The Wire at 20 Official Podcast | Episode 7 with Idris Elba and Jermaine Crawford | HBO

The Wire boldly wiped its slate clean in Season 3, rerouting the show moving forward. Idris Elba discusses the slow dissolution of Stringer Bell and Avon Barksdale's relationship and The Wire's use of humor. Then host Method Man goes deep on what many people consider The Wire's best season: Season 4. Jermaine Crawford recalls the pleasures and pains of playing Dukie, Alexa Fogel explains the challenge of casting child actors, and both Ed Burns and Jim True-Frost reflect on their portrayal of the Baltimore public education system.

    In the closing montage after Season 5 when the writers torture us with the shot of Dukie about to shoot up, every time I see the scene I want to reach into the TV and prevent it, yelling STOP! It's hard to watch even after 10 viewings.

    One part of the school season I wished was looked at a little more is the way that Randy gets leveraged by the Headmistress threatening him losing his FOSTER HOME. She knows how much Randy is terrified of it, and holds that fear over him to use him. It's such a cruel use of power, but I don't think I've ever seen it commented on

    The third season of the wire may be the greatest in the history of television. It had every element of life rolled up into one season. Season for is running a close second

    I just now finished The Wire as I type this! The Wire was one of the best Tv shows of all time along with The Sopranos! I wasn't expecting the ending to be so distant. In the end of the show everyone in The Wire got a chance to either become better or worse good or bad. But I will say this show and I mean only this show had the best acting I've ever seen! Every character in the show played their role and very well! They all had a specialty to their own character the way they played and acted it out in a way that seem so Baltimorean! I will miss this show. It's not important but the show was so black and white but I assume that's how the real city of Baltimore is. Im bummed out because it could of had more seasons to the show but despite that it will stand as one of the great shows of all time! Even the Outro song was so good! But one last time I will say this show was Great from beginning to end of ever season and episode! Thanks to all the Actors and Writers and Producers who made this great show happen!

    Stringer was that character that you hated but you also loved him because he was such a presence. The show was just as good after his death but for me it was never the same without Stringer.

    @@thewkovacs316 hey, dude, if you enjoyed it, more power to you! My point that was this format allows you to really highlight a certain segment of the story or a certain actor's performance without losing focus and ending up a bit rambly. If you enjoy that over this, I am sure that format itself played some role in it.

However, there is a weather forecast that the rainy season will start again tomorrow. I wish you good health and good things for the rest of the week. Thank you very much.

    prezbo's one shining moment as a cop was breaking the barksdale gang's communication code, 'good with numbers i guess.' 3 seasons later he's left the force and trying out teaching numbers to kids while recognizing parallels in failing systems, 'juking the stats.' just one of the reasons season 4 is the best.
