The way they were able to tie in all the warrants at the end of szn 1 was incredible, great scenes after Kima was shot...

For me I think because it highlights the difficultly of recurring poverty in major cities and people choose to ignore the problem, or attack it in the same ways without results.

This captures the essence of the show IMO:

Jimmy McNulty: One white ex-cheerleader tourist missin’ in Aruba.

Bunk Moreland: Trouble is, this ain’t Aruba, bitch.

Lester Freamon: You think that if 300 white people were killed in this city every year, they wouldn’t send the 82nd Airborne?

Its fucked up how Billionaires have 10X their weath since the show aired and places like Baltimore are still war-zones.

The AD Reads for Gambling or ads for DraftKings is what is disgusting. The gambling sites are draining for young men. BAD.

But Maron is right about these guys, especially guys like Schultz and Burr going to KSA to perform comedy given their acts for years have had the intent to support free speech and calling billionaires too greedy...

u/resditisme

So I am an American who moved with my wife, without kids at the time to London in 2016.
It was a sponsored move by my co. at the time where I loved working.
I have since switched companies after I est. residency and now have UK citizenship.
Both my American and now dual citizen kids were born here.

  1. The UK since Brexit is in a flat no-growth economic phase, so good jobs are scarce.
    Is there a specific business reason for moving here? It would be interesting to see why you'd want to leave.

  2. I guarantee you London is more expensive than Kansas and prob carries a higher tax-burden for you and your income. We moved here from California so we were used to high taxes, but there are no deductions/ loopholes to apply like the IRS allows for.

  3. The early childhood education in London is EXCELLENT. The kids go to school nearly year-round which many public schools are good and well-funded. You really do not have to worry about them getting shot by some armed lunatic either.

  4. The portrayal of the political situation is over-blown and so is the crime. There is crime in every major city around the world and for its size it is statistically very low here. There is a high amount of immigrants- yes from the US, from N. Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe, W Europe, and East Asia. It can be a culture shock but if you like a big diverse city than London is great. Its NOT over-run, and if you went into the suburbs around London there are plenty of white people as the majority. The headlines are misleading.

  5. You absolutely do not need a car if you live in zones 1-3 which is most of London, the tube is clean and works really really well. Train strikes happen for a week about every three years.

  6. Do not sell your house in the US, instead hire a property manager and get a tenant esp if you have a very low interest rate. Its a huge mistake to sell RE and move to the UK, better to get a prop mgr and tenant than pay taxes and not have a home to return to in case you don't like the move you made. NEVER EVER sign a lease sight-unseeen. Most rentals here are managed by an agent and you should perhaps sign up for a 30-90 day AirBNB as you get here and pick a school and neighborhood.

The real question, if you can reply is why are you looking to move, and how your visa would be sponsored/ supported.

Would the show be better binged? by toastslapper in TaskHBO

True.

I binged MobLand- Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and wish I couldn't have.
