The Wire (2002)
A great episode with some great moments. We got more of Marlo's screen time here to show us his cold, cruel and hateful demeanor. He doesn't just apply these traits in business, but also in his daily life. Every plot that highlights the school arc was heartbreaking to see how these kids have to grow up like this. Just look at the behavior of these children while at school whose work is only hanging around, disrespecting teachers, mocking friends, and even more shocking is that this school allows children to skip school by only needing to attend once a month for the first two months of the years in order to continue to receive funding. So it's only natural that many of these children still looks uneducated and unmoral. And best moment of this episode was when the two cold, cruel, and equally ruthless characters met at the end of the episode. Omar robs Marlo was definitely one of the coolest and one of my favorite scenes in the show. It will be interesting to see what will happen in the aftermath of this issue as Marlo will surely sue back.
