This is still on my tbr but comes highly recommended from my friend @FreeReadAndWrite My favorite character from the show is Omar ❤, masterfully played by Michael K. Williams. I'm hoping to read it this year and then rewatch the whole series.
(Loose interpretation of #omarsharif, I know, but the best I could do!)
Thanks for a super fun photo challenge @Cinfhen and @vivastory 😁

vivastory Omar was one of my favorite characters. Michael K Williams also plays one of my favorite characters in Boardwalk Empire. I've been meaning to read this one. It's a good idea to do a rewatch afterwards. Thanks for posting, Rachel! 6y
readordierachel @vivastory Thanks for hosting! I've been wanting to watch Boardwalk Empire, cuz I heard Michael Shannon is in it. 6y
readordierachel @vivastory Now I doubly want to watch it for Michael K. Williams! 6y

batsy Michael K Williams was brilliant in the show 🙌🏽 6y
vivastory @readordierachel Michael Shannon has a great role in it. 6y
vivastory @batsy I think Omar's death was definitely one of the more jaw dropping moments of the show 6y
FreeReadAndWrite Yay! Thanks for the shout out. Anyone planning a rewatch of The Wire, read this book first! I‘m rewatching now & this book gave me an entirely new appreciation. I didn‘t think that show could get any better BUT THEN IT DID 🙌 6y
readordierachel @FreeReadAndWrite 😊😊 6y
readordierachel @vivastory @batsy Yeah, I did not see that coming! He really was an unforgettable character. 6y
vivastory @readordierachel @batsy @FreeReadAndWrite One of the most disturbing aspects of the show is how realistic it is. I've heard a lot of lawyers & people in law enforcement say it's the most realistic tv series about drugs. 6y
FreeReadAndWrite @vivastory yeah, I agree. I used to work in community programming with gang members and cops in neighborhoods and I think it‘s realistic on both sides. I also think David Simon is kind of a pretentious ass but I‘m pretty impressed with the lengths of ethnographic study he did to write Homicide & The Corner before doing The Wire. 6y
batsy @readordierachel @vivastory Yes, jaw dropping is the perfect description for how it was! 6y
BarbaraBB I didn‘t know there was a book. Loved the series. And Stringer Bell 😍 6y
