The Wire · S04E01
Stamp a last-watched episode on Passport to unlock Since you left on graph-backed shows.
Season 1 of The Wire is the Barksdale detail: Avon is headed to prison and McNulty is punished to the boat.
Stringer Bell is still alive and free, the street brain of the organization Avon can no longer walk.
Season 2 is the port: the Sobotka union is broken. Avon is still inside. Stringer still runs the free-world Barksdale shop.
The Wire's third season is about reform experiments and their failure modes: free zones, chain of command, and the cost of 'clean' corners on paper.
Stringer's attempt to corporatize the drug trade collides with Avon and street rules. Omar and Mouzone close a ledger.
