So I just got done watching the first episode of The Wire and I was blown away! There is a scene where D'angelo is explaining chess to the other kids and teaching them about all the pieces. I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but when he was telling them about pawns, he actually meant THEY were the pawns! What an amazing allegory!

I've never seen such brilliant writing and I can easily say just by having watched the first episode that this is the best show ever made!

Also the acting is phenomenal! Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.

Any shows you would recommend?

I've never understood why this copypasta takes a shot at Idris Elba, he does a very impressive accent

>>82011520
You cant possibly be serious.
>>
>>82010914
better than anything in Mad Men.
>>
>>82011522
It's the second time I've seen it. So I wasn't sure. Should have known with the "first episode". Either way whats the point?
>>
>>82011642
What's wrong with it? This dialect coach says its great https://youtu.be/NvDvESEXcgE?t=7m53s
>>
>>82011784
I thought it was believable too. Just something not quite right.
>>
>>82011784
I dont give a fuck what that faggot says. Im FROM Baltimore, Ive spent more time around Baltimore niggers than anyone should ever have to, and I can tell you he sucked and sounded completely retarded.

The only time he had a worse accent was in Prometheus. I was more offended by his pointless idiotic accent in that movie than I was with the shoehorned and unnecessary BLACKED scene with him and Theron.

No entertainment where the actors are supposed to have American accents should be played by British people. TWD and SoA suffered from this immensely.
>>
>>82011520
I thought he was american initially, but then again I didnt realise Snoop was a girl until a few episodes in.
>>
>>82011899
well I'm convinced
>>
The wire sucks ass, and the first episode is one of the most boring episodes in a show full of boring episodes
>>
>>82011784
Uhhh. Yea. That guy actually said he DOESNT get the accent correct.
>>
>>82011983
It's not for everyone. Took me like three tries to get through the first few episodes. Still better than most all the shit out there.
>>
>>82011983
It get's good about 4 seasons in.
>>
>>82012049
he literally opened by calling it amazing
>>
>>82011960

currently watching the show. Did not know snoop was a girl.
>>
>>82012091
And then he literally said right after that that he didnt get it right.

So either you are a colossal faggot, the language guy is a colossal idiot, or both of you are colossal idiot faggots.
>>
>>82012168
he points out one fault after calling it amazing. Only an autist expects everything to be fucking perfect
>>
>>82012287
That one fault being the entire embodiment of a Baltimore accent which is how the "O" and "U" sounds are made in words like "window" and "threw". Which Elba got wrong.

And he said "This is amazing" and then went on to describe how Elba practiced the accent for years, he didnt call his final product amazing.

You are both fucking clueless morons.
>>
>>82011824
I thought it was fine until I learned he's british, and then it sounded off.
>>
>>82012287
Pretty sure he's just pretending to be retarded senpai
>>
Dude it's like so realistic dude and it's nihilistic like real life yeah man nothing matters anyway. 10/10 best tv show ever
