How to Roast a City
I heard Jimmy McNulty makes an appearance as the US President.
More woke trash huh. Ok
HOW CAN YOU GUYS START US WITH ONLY 1 EPISODE?!?! 🥺 Talk about cruel & unusual punishment 🤨 That ep. 1 has already set the tone and this is going to be Great. I can not watch it week to week though. I’m going to have to do My best to skip a few weeks so I can watch @ least a couple in a row. This is the type id like to watch 4 in a row and then a couple the next night after work. Good job HBO on another 1. Other than making Us wait like it’s the old days, all the way back in 2011 when We had to wait for our shows week to week. C’Mon Mahn When it’s this Good , I want it NOW .
@@CSDonohue11 that’s cause they ain’t policing…lol
If Jon Bernthal is in it I’ll watch it
I agree 100% awesome actor!!
That should be the teaser trailer for this. Just a shot of Jon Bernthal, cut to credits.
Facts
Agreed 100% also love him as the punisher
Bernthal is a savage. He plays the anti-hero and villain roles to perfection.
I love seeing so many old faces from The Wire in here. Even if the story lines don't play off of each other directly you can see plenty of references and nods to it's predecessor and I love.
That iconic baton toss.
The setting and the cast is enough.
Check out The Corner. Came out before The Wire. Based on a true story but tons of actors from the wire and feels like part of the same universe.
@@Slavicinferno Oh I'm hip. DeAndre McCullough was actually Brother Mouzone's right hand man in The Wire. Him and his father were the one's the show was based on. Great show.
Marlo as a cop is intriguing to me.
Jon Bernthal plays the most grittiest toughest hard core characters in movies but he's like the most down to earth sweetest guy in real life gotta love it.
I met him several years ago and he was legitimately the nicest guy.
He almost killed a guy.
His character in Fury was brutal, he played that so well.
@@carstereobandits yeah he was great in it. I love that movie.
You don't know him
Whatever Jon Berthnal is in, I'm watching, he's such a joy to watch.
My thoughts exactly. I saw that deranged, vacant Jon Bernthal face pop up in my feed and I'm like whatever this is it's gonna be good. He don't play. Also, my ability to recognize Baltimore in a split second scares me sometimes; I'm familiar with this (true) story of police corruption to the highest to degree and it is WILD!
Fact
@@una4all1 yes, he looks so menacing! Cannot wait to watch.
Watch me and earl and the dying girl hes brilliant in that
Stealing comments I see 👮♀️ 👮♂️
HBO, David Simon, and Baltimore is always a win
I can't wait to share this with my friend from Maryland.
lesson here Bey....You come at the punisher, you best not miss!!!!
yes!!!
The Wire:Retribution
@@raoulhery (He's playing a corrupt, abusive cop, buddy.)
🤣 0:39 they got Marlo Standfield playing a cop in Baltimore now lol. Herc is back at it too. Love to see a little bit of a homage to The Wire
And Landsman seems to have replaced Rawls.
The young black cop who talks about being put in with the bad cops also from The Wire. There are about a dozen cast members from The Wire in this. And Ed Burns.
His been playing a cop in Boshe for like 6 seasons mate. His more of a cop then a gangster lol watch Bosh, i highly recommend it!
@@robbieparis07 he played o dog
@@robbieparis07 I think he’s the one that got locked up w his girl and said “Man I can’t WAIT to go to jail!”
“Accountability as a four letter word”, David Simon’s writing never disappoints! Also so many background shots are taken directly from the Wire. I’m so watching this
“Accountability as a four letter word” - what does this mean?
@@deepaklobo1992 the «C » word!! The bad one!
@@deepaklobo1992 Acco? I´m lost too...
@@Kwijiboz the “count”
@@deepaklobo1992 it's an expression that means it's like a taboo word
I've been saying for years that John is going to win an Oscar. he is perfect in every film even in small roles. Pure talent. and if he's there, I watch him.
Or an Emmy.
