One of the most iconic scenes for me doesn’t really strike home until you see it a second time. In the beginning of season four, there’s a scene w/ all four of the main young boys walking through the halls at school…laughing and joking with each other. Heartbreaking scene the second time around.

WILL PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOILING THIS DAMN SHOW! Doesn’t “no spoilers” in the title mean anything???

Anyway, I just realised I’ve seen Idris Elba in something else. He was in a UK show called Ultraviolet about 10 years ago which I saw, and thinking back on it yes that definitely was him (didn’t realise what a sexy mofo he was until the Wire though…)
