They all have their unique charm. Jimmy, Stringer, Bunk, Lester, Bubs, Frank Sobotka, Daniels, Tommy Carcetti, ''Bunny'' Colvin, Carver, Herc, Omar, D'angelo, Chris, Snoop, Prop Joe, Duke, Michael, Namond, Prez and the list goes on Hell, even Marlo.

Gidina S Did you forget about Wallace’s remorse when he realized the full implications of his phone call? The guilt literally turned him into a drug addict. Also, we don’t know what Brandon had done, but we never see him kill or even shoot anyone. I don’t think he deserved to die the way he did. Stringer Bell ordered D killed and then played the comforting family friend to Breanna after making her think her only son killed himself. That’s one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen.

Haven't seen the 5th season yet but I'm with you on Bunk and Freamon being great characters. But season 3 did me in on McNulty. McNulty was the definition of a douche bag, as he banged chicks and got drunk out of his mind every single night, all while providing 0 support for his family and consistently pissing off his coworkers with little to no consideration for anyone other than himself. Part of me thought he was never gonna grow up. Glad he seemed to get his stuff together in season 4, but by season 3's end I had all had it with Stringer and McNulty. They were bugging hard and both got what they deserved. McNulty finally realized he was a bum, but I despised the man he became in season 3.

What a fantastic show, and hell, what an amazing casting of actors. One better than another, really liked every single one of them, how they got into the character that they are in The Wire. They all have their unique charm. Jimmy, Stringer, Bunk, Lester, Bubs, Frank Sobotka, Daniels, Tommy Carcetti, ''Bunny'' Colvin, Carver, Herc, Omar, D'angelo, Chris, Snoop, Prop Joe, Duke, Michael, Namond, Prez and the list goes on Hell, even Marlo. I had a nightmare with that guy. Hats off to one hell of a TV show. 10/10

I wanted OMAR to survive.....he was a great character. Yes would of loved to see Marlo out. He was just too cold blooded. Very sinister. I mean all those bodies in those abandos??? Phew. And Avon could come home. But i loved bodie as well, but i wanted to see his character grow and evolve even more. What i didnt like was he really didnt have much of a storyline outside of standing on the corner. For being a Lt. He should have been able to have a decent crib, a car and where did he live?

Gidina S Did you forget about Wallace’s remorse when he realized the full implications of his phone call? The guilt literally turned him into a drug addict. Also, we don’t know what Brandon had done, but we never see him kill or even shoot anyone. I don’t think he deserved to die the way he did. Stringer Bell ordered D killed and then played the comforting family friend to Breanna after making her think her only son killed himself. That’s one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen.
Many series have come close but no series I have ever watched has had me hooked like the Wire. You can watch it 3,4 even 5 times and still learn more each time than a single season of some shows.

Best cast ever on a show. These guys are masters of their craft. Even the kids!
I just started watching the wire about a month ago & I like how 3 of the black characters from the walking dead are in it. Cool to see them all in completely differant roles.
I'll take seasons 3 & 4 of The Wire over 95% of all other television any day.
Excellent show The hoppers in school was a great part of the story it shows how it starts Everything begins with how you were raised Parents that can't take care of themselves sending their babys out unprepared and the cycle repeats
Bodie or JD Williams sound the same in real life and on the tv show LOL
I just can’t believe these ppl were all actors, such a tremendous job
The wire may have been the most grittiest show of its genre!! It makes power look like a day time soap!
I Start WATCHING FROM season 1 on....It still has me wanting more. Love to see the actors now showing up on different movies, shows, music videos and reality shows. Talking about career cases, thus was a career series!
7:00 Ms. Holley. My middle school Principal. She's the reason the Wire used us as the students for season 4. Great experience.
all great seasons, 4 is my favorite and 2 and 5 are so underrated
THE WIRE, IS ONE THE TRUE SHOWS I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE AND TIME.
i am marvelling at michael k williams staying in character-- manner of speech-- as these interviews were conducted. really cool.
That little hop-back reaction from Omar because of the recoil .... I LOOOVE that split second.
So many great characters. All the actors did an amazing job.

Haven't seen the 5th season yet but I'm with you on Bunk and Freamon being great characters. But season 3 did me in on McNulty. McNulty was the definition of a douche bag, as he banged chicks and got drunk out of his mind every single night, all while providing 0 support for his family and consistently pissing off his coworkers with little to no consideration for anyone other than himself. Part of me thought he was never gonna grow up. Glad he seemed to get his stuff together in season 4, but by season 3's end I had all had it with Stringer and McNulty. They were bugging hard and both got what they deserved. McNulty finally realized he was a bum, but I despised the man he became in season 3.
how this show didn't win any Emmy's is baffling.

1:11 I swear Bodie is like the love of my life 😭
When the school year was in I was where is this going now. But to be fair they were excellent. 20 year on and it's still a fresh show to watch
The kids were amazing in their parts and I can't think of any other show that gives the time and effort in the story lines to the kids story and is so integral to the whole plot. Just a master class...no one is not giving it their all. They don't make enough of this class of show
I cannot be the only one who wants to watch the whole thing again after watching this
brilliant, masterpiece of television
This actors were so good, have never felt connected to any show at this level. The Wire is Gold Standard of Television.
really good Wire upload. thanks
David Simon looks so smart. The kind of guy you want to talk to all night long.
It's strange looking back on the Wire and realizing just how many faces were actually part of the prison drama, Oz.

10 out of 10 to all the casting people
MY FAVE INTERVIEW OF "THE WIRE"
One thing change in the script that was needed was changing "Pryzbylewski" to "Przybylewski", cause the second one is a real polish name. They needed to add a line that told that the guy at immigration made a typo and it stuck. Sort of like Vito got surname Corleone. *That is my biggest criticism of the entire show, it is almost too perfect to be honest :P*
