakdowns to other great shows.... like Oz, prison break, or movies like the Departed. Great work!
Yo Fam, you talk! God bless you and your health and everything else. I find you to be a genuine dude and I respect you. Longevity in all things! Peace God
Hope you feeling better bruh.I had that Covid 19 too.It had me down for two weeks.You are on point with Levi and Stringer I don’t know why he didn’t go to Levi as soon as he started dealing with Clay Davis.Stringer though he could handle legit business like the street business and he got played.
Salute to you brother, I hope you are getting better, your breakdowns are the truth. Once you are done breaking down the wire I have another show that I would like to hear your opinion on.
I love how this show handles liminal space. Characters that have one foot in the door and one out. This video really captures that well. There's other examples - Stringer (businessman or druglord), Omar (hero or villain), etc. It's juxtaposed against the overarching themes of future and past. New school or OG. Love your work, my man! Your own life experience adds so much to your analysis and shows just how accurate and authentic The Wire is.
I love that about this show as well, but I'm not sure I see it as putting the characters in liminal space so much as giving them depth and texture. That's really rare anymore... cops are always squeaky clean good guys and the robbers are always deceitful and honor-less. Boils down to lazy writing, and targeting their show for people who are playing candy crush on th3eir phones while watching. Simon (et al) didn't write for those people, he wrote for viewers that are willing to invest their attention and time into his stories, and in return they got complex characters with contradictions... Cops with skeletons in their closets (Lt Daniels) and Bad Guys with generous hearts (Avon, Marlo, Spiros). Put a character like that into CSI or Law and Order and you'd confuse the sh!t out of every housewife in America, LOL.
Hope U r feeln better 1st of all, Ur analogy made me pull out the ole BLUE RAY! Wire Binge here I come. Even watchn Season II again, All with a new Perspective thanx 2 U Swartz!
Levy in some ways was also the main shot caller for some of the high level executions from Barksdale's crew like 2 witnesses of the court and such. Hope you are doing well now. Recover up soon.
Man your are the best. Speedy recovery. The majors need to give you a tv deal or consultant. 50 should hire you to consult on these shows. They missing out Are on another level with the editing also
This is an awesome interpretative video essay. Reminds me of why Don Corleone made sure Tom Hagen went to law school "a lawyer can steal more in one hour than 100 men with guns." Both excellent interpretations of how much of a role that court officials can have in making or breaking the "System."
Bro Bro I been waiting on your next jawn. I started back from Season 1. The Wire is still my number 1 show ever. Shit Levy reminded me of all the lawyers in Philly.
Levi was the biggest gangster on the show.
He played both sides of the game. Got Herc to be his running boy, laughed in Stringer's faced after he got played by Clay Davis, made a ton of money while never touching a G pack, shooting a pistol, standing on a block, running from police, etc.
He got paid enormous amounts of money from those who DID do those things. All rewards with none of the risks. Just to make it home to enjoy his wife's brisket.
ah shabbos chicken, whatevah happened there
Lmaooo you nailed it 👏
Facts lol 💯

Who would Levy be on the chessboard? Bishop?
You really sold Levy short when you said he "only" won D'Angelo's case. Getting Marlo's case dismissed took a lot of mental chess playing to pull off. He was being blackmailed.

Billy Murphy is a REAL lawyer and is the best lawyer in Baltimore. I've seen his work personally. Really the best lawyer in Maryland.
The best scene he is in is when he's cross-examining Omar.
100% Facts it was 1 of the hard truths lol
Right!! Omar shamed him lolp
Facts!
I like the scene where Pearlman hymed him up in the office about Marlo's plea and when he told Stringer he was "rain made" by Clay Davis.😂
When he slapped DeAngelo upside the head for writing that letter @ the police station 🤣 that was a close second
"You wanted to be in the game......now you're in the game"- Maurice Levy
As Jesee Pinkman says in breaking bad " He's not just a criminal lawyer...He's a CRIMINAL LAWYER"...

Ahk I’m locked in for these. And your expose of the series is methodical and highly analytical…. My man dissected the Hebrew 🔑
Great video brother .. glad your still making videos an covid can’t keep a strong brother down . I agree 💯 percent levy was definitely one of the biggest thieves in the wire .

