capt_oats Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Already mentioned in The Wire thread but all episodes went up on Sky Atlantic last night so am diving in to this later. David Simon, Jon Bernthal and a ton of familiar faces from The Wire - am absolutely here for this. The Watch podcast had George Pelecanos on the other day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Watched the first episode and thought it was decent. Bernthal's accent threw me a bit at first but I guess that maybe is what a Baltimore accent sounds like?

Albus Bulbasaur Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Is this only going to be on SKY? I've got a basic ass package, I'm presuming it's Nowtv for this sort of stuff? Looks class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I've read the book and the book was absolutely fantastic, looking forward to watching the TV show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squalor Vic Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Absolutely loved it. It'll suffer from wire comparisons probably but i thought it was excellent. Could definitely watch it as almost a 6th season. Great fun playing spot the wire actor too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I've got one episode left. It's been pretty fucking good tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Got one episode to go. How can Marlo look younger 15 years later? Got to give it to boy who plays Collichio/Jenkins. He really does have a face only a mother could love. It’s not close to wire levels for me with all the jumping back and forth but still good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Also did not see the IRA quote coming during the 2nd episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabGaz Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Just on episode 3 and Marlo (Suiter) is speaking to a young cop in uniform about a gun shot call. The cop is only Duquan Weems! Sheeeeeettt! Edit - i’ll have to stop looking for the minor ex-Wire characters! Marla Daniels & Donut also spotted.

J_Stewart Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) We watched it over the weekend, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but only criticism being that it probably could have done with another episode or two to flesh things out further. Was constantly mentioned how Jenkins was this visionary cop that knew the streets and how to speak to people to find leads, and then, almost no examples of it. In fact most of the time, the leads seemed to be coming from Jemell and his women. Just made me think that instead of being this brilliant operator that we were told about, Jenkins was really more of a sociopathic alpha male. Didn't make him any less interesting, but just a bit odd. Would have liked to have seen a bit more of the county police and how they helped develop the cases too. Minor quibbles though, the acting throughout was excellent. Edited July 4, 2022 by J_Stewart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I really enjoyed this. The delusions of Jenkins in that he was doing nothing wrong and his boys would back him up slowly unravelling was very buyable. All of the actors were good though as said. It was a bit jumpy on the timeliness but I really enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
