I have a suspicion if I go back and re-watch both the Wire and Boardwalk Empire, Omar's story arc would be pretty similar to Nucky's, when you consider what (despite what they felt were the best intentions) they did to the communities they live in, the people around them, and the respective chickens coming home to roost.

ENJOY Metrofanatic!

Omar Little - one of the best characters ever written for TV.

 

The depth given to the main characters by the writers of the Wire was something not often found on TV these days.

Wendell Pierce NAILED that scene.

If you liked The Wire, Top Boy is a shorter, English, not as good version, but still worth a watch. 

 

Other characters from The Wire I liked: Slim Charles, Bunk, Proposition Joe, and of course Clay "Sheeeeeeeeeit" Davis.


"Obviously, I want to make a living (in soccer), to say the least," he said. "There's so much you can accomplish in the soccer world, and right now I'm focused on having a good season with the Red Bulls. Ultimately, our goal is to win the MLS Cup, and I see no reason why we can't." - #4 Tyler Adams
