We Own This City (HBO Max) • Page 2

That ending of The commissioner that wanted to end plainclothes cops gets fired and replaced by the mayor a supposed "anti-corruption hardliner" that immediately reverses that policy, later both the new commissioner and the mayor go to prison is bleak as hell.

 

Totally forgot this was on last night. I started Stranger Things because I didn't think I had anything else to watch.

What a noob.

 

Same. Logged into HBO Max for that new Potter movie, even though i don't really like Potter stuff that much just because there wasn't anything else and then i remember the finale was up.

 

Need more Simon stuff ASAP. Give me that Lincoln Battalion/Spanish Civil War limited series he's had in the pipeline by 2024 at the latest please.

 

This was phenomenal.

 

yeah, six episodes was not enough

 

Really wish this was longer than six episodes, but great show. Entire cast was wonderful.

 

Just finished. Exceptional television

 

Everyone should watch the doc, The Slow Hustle about the true story this was based on.

 

Will do! Is it on HBO?

 

Yup! It's also directed by Sonja Sohn who played Kima on The Wire

 

Post sighting. He was always underrated.

 

Not gonna lie, the time-jumps in this are really hard to follow but, ignoring that, overall this is phenomenal and feels like a true follow-up to The Wire, quality-wise. Have two episodes left and it just keeps improving on itself. The Freddie Gray protest scenes are intense.

 

This was excellent. Def gonna check out that doc mentioned above.

 

Finished this tonight. Wow, truly excellent stuff. Makes me want to rewatch The Wire lol.

 

The last fifteen minutes really captured what was so devastating about The Wire. There are no happy endings, just a reshuffling of names.

 

Just finished the first episode. really excited to see where this goes.

 

Was wondering why this didn't get an Emmy nom, but limited series objectively worse than this did but then I remembered that the Television Academy hates David Simon.

 

It's phenomenal.

 

I have some time off work so I've been catching up on shows I missed. Finished this today and thought it was really good overall. A little ham-fisted in places, but Bernthal is excellent and the ending is appropriately bleak.

 

I need to finally watch this. My ex and I stared it when it aired and she wasn’t into it.

 

I’d agree with it being ham-fisted at times. That’s sorta The Wire too. But its heart is in the right place.

 

Recently finished The Corner and it was fantastic, just read All the Pieces Matter and it was great, now onto this and hooked from the first episode.

 

Need to catch The Corner

 

still never watched this, I don't know what's wrong with me
