Combo posted:So...I'm on my first watch through of The Wire, and I just finished up season 2. People had been telling me for years that the show was fantastic but I'd just never gotten around to watching it. Holy hell are the first two seasons great. Have you tried Alan Sepwinwall's breakdowns on hitfix.com? I like them, and they come in both first-timer and rewatch versions.

Dmitri-9 posted:One thing bothered me about the Sobotka storyline. After they realize Frank is dead the FBI agent apologized to McNulty saying he thought Agent Koutris worked on customs cases but had been transfered to anti-terrorism implying that the FBI would protect the Greek because he could give good intel. Surely the mole would get in trouble for conspiring to kill a state's witness and the Greek was just as bad as a terrorist because his organization had already racked up two dozen bodies, imported tons of heroin, corrupted a port etc. The FBI might tolerate a criminal act to catch a bigger fish but there are limits, seemed kind of unrealistic in a show that was almost journalistic in tone. Bear in mind the timing. This came out in 2003. The FBI is after specific terrorists, i.e. al Quaeda, because everyone's worried there could be another 9/11. Also, Dominic West is doing ok for himself compared to most of the black guys from the show. He's on The Affair and also random British TV stuff.

exmachina posted:Yeah he shoots the SS soldiers on D-day, including the American, though tbf what were they going to do with prisoners as parachute infantry on D-day? Shooting SS prisoners (specifically) or refusing their surrender wasn't exactly uncommon in WW2 in any case iirc
