THE WIRE


One of my favorite shows on TV right now is HBO's gritty, realistic crime drama called The Wire. There is only 1 episode left to air, but it has been a 5 season roller coaster ride.

Now before I go any further if you don’t want to know how the show ends STOP READING NOW!!!!!




One of my favorite characters is a very complex brother named Omar Little. Played by Michael K. Williams, Omar is a stick-up man, a street thug with a violent streak, but one who also lives by a strict code of conduct. He never robs "civilians," instead only targeting those in the drug trade. He never really uses profanity and he goes to church at least once a month with his grandmother… The kicker here is Omar is also unashamedly gay.


See, it’s twist and turns like that, which have made The Wire….. Straight FIRE!!!

Well, Omar died suddenly and shockingly last week, Snoop meets her end this week. Marlo and the rest of the crew gets arrested. The mayor and police chiefs find out that McNulty has been lying about the homeless murders….. Ohhhh the drama.
Gotta love HBO!!!!!!
