Adulthood is realizing that pic related was 10 times the leader...

He knew Marlo would fuck over the east side (Avon's longest rivals) if he got ahold of the Greeks' drug connection. The whole west side familiarity was just an innocent pantomime.

sorry but all characters except tony and paul exists in sopranos - bringing it down to 7/10

>Offered an opportunity to go legit, refuses despite knowing all the heat on him

That offer was a scam and he could smell it a mile away. Yet another reason that Avon > Stringer

I thought the newspaper element of Season 5 was actually pretty well done. The rest of it was shit.

The main thing that the Wire has over the Sopranos is that in the Wire, all actions have consequences. In the Sopranos, Tony's crew commits extremely brazen and sloppy crimes in broad daylight, leaving bodies, fingerprints and guns on the scene and nothing is ever mentioned about it again. Shit is retarded.

When Paulie and Chris smoked that waiter their whole explanation as to why they don't get caught is "no one knows us in Atlantic City", but the fact is they left a non mob affiliated citizen with a bullet in their head in the parking lot of a well known mob hangout, and somehow that brings absolutely zero heat onto the Atlantic City mob? who would then probably retaliate because they are sick of Soprano's psychos leaving a trail of dead civilians everywhere they go?

>le magical negro may may

The newspaper story was ruined by having the flawless self-insert for the writer character. The dynamics of the newspaper office in general were pretty good but that guy was ridiculous.

season 5 is still good you dumb idiot person

Shut up fuck head. The Wire is no where near the Sopranos. Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa Just started a Sopranos podcast that’s pulling in 200k viewers. Who’s talking about the Wire ever anymore besides dick breaths like you?

>I thought the newspaper element of Season 5 was actually pretty well done.
it was a soft disclosure about media being completely fake news.

Tony was a psychopath. He is a complete scumbag. This is not news.
