[Nike Jordan]

They releasing Avon

Avon wouldn't be released until 2035.

 

[getback]

Avon wouldn't be released until 2035.

Not if you factor in good time.

He was sentenced to what, 25 years and that was in 2004. I don't think they said if it was running concurrently with the remaining 5 on his original sentence or not. It probably was. So you're looking at about 2029 before good time.

 

[Nike Jordan]

I don't think they said if it was running concurrently with the remaining 5 on his original sentence or not.

I read somewhere that Avon served out the remaining five years plus the 25.

 

[beh235]

Avon wouldn't be released until 2035.

It was a light joke, let it fly. I know in the show he got numbers lol

A 4-6 episode reboot is doable the right way.
Namond, Mike, Dukie, Marlo, Chris, Wee Bay, Avon, Bubbs, Keema, Bunk, Daniels, McNulty and so many are all still alive on the show & real life. Add in some new characters here and there.

Never watched the Wire. But I agree with Bomani that Snowfall will never live down that tiger scene.

 

[beh235]

Seriously, it's not even close. The Wire is detailed, while Snowfall....not so much...

 

[Brownstone]

Wire went from criminally underrated (I remember NOBODY talking about it) when it aired live despite critical acclaim. To honestly a bit overrated (Perfect, flawless etc..) around 10 years ago. Now I think it is rightfully looked at as the best show in my generation (Millenial)

 

[checks mcgee]

who tf asked that question lol

 

[checks mcgee]

I get it.

But more like which is better, Mastro’s or Longhorn?

 

[elpablo21]

Won't lie I thought his hate for Stringer would make him say something crazy

 

[IATT]

 

[Mark Antony]

I'm not arguing with no one with full motion on the TV. Bomani said it right though, a bunch of really good actors working in spite of the material, but the question wasn't individual performances.

 

[waukeganwill]

I promise you I haven’t watch an episode of Snowfall since that damn tiger came on the screen. I was done

 

[spiderjericho]

I went through that thread. I got a proposition. Don’t bring up Snowfall and the Wire in the same breath. The game is the game.

 

[checks mcgee]

I promise you I haven’t watch an episode of Snowfall

 

[Nike Jordan]

15 years ago today, the series finale, "-30-" aired.
