Ugh, shit is depressing (as expected). That is all. At least NaNa got out of the game (good redemption for Wee-Bey there walking tall like a man)

Its been a few years but I can't recall Namond picking up a street name.

Nah, he didn't. I just gave him one out of a whim.

I've heard a lot about this show over the years and my husband and I finally watched it all over the last month and a half.  For a 20 year-old show, it holds up fairly well.

It really was an excellent show.  It felt authentic especially because the characters tended to be very grey - some good characteristics and some bad.  The characters didn't Necessarily get what they deserved in the end.

On a funny note, we also watch a show called Will Trent which stars Ramon Rodriguez along with Sonja Sohn as his boss. As we were watching The Wire one evening, there was a scene with Omar and his new friend Renaldo.  I said "he looks a lot like Will Trent."  Turned out that it was indeed him!  Many of these actors went on to other things so good for them.
