Definitely. I'm going to rewarch it all again. Find a little bit of something new and clever everytime I do.

Really shit news. I liked his work on Boardwalk Empire even more than the Wire I think.

RiP Omar.

I watched The Wire for the first time last year (pretty much the last remaining human to do so)...Omars death knocked me real hard. One of the best characters in modern TV, and was a huge achievement to nail a fairly untypical character, so believeably.

Shit

Shit

 

[Plumdaff]

Absolutely awful. He was a great actor, and his portrayal of Omar was one of many powerful performances. What a shame. RIP.

 

[May Kasahara]

Omar goin' What shit news, he was such a fantastic, charismatic actor.

Omar goin' What shit Jews, he was such a fantastic, charismatic actor.

It's a tragedy but don't think it's down to any particular group of people

Sorry, apparently my phone is now an anti-semite as well as a pain in the arse.

Sad news indeed, I've had this screen print on my wall since the Wire days.

Only seen The Wire on shite quality DVD a few years ago - anywhere legal where we can watch in HD?

 

[Elpenor]

It’s on NowTV entertainment pack which can be had for £10/ month - no contract. It certainly was last year when I rewatched it.

David Simon has now had time to produce a longer reflection on Michael Williams. It's a great piece.

Opinion | The Question Michael K. Williams Asked Me Before Every Season of ‘The Wire’ (Published 2021)

As Omar Little, the actor bent his beautiful mind to a task that even the best writers and showrunners often avoid.

Saw this pic used as a reaction gif on Twitter and immediately recognised Wee Bey in the scene where Stringer Bell tells him Kima Greggs is an undercover cop

On my second watch through. We must have watched it 7 years ago now. I had no intention to leave it so long, and it's even better than I remember.

Let us know your now favourite season just as soon as you reach season two

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Must remember to watch it.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Where is it playing? I only watched season 1. I started watching season 2 but the box set I borrowed had a disc missing (three eps) and I didn't want to skip it. . . .
I would have forgotten it all by now anyway.