The wire is definitely one of the best tv shows ever written, if not the best. It is a beloved crime-drama unicorn amongst similar type shows past and present. You should expand these breakdowns to other great shows.... like Oz, prison break, or movies like the Departed. Great work!
I hope ur doing better with ur health. Ur a good guy and world needs more men like you not less.
Yo Fam, you talk! God bless you and your health and everything else. I find you to be a genuine dude and I respect you. Longevity in all things! Peace God
This break down is amazing. The money. The laws. Development and politics. This channel is underrated
Hope you feeling better bruh.I had that Covid 19 too.It had me down for two weeks.You are on point with Levi and Stringer I don’t know why he didn’t go to Levi as soon as he started dealing with Clay Davis.Stringer though he could handle legit business like the street business and he got played.
Yea bro me too, it’s been 3 weeks 🤦🏽♂️
Bruh yo videos are the shit I love the wire and I fw the way you break it down while I smoke my woodz.
Sorry to hear about you health issues brother. Get better and stay healthy. And once again, great video😎🙏
Shieeeeeeet if Levi gets a video then we should definitely get one for the man that played Stringer Bell like a piano. Clay Davis was a boss.
Clay is the ultimate gangsta..i can't wait for his vidéo...
Salute to you brother, I hope you are getting better, your breakdowns are the truth. Once you are done breaking down the wire I have another show that I would like to hear your opinion on.
Bro I luv what u doing with the videos ..this is sum deep shit...keep up the good work ....
I love how this show handles liminal space. Characters that have one foot in the door and one out. This video really captures that well. There's other examples - Stringer (businessman or druglord), Omar (hero or villain), etc. It's juxtaposed against the overarching themes of future and past. New school or OG.
Love your work, my man! Your own life experience adds so much to your analysis and shows just how accurate and authentic The Wire is.
I love that about this show as well, but I'm not sure I see it as putting the characters in liminal space so much as giving them depth and texture. That's really rare anymore... cops are always squeaky clean good guys and the robbers are always deceitful and honor-less. Boils down to lazy writing, and targeting their show for people who are playing candy crush on th3eir phones while watching.
Simon (et al) didn't write for those people, he wrote for viewers that are willing to invest their attention and time into his stories, and in return they got complex characters with contradictions... Cops with skeletons in their closets (Lt Daniels) and Bad Guys with generous hearts (Avon, Marlo, Spiros). Put a character like that into CSI or Law and Order and you'd confuse the sh!t out of every housewife in America, LOL.
Sorry about the covid......another great character breakdown. Would luv to see one on Lester.
Hope U r feeln better 1st of all, Ur analogy made me pull out the ole BLUE RAY! Wire Binge here I come. Even watchn Season II again, All with a new Perspective thanx 2 U
Swartz!
U still my favorite youtuber till dis day ... Till dis day !!!
Levy in some ways was also the main shot caller for some of the high level executions from Barksdale's crew like 2 witnesses of the court and such.
Hope you are doing well now. Recover up soon.
He definitively was as Bad as stringer...a true Monster...
Agree, still I love Levy since he is best at what he does, agree his methods were outside the law but he still excelled greatly.
My pops always told me that lawyers are liars and whoever tell the best lie wins.
Be well, my friend! Being from West Baltimore I love your channel and how expertly you break down The Wire.
That was a shining moment for Mc Nulty.
I been waiting for another video. Right on time
“I got the shotgun and you got the briefcase, but I guess it’s all in the game”
One of the most important characters in the Wire and the real world 🌎 thanks 🙏 for not overlooking
Dude... you hit this on so many levels.
I have got to give you a subscribe!
Man your are the best. Speedy recovery. The majors need to give you a tv deal or consultant. 50 should hire you to consult on these shows. They missing out Are on another level with the editing also
I’ve loved every single video you ever put on your channel for us to enjoy, Salute yo you brody💪🏾💯
Thanks bro I truly appreciate that💯💯💯
❤ ya Channel bro. Keep us going with your Wire Breakdowns and get Healthy!!
This is an awesome interpretative video essay. Reminds me of why Don Corleone made sure Tom Hagen went to law school "a lawyer can steal more in one hour than 100 men with guns." Both excellent interpretations of how much of a role that court officials can have in making or breaking the "System."
Love from Baltimore, Maryland 💯🔥🔥💯💪💪 Keep going my Dude 💪💯
Hope you are feeling better. This fantastic channel is worthy of the source material you discuss, I can think of no higher praise!
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2022. I'll be here for the A1 content.
Praying for your full and speedy recovery bro. Your analysis is SO on point. I hope you continue to prosper.

This actor did fantastic job playing this roll.
I believe that role is the reason why the powers that be didn't allow The Wire series to win any awards
