In HBO’s The Wire we follow the drug trade of Baltimore, and all the players involved, from cops like Jimmy, Rawls and the Bunk, dealers and kingpins like Avon, Marlo and Proposition Joe, and even lawyers, state senators, mayors and property developers, as all are intrinsically linked in what is often referred to as ‘the game’.
The show is highly realistic and gritty. It’s down to earth and no nonsense, utilizing its subject matters to deliver sociological messages about the drug trade and the cynical and multi-faceted cycle of violence and corruption that allows the trade to flow and prosper.
Today I wanted to talk about one particular series of events in the show, featuring Proposition Joe, Old Face Andre, Slim Charles, Chris Partlow, Snoop & Marlo Stanfield, which may just be the darkest, most disturbing scene in the show.
