Why The Wire Season 5 is bad?

Season five had the weakest background subculture, Journalism. Unlike the Docks in season 2 and the kids in season 4, the Journalists were too far removed from the stakes of the streets, so their stories felt far less consequential than other characters.

Did the wire use real drug dealers?

Charismatic drug moguls such as Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell were based in part on real people, including “Little Melvin” Williams (more on him later). Omar Little, the charismatic stickup man/anti-hero supreme, likewise drew from several actual Baltimoreans.

Why did Marlo kill that girl?

Why did Marlo kill Joe? He was getting the dope right off the boat from the Greeks and with all the west side real estate Marlo had Prop Joe knew he could sell him multiple kilos every resupply. Prop Joe also needed muscle to help run the NY dealers out of the east side.

How much did Omar steal from Prop Joe?

Omar sells the shipment back to Joe for 20 on the dollar, and Joe says “that’s 400k”. Sure, Omar has to pay all the people who participated in the robbery (and Butchie), so he didn’t make exactly 400k from that job alone.

Who kills cheese on the wire?

Cheese, who presumably had already kicked in his part of the $9.1 million, nonchalantly decides to cover the remaining 900, saying that “we’ll all be more than paid once we get the connect.” Then someone whines about how much better things were under Joe and that sets Cheese off, after which Slim kills Cheese.

Why did Avon help Marlo?

I think Avon knew that Marlo wouldn’t last on the street. He didn’t have the experience, the support. I think Avon wanted to use Marlo as a tool to take out Prop Joe, knowing that Marlo himself wouldn’t be around long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labour.

What happened to Omar Little’s face?
