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.

No, I'm seriously just asking. I'm not even American. I wouldn't know what a Baltimore accent sounds like or what kind of accents do those actors have in real life.
That is a pretty old pasta.
Thanks for the memories OP.

Both of them did a bad job. Neither sounded like they were from Baltimore. West in particular was really bad as his real accent popped in all the time.
Source, me. Lived in Baltimore for 5 years.

did you know, also, that the actor who played bubbles was such a convincing heroin addict while filming that somebody ACTUALLY gave him free heroin, citing his disheveled look as indicating he needed one!
crazy stuff!
