It’s very good. I seen it when it aired. Watched it about 7 times since. Yet I think it’s overrated. But I’m asking what you niggers think.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Is the wire overrated?

Yeah I think a bit. The dockworker shit was mostly boring and I didn’t find the kid or his dopey cousin to be very deep or believable characters. Plus not one of them had a baltimore accent. And the newspaper storyline in the last season sucked.
And Cutty, fuck him. Fucking useless character that they devoted way too much time to and his story went fucking nowhere.

The show is not really realistic in terms of police procedures. They make all of their cases by Bubbles magically witnessing every single thing that they need. Bubbles buys his heroin from the exact same crew that Kima his police contact is working by sheer coincidence. The day his friend Johnny gets beaten up by Bodie is the day that Kima is assigned to watch Bodie by pure coincidence. Bubbles points out the names of the entire Barksdale drug crew and despite being a street drug addict is like Rain Man when identifying drug suspects and knows literally every single aspect of the drug game. Bubbles puts the hat on Bird to help the police make the arrest. Bubbles just magically happens to witness Omar rob the stash in the pit gives Omar's contact information to Kima. Without Bubbles magically being there for every single event the season falls apart.
Season two Bubbles finds Omar for McNulty and Bunk. And even that is by pure chance where Omar's women hear Bubbles asking around for Omar. Bubbles also witnesses Barksdale and Proposition Joe's crews fighting and informs Kima of that which was a pure coincidence that he witnessed that. There is literally no reason for him to be there at the towers, other than the writing being poor. Bubbles only buys heroin from areas where something highly relevant to the plot is about to happen just so he can witness it and bring it to police. In the first season he buys in the pit right as things are blowing up there. In season two he buys from the towers right as things are breaking down there out of sheer coincidence.
Season three Bubbles just HAPPENS again to magically run into Marlo at the start of the season. When the police need to monitor the burner phones what do they do? They magically show the pictures of the couple buying the phones and Bubbles sells them the phones that are already wiretapped.
Season four Bubbles just happens yet again to be in the same school as Prez.
Yet in season five....a season about homeless killings.....Kim and McNulty despite working the homeless killer case (one of the dumbest storylines ever in a major drama) literally not once touch base with Bubbles to help them understand things. Yet some moron reporter figures out that Bubbles knows the street pretty well.
The real Bubbles was named 'Possum' and was a police snitch who died of AIDS.
Bubbles calling Herc and telling him that he saw Marlo's drug courier taking a re-up of heroin. But actually it was just a random preacher. And Herc beating the preacher and tossing his possessions in the street is funny every single time. How Bubbles got revenge on Herc by costing him his job.

I never understood the hate for the final season tbqhwy. I kind of bought the whole McNulty self destruction thing. The show did a good job closing out Marlo's character imo.
What do I know. I got my coffee, I'm happy to live another day, let the muckity muck jews debate media.
I fucking hate Jamie hector which made me hate Marlo. Idk if he was written super unrealistic or this retard can’t act.
I saw everyone glowing about it on here so I decided to watch it. Told my gal "This show is supposed to be great, let's watch it."
We lasted about 20 minutes. It was just ooga booga nigger shit. Maybe I'm wrong I don't know - didn't watch far enough I guess. But it was niggery. Does it ever get less niggery?

You mean you didn’t think Method Man was as good as Johnny Sac?
I like it but it is overrated imo. None of the cops were particularly interesting characters to me. The chick who plays Kima is just awful. Every time she is on screen with her ugly dyke gf I fast forward. The black skeletor looking guy was a total bore. The redhead chick is ugly and terrible as well. I couldn’t stand how various men lusted over her and she is a thin-haired dud. I also hated Jamie Hector as some other have said.
I thought the arcs of Stringer, Avon, Proposition Joe, and Bodie were all well done.

The Sopranos did the whole self destruction thing with Tony in the last seasons. He starts gambling and drinking and using drugs. Blows up his marriage and family including driving his son to suicide. Destroys his own mafia family with endless poor decisions. And in the end has zero allies except for Patsy who is bitter of his twin being murdered by Tony's orders. The Shield did it just as well with the two main characters ending one with murder suicide of his entire family and the other being abandoned by all friends and family and being alone as a rat and hated by the entire law enforcement world.
McNulty doesn't even self destruct. He becomes like a walking cloud of toxic gas that turns everyone around him into retards. His entire fake serial killer thing is known by Bunk, Freemon, and Sydnor and they go along with it. And him using serial killer funds to work other cases is known by the entire department and they all go along with it. By the end of the show the mayor, who becomes governor, even knows about it and goes along with it. And this is from a show where in seasons one through four every single thing leaks to the press. From witnesses being killed, to Hamsterdam, to grand jury testimony.
If they made McNulty drink himself into being fired it would have been fine. Or have him run an illegal wiretap into Marlo that was fine. But the serial killer angle was ridiculous. And how they did it was beyond sloppy.
I thought season 2 was unfairly lambasted. I liked how Sobotka had to constantly revise his values to "help" the stevedores, growing resentful towards his retard nephew and son, bullying his lobbyist friend into action and being ultimately powerless against the city who wanted to build houses for rich people instead of helping the docks. Felt relevant.
However, the ending arc for some characters, like Sydnor being the new Mcnulty and Michael the new Omar was stupid.
Plus season 4 is grossly overrated.

It's dated like no other show in TV history, not that people ever talked like they do on The Wire but it's from an era when TV shows could do that and not seem ridiculous. It's weird because it rewards multiple viewings in all the tiny plot points you missed the 1st 4 times you watched but every time you think more and more like "this is just not how people talk no one another." The first time around you could forgive the whole Natchral Poeleese shit because it was a unique show but rewatching it today it feels like the hackiest shit ever. It'd be hard to watch for the 1st time now and think as positively as when it was on TV
It was good but Hamsterdam was ludicrous
He’s a terrible actor. He’s god awful in Bosch, I keep waiting for them to kill him off but apparently they’re making a spin off for his character. Fuck that.
Is the shield worth watching?
He’s fucking cartoonishly evil. No personality or charisma. The ‘my name is my name’ speech stunk. In a show that’s supposed to be real, they made up a character that’s basically “Evil Nigger” like a MCU villain.
The Shield is amazing. I count it as one of the best shows ever made. Probably has the best ending of any show too.
If it’s got your stamp I’ll check it out
