"The Wire" on HBO

I get Bernthal and Thomas Jane confused (not just because the we’re both the Punisher)

Oops typo. I am not in fact the Punisher

there's a dedicated thread for these fascinating revelations :)

i am a fan of Bernthal, Thomas Jane and Walton Goggins ... my first Bernthal experience was as Shane in Walking Dead, kinda dirtbag, kinda hot tbh

could definitely see him hooking up with diner waitresses after getting drunk and crashing his car

I waited til I finished my full series The Wire rewatch until I watched this trailer!
Some real 'Ryan on Line of Duty' feels seeing Marlo there.

And Herc? Donut? Jay? Dukie?
Should be good.

should we start a new thread for the new show - it’s so good

Yeah, different thread makes to me.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea. Great first episode.

ok done & done

Lake Trout & ACAB: David Simon’s “We Own This City” on HBOMax

Rewatching first four seasons, up to 3 now. Still enjoying but man, that scene where they mistake Cheese killing his dog with killing his "dawg" is some lame sitcom shit compared to the rest of the ep

LESTER: We've been listening to him all night. Something about looking for a "free show."

BUNK: Fuuucck, ain't nothing free out there. We're getting set up!

Season 1 had plenty of lame sit-com shit, that scene where they’re trying to get that table through the doorway, the cop trying to figure out how to injure himself so he can get out of work, sub-Office Space level shenanigans.

god, Avon was so bad at running shit. not that Stringer didn't fuck up on his own, but talk about having literally all the wrong priorities.

does it make you feel better about your "stupid annoying co-workers" Neando?

yeah at least mine won't get me killed

Love him in everything he's been in, RIP

Shirtless Daniels reveal is one of the most memorable moments from the HBO Golden Age.

Lance Reddick originally read for the part of Bubbles on the show, which I’m sure he would have nailed, no mean feat since he completely embodied the Lt. Daniels relationship role.

I think he would have been really mediocre to bad as a homeless drug addict character and the correct casting decision was made. It's fair to say he wasn't a rangy actor, but excelled in one particular type of role. Without any disrespect.

Didn't he pay a drug fiend on The Corner?

he did yeah, but I'll keep my bad opinions on David Simon off this thread cos I think everything he touches is unbearable garbage