Meh
Watch the bear. He was great in that and he was bearly in it
@@JB-wy8fc Agree. This guy is a pure talent
@@cittadinonumero33 also me and earl and the dying girl
"no doubt, no doubt" ... Omar Little would be smiling hearing that phrase
Hah he’d be Mayor in this one!
David Simon is attached to it...I'm in. Always makes great shows.
except for his last one.
@@kel8787 missed his last one what was that?
@@Rheinmeister09 The Plot Against America
@@kel8787 I Love Simon and that show was truly disappointed
Everything he ever made was a masterpiece, until this show and The Plot Against America
Jon Bernthal and Jamie Hector, two underrated actors. I'll watch them any day.
Agree!
Jon B. is overrated. He's actually trash.
Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle in The Punisher is pure gold
@@s.l.3673 not sure if that's some kinda reference but it was Bernthal in the Punisher
@@gaborfabian3967 Oh oh, I realize what the discrepancy might be. I was referring to The Punisher, the 2004 movie. And you guys must be referring to The Punisher, the tv series. We are both correct then. :)
David Simone back in Baltimore, so many familiar faces and now with Jon Bernthal, I'm jumping in.
Shows like this is why HBO will always be superior to all the streaming giants.
FACTS!!!!!!
Yup, it’s not even close.
No
and yet their UI is mediocre at best.
@@ossihurme7572 gotta agree with you on this chief, its like the app was made by the interns and they just stuck with it until now
Herc putting on them headphones to listen in on a call gave me chills! I’m so pumped for this!
You got my camera?
The Wire, let me just say is the best show ever.
absolutely.
It truly is. They got Landsman and Marlo in this one lol
Herc too !
I TOTALLY agree. Man I’ve rewatched that series so many times.
@@rbu2136 I don't know why they compare it with anything else
This is the crossover i always wanted. The Wire meets the Shield.
I'd love some prison story as well. It's a great environment for social commentary, and fascinating as well.
Spot on, man
It would be a match made in heaven without the BLM and DEFUND YHE POLICE propaganda. Everytime the FBI , the civil rights people et all appeal on the screen, my stomach just hurts
I love Jon Bernthal soooo much! I'd watch anything with him in it ❤🔥
Great cast and Jon Bernthal carries a lot of investment for me
I hope they bring Jon back as the Punisher, ever since that I love him in everything he does
agree
Oh I can't wait for this! HBO rarely ever misses.
And David Simon never misses
They best not, if they aim at the king.
And when they do, we got Season 8 GOT.
Another great show on HBO that unfortunately came and went without much publicity is Tokyo Vice. Just one season and I have no idea if they plan on doing another, but it was fantastic.
This trailer should definitely have more views, this show looks like it will be amazing
2M viewers
Oh trust me, I’m in it so it’ll definitely be amazing😎
Gonna be sooooo political. Skip.
Is the show good? Haven’t watched it
@@Immortalkalashnikov I mean, it’s based on a true story so the politics are a reality
I don't think I've ever been this excited for a show to premiere.
Seriously. Looks very good, but I'm a David Simon (and Company) disciple so may be biased.
After 1st ep - it pretty much The Wire season 6... and that's all I ever wanted
Yes sir. It's gonna be a return to familiar streets...
Really? The dialogue, especially the slang and accents, is very familiar, but the pacing is very different and more stylized with the time jumps. The editing and lighting also strikes me as more cinematic compared to the gritty realism of the wire. Just my 2 cents
This show is nothing like The Wire. Everything about seems forced. The Wire had a smooth natural flow that captured the streets. This show lacks all of the charm and character of The Wire.
How did you like True Detective season 1?? Or have you seen The Killing?
@@courtlam79 based on a true story. so, stranger than fiction, as they say.
What a show. My mum and I binged watched this and it was incredible and then to also remember it happened in REAL LIFE! Crazy
Finally a true follow up to The Wire. Absolutely spectacular and jaw-dropping, especially considering that this is a true story. Jon, Wunmi and Dagmara absolutely stealing with their performances as well. We want more Simon and Pellecanos!
