Hands down, you two are the only reactor/commentators I really care to hear from 👏🏾. Looking forward to the discussion!

Appreciate the ongoing Michael discussion being treated in a sensitive way All of the reactions from the boys are consistent with their background, we understand why each of them respond to rules (law) the way they do Randy responds to the world in a way that lots of kids in the foster system do. He’s seen that rules around him aren’t gonna serve his needs, they aren’t worth following unless it’s to please someone who has power over his life (like his Vice Principal this episode) Namond has always been around people who almost completely disregard law and rules so it makes sense why he wouldn’t respect his teachers, he thinks they can’t offer him anything Duquan is an outsider in the most tragic ways possible. He’s bullied for being different in ways he can’t control. It makes sense why he would be sympathetic to the girl who attacked the other student. She’s also a suffering outsider who’s bullied for being different. He doesn’t fight the rules because he’s been beaten down and believes nothing will change The system fails all types of kids in different ways

Don't know if it's been said before ; but David Simon actually wrote a book about his experience as a journalist that's called Baltimore (at least in my country) and he makes a point about saying that even cops that are used to seeing death and bodies have to kind of joke about it in order to cope with the trauma about it. If they see a dead body they don't even think about it as some people, it's just an object and they just joke about it because how else can you cope with it when you see that every day of your life ? So I think the detectives bullying Kima on her first days and even putting a note in one of the bodies' hands is spot on (at least it's spot on on how Simon describes it)

I think this is overlooked. I am suspicious of police as much as anyone, but lets not overlook the mental strain on dealing with this type of work every day for years.

“Omar ain’t no terrorist he’s just another nigga with a gun” underrated but one of my favorite quotes. Sure there’s cats in the hood who do more work than others but in reality there are several Omars

It's really funny how much y'all hate Marlo... Because if you ever watch the show called "Bosch" it's an amazing show 10 out of 10. The actor that plays Marlo, Jamie Hector is actually a detective, and a lovable character, the exact opposite of Marlo on "The Wire". Funny enough a lot of the same actors from "the wire" show up in "Bosch". It's like a reunion in a lot of episodes. Lance Reddick (detective Daniel's) is a big part of that show as well.

Really appreciate these reactions even when they can be emotionally draining. I'm happy to wait for them and don't expect every single aspect of the show to be covered. Don't want to get burnt out on it.

We're only on episode 4 and they're all really distraught lmao

Me watching them discuss this show. "Well that's prescient. And that....and that too." The clairvoyance is really something.

Randy Wagstaff (kid caught selling candy).......try to remember why that last name, Wagstaff, should sound familiar to you.

(From “All the Pieces Matters: The Inside Story of The Wire”)—————————DARRELL BRITT-GIBSON (DARIUS “O-DOG” HILL): I’m in LA, and this lady comes up to me. I’m in a conversation, and she sort of politely interrupts the conversation and she says, “You’re on The Wire.” Then, within five minutes, she’s sobbing and she’s telling me this story of how she is a schoolteacher and how Season Four ripped her apart because she said, “I teach those kids.” She’s sobbing, and everybody is kind of looking at the conversation, and I embraced her. In that moment, I said, “Oh my God, this is bigger than television.”
