    Most of the ‘bad guy’ deaths hit pretty hard in that show. Yeah they were all criminals, but still brutal.

      For real. I can’t pretend to know what any of that life is like, but it’s unceremonious to say the least.

        Dude that plays Bubbles (2nd best character after Omar) has a story where he was in the middle of shooting and was in character, a proper junkie came up to him and handed him some vials and said ‘you need this more than I do’.

        The show is, apparently, very very realistic and portrays those snippets of street life very accurately.

        It helps where a good chunk of the cast are ex criminals and cops.

            He might be in S4, but the dude that plays the Deacon (helps Cutty) was actually the inspiration for Omar.

            A few of the cops are actual ex cops. Some of Avon’s and Barksdale crews are ex gangsters.

            Few local actors from Baltimore with colourful pasts as well.
