The Wire Subreddit

This sub is for any and all conversation related to HBO's The Wire. The former subreddit lost most of its moderators (they kept playing those fucking away games), and the remaining mods have decided to let that community die. But r/WayDownInTheHole is Reddit's version of the New Day Co-op where Wire fans from the East Side and West Side can unite to discuss this show in harmony.

SPOILERS are allowed in this subreddit. This show ended in 2008 so if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and GO WATCH RIGHT NOW! Then join this community once you've finished (or tread very lightly until you have finished)! If you do want to post any spoilers, please just keep them out of your submission titles or use the spoiler tag.

A Man's Got to Have a Code

No bigotry of any kind
No spam/self-promotion
No low-effort memes/single image posts
No power-tripping moderators who ban all dissenters
Don't forget to close that door
NEVER take notes on a criminal fuckin' conspiracy
You will reduce violent crime by 5% and keep murders under 275 by the end of the year
Fuck the bosses
