    What does The Wire sound like in Portuguese? Did the translators try to put a Baltimore accent on top of the Brazilian one?
    Can you upload a few clips for us?

    Delonda was fine. It's weird that she didn't land too many big roles after The Wire, she's a good actress.
    I tried rewatching The Wire in HD, but I didn't like it. I prefer the gritty look of the SD version. It's like listening to music on vinyl; there's a certain charm that HD loses, IMO.

    So in essence the system will stop extorting poor people who don't have the money for bail and the cops get less of a workload....? Either street justice will take over or total anarchy.....picture "Escape from L.A." the Kurt Russell version.....

    North Philadelphia area called Kensington, specifically a corner called Kensington and Somerset avenues already have the largest open air drug market on the east coast.

    White addicts actually take bus rides for the weekend from other states to go there. It's famous on the east coast. Very, very minimal police interference because its so huge.

    LA is not the only place.
