THE WIRE S3 EPISODE 12 (Season Finale)

This! I miss the days where public outrage actually kept good shows on air🥺

Tina Durant

Yall gotta watch Sons Of Anarchy bro yall got to

Poncho Williams

Avon would have to finish out his parole caught with all those guns & felons in that situation. So at minimum he’s gonna do 5 more to equal the 7 years.

Nikki

Stringer f**ked Avon royally.

Nikki

Seriously lol.

Nikki

Avon was regretful at the moment but he was right. Stringer was wrong. Everything Stringer was able to do business wise was on the strength of the Barksdale brand & all the sweat equity Avon put in them streets. Avon “lost the war” because he was steadily sabotaged by Stringer who wanted to merge corporate sensibilities into thug culture and take over as CEO. If Stringer didn’t give up Avon to Colvin, I think Avon would’ve bested Marlo or died trying. And if Avon had left with Shamrock to meet up with Slim Charles, he wouldn’t have been in the spot when the cops raided AND he would’ve eliminated Marlo. The corners actually matter a lot to the business model and THAT is what Stringer forgot.

Nikki

How did I miss this drop! I was waiting! 🤣

Nikki

I think you’re supposed to believe the character read the books. However being book smart it’s self isn’t enough. And even smart people make mistakes.

Nikki

Slim Charles is a real hood brother. He’s born & raised in DC, spent time in the streets, shot several times and survived. He’s also the front man of a well known go-go band - the Backyard Band. And he’s a community activist.

Nikki

Exactly…. And in the end …. The king Stay the King

Stan Ross

I don't think Avon lost the Marlo won by default that's just my opinion

Oday145

Kangdarius

Pacman24

black summer was ass lol

Pacman24

A lot of people who saw the show back in the day forget that this was supposed to be the last season. That’s why everything seems so final. The popularity of the show brought it back.

Joe B

Banshee will have you hooked from the very first episode.

Joe B

Jae Amanda

Everyone’s favorite season we really got high hopes for it

Jae Amanda

“If it’s a lie, we fight on that lie” maaaaan slim got LINES. He deliver them shits like a real hood nicca too. Love that character. EDIT: Kima out here looking like me 🤣🤣 EDIT: Daniels out here thinking he me lol I kid I kid

Kangdarius

Maaaan fuck all these law shows ppl requesting. Watch a show called banshee. That shit is liiiit. Twist and turns and great villains. A lot of folks late to the party on it but it was top 10 on max for awhile. I guarantee yall will love it. Nobody I introduced to it, didn’t.

Kangdarius

!!!

Jae Amanda

He seem like it

Jae Amanda

Ohhhh mannn we ready! 😂

Jae Amanda

For real!!!

Jae Amanda

CUTTYYY! I forgot about him! He’s definitely up there, but in terms of the main plot, he felt more like a side quest storyline to me. I messed with his character ode tho he’s probably 3rd on my list for this season for what he’s doing with the kids after coming from a similar background as them

Jae Amanda

I believe Avon continued the war because his beef was with Marlo about those corners. The soldiers thought were avenging Stringer, but Avon's motives was to get the corners by any means.

Mr. B

Yall should definitely check out " How to get away with murder " I'm positive you will love this show

Lola

And TV show recommendation is Reasonable Doubt. 2 seasons. Look it up, it’s a good show

B.Laster

Jae I’m surprised u didn’t say Cutty as your favorite. I know u like his evolution so far. But good reaction as always and don’t wait too long to start season 4.

B.Laster

Yall should check out Succession if you want a show in a different lane. The writing is on par with the Wire. The Sopranos would also be a good watch. I’m hype for season 4 tho bouts peak television imo

SM2189

Yall will fw season 4. I know yall were used to the barksdale crew running shit but the show stays on the right course. The show gets darker as well in season 4. It’s great tv & a new direction.

Jaleel

Loved yall reactions to S3, cant wait for S4! Keep up the great work guys and hope to see Part 2 of S1 of The Wire on Youtube.

InsurgeTech

Pls pls pls look into Black Summer...its only 2 seasons and its explosive. no filler bs..straight action! And the episodes are 30mins each so yall can do 2 at a time. Pls LIGHTLY look into it to avoid spoilers....It would be a different, but nice mixture with Snowfall.....Snowfall is fire too!

InsurgeTech

Now y’all about to head into my favorite season!

I definitely don't think Stringer read those books in his crib, they were there for show. It reminds me of the speech D gave right before he was killed, where he talked about Gatsby fronting with all of the books that he never once opened to read. I think Stringer's penthouse was a reference back to D's book club interpretation of Gatsby, and people that try to front like they are different from what they used to be. I think it's just very clear on rewatch that Stringer was nowhere near as smart as he tried to pretend to be. He would often learn something in his little community college class, and then go regurgitate it to his crew, which always came off as try hard...like that college freshman that takes philosophy 101 and comes home as if they are an expert on the subject. One of the scenes that sticks out is how comically wrong Stringer was when predicting that the cell phone market was going to die because Poot had too many phones for it to be a growing market. Dude didn't know wtf he was talking about. And what I like about Avon was he had enough sense to know what he didn't know and foresee the trap Stringer would fall in by "playing those away games." Avon was spot on when he said Stringer wasn't smart enough for them out there and that all of those suits were playing him. Then when Levy laughs in Stringer's face, now String wants to get gangsta with it instead of handling it like a business man like he kept chastising Avon about.

Random Random

Avon was grieving heavy in this episode when he was talking about the war being bullshit. This was like the day after he had to have his best friend, someone he considered a brother, for business, so you know he was in his feelings about it since it was fresh. Worse than that, his crew was all hype because they thought Marlo did it so they were ready to go to war for revenge, but Avon knows Marlo had nothing to do with it so it becomes clear in that moment that killing Marlo won't make him feel any better. It won't bring String back, it won't satisfy any desire for revenge. It all feels empty and meaningless and I think it took String being dead over a business decision for it to really sink in what winning this war even means. It's pyrrhic. But as Slim said, it doesn't matter who did what to who after the fact. What's done is done, if it's a lie, you fight on that lie. So Avon was going to continue the war, and tbh was going to win it that night since Slim had the scope on Marlo and was just waiting on the green light, but then the bust happened. Checkmate.

My favorite new character this season was Cutty aka Dennis . I like the idea that a man who used to be in the game and did work in the game, came from prison and realized that it wasn't in him anymore and found a passion for trying to work with the young boys . Kinda like Bubbs, his acting makes you root for him and empathize with his journey .

Ric Rude

McNutty acting like String was family

Stan Ross

2nd Slim Charles is a real one.

BackAgain

Just a heads up y’all thought Avon was a problem you in for a ride with Marlo

Ric Rude

Jae Amanda

Jarick Richardson

Slight audio issue from the middle parts to the end on the video btw. Thought you should know

Fun Fact about the Wire around this time in 2004. The Producers of HBO Came to David Simon (the creator of the show) and told him since they wrapped up the Barksdale storyline with Stringer getting killed and Avon going back to prison that maybe it’s time to end the show and they even canceled the show altogether because of the low ratings. David Simon the creator literally had to beg the producers of HBO to keep the show on the air causing a 2 year hiatus and was able to convince the producers. The show writers then proceeded to defy all odds and was able to write the single greatest season in TV history with season 4

Len Walker

Marlo was that close to being taken out by Slim Charles….

Jihad Lee

The Stringer Penthouse reveal scene is my favorite of all The Wire.
