NFT: We Own This City (no spoilers)

FrankHuntington : 5/23/2022 11:07 pm
How does everybody like it? I had no idea about BPD being so rotten to the core and really does tap into what The Wire did masterfully in "emulsifying" the police corruption with city leadership. I literally had no clue Baltimore, in addition to its massive heroin issues, had such a problem controlling their cops.

I will say Jon Bernthal overdoes his role a bit (specifically the tough cop persona and the "Balmer" accent) but its a good watch. Plus, a god friend of mine, Joey, plays his boss Mickey Friess.
I watched the first two episodes and will catch up

this week. Yes, it is a good watch. But a long way from The Wire. That show was excellent.
Can you ask your god friend

For at least a couple of home wins, Dallas and Philly, this year?

Much slower burn than The Wire, but a good watch nonetheless. Crazy seeing the young boys from The Wire 20 years later starring in We Own This City" as middle aged men.
Bernthal is the man, one of the truly original

and unique people in hollywood. His podcast is awesome, you can tell how much he gives a shit about other human beings, he's really putting his fame to good use.
it's really good

Well it is docu drama, so they have less license with the characters. Its also a little tiresome of the producer of both shows, David Simon, ripping into Republicans any chance hets, but whatever

Really cool! It took me a good while to recognize Duquan and Marlo looks exactly the same.

Lansman obviously isnt eating babies any more because hes about the size of one of his ass cheeks in this show.

My whole thing is, with all of the problems this city faces between City Hall and the PD, they seem to keep electing the same officials for the same jobs and expect different results.
Where the fuck
