Very good take

on the surface maybe. But a bit deeper, nah. Stringer was not a smart dude and had poor awareness of his situation. He tried to bribe a scammer to buy his way into high society (which Avon saw through immediately). He betrayed the strongest parts of his own organization in this pursuit and turning the street into a legit business. His focus on these things and Omar, even breaking a long-standing truce, helped lose the war with Marlow. Stringer was also a well-known drug kingpin to police and everyone else. That was never going to easily wash off.

Marlow was clever with good awareness. He learned every level of the business that mattered and understood the need for violence at the street level. But the most important thing, after we bounce from this poo poo right here, Marlo wants everyone to know that word did not get back to him.

Or Meghan Markle's lawyer dad in Suits, yeah.

I quite enjoy seeing Clarke Peters showing up in the UK's laziest, gentlest Saturday-afternoon detective shows, though (Poirot, Midsomer Murders). Man's earned the right to some easy paycheques with a short commute.

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
I think he did a two episode cameo in 'Casualty' just because he wanted to do it, I imagine in the same way Ian McKellen did a turn in 'Coronation Street' just because he wanted to do it

Clarke Peters is in an episode or two the Deuce as a retired pimp, which is totally fitting.

JD Williams is the cast member that I can't believe didn't have a bigger career. I mean, he's had steady work for years, which is more than most actors can dream of, but that dude should have been a star.

Harrowing is right. I got to the 2nd or 3rd episode and it was so depressing I stopped. Very well done, but drat.

Anyways I'm pretty sure Trombly was the guy who tried to kill Trump out of boredom while Iceman runs the libertarian of NH account