Already 4 episodes in. Mates, this show is legit. Of course anything David Simon and Baltimore is a hit. So many 'The Wire' alumni in it too. Must watch! Jon got that B-more accent on lock too! Now he just has to order that Pit Sandwich with tater salad with horseradish lol
That pit beef! Now you’re thinking like police
Jon Bernthal gun behind his back look is always top tier 🤣 I swear he gets me everytime 😂
Fkin A , always amazing
Herc and landsman? How have I missed this show. Gonna give it a watch
Sooo good and sadly true story smh
The spiritual sequel to the wire
Almost like an update to what’s going on in Baltimore, very interested to see David Simons take
I don't think we should look at it like that. This seems to be focusing more on police brutality part. We will for sure get what we saw in the Wire regarding things that contribute to these problems. "Put dope on the table, be tough on crime, be out in them streets" mentality caused by politics and beurocrats.
Word is some of the kids will be on here like Dookie.
The Whole “We’re good police” quote does not apply here it’s also a true story. I read the book it was wild
Check out The Corner for the spiritual prequel!
If John Bernthal and his weird posture are in it, I’m watching it.
Props to Bernthal he really went for that Baltimore accent
Especially that scene at 1:46
Finished watching The Wire two months ago. This is a must starting Monday.
Jon Bernthal is amazing, no matter who he plays!
I lived in Baltimore for over 20 years...same issues as way back then
Looks like Marlo went "the other way" lol
I NEED THE NAME OF THE SONG
HBO went all out ! Simon and Pelecanos masters of there craft ! I’m the Bailbonds within the Story and Named the book . Plus I consulted with HBO and worked directly with consulting with Jon Bernthal on his part .. What a ride
Jon... you beauty.. how smooth is his acting!!❤🔥
Jon B: You know who I am? 🤔 Me: Yup Frank Castle. 😬 He always has that swagger that just reminds me of Punished.
Bro, that drop at the end after "I'm not a dirty cop" gave me chills I haven't had since The Wire.
Naa
Absolutely stellar series, wish it had been longer. So gritty
I recently rewatched the mini-series and it's even better the second time around. Now what I would like to see David Simon do if he can, is the same style as this but about the Seven Five Precinct.
I finally watched the last episode and I am exhausted mentally! Amazing work!
If David Simon created it, it'll be unique, accurate and introspective.
It will be propaganda.
I’m going to guess that you use ‘propaganda’ a lot to describe any movie or tv show that doesn’t conform to your politics. I watched the first episode, it was fantastic and looked at both sides of the argument.
@@reck9614 if it's on TV it's mockingbird propaganda, unplug and look at reality...truth and facts don't get published, they get banned and silenced.
I was living in Winchester St. in Baltimore when all this went down, and was living in Park Heights when Sean Suiter committed suicide. This series is only 6 episodes, but I swear it can easily go two seasons with 10 + episodes each.
You ever visit the payphone on Park Heights and Belvedere? :D
if you loved the wire then this is a must see. I'm in part 4 so far and this is an amazing show
FINALLY!!!!!! The conversation we NEED.✌️
Looks like THE WIRE SEASON SIX 😀
More like a spin off, but agreed
why always The Wire? Watch The Shield its more similar than The Wire and better
@@punipuni384 Same creators
@@punipuni384 no show is better than the wire, not even the shield
@@punipuni384 Same creator, also same location.
If you walk through the garden, you better watch your back……
The fact no one gets this reference yet really bothers me lol
on ep3 this week now, man Jon Berthnal is the real one, hold the gun behind his back has been one of coolest move i've seen cops do on tv. bravo to him
This immediately had wire vibes. Couldn’t believe it when they said BPD. Then saw they were the same producers. Guaranteed watch.
This is based on a book by Justin Fenton, who like David Simon, was a Baltimore Sun cops and courts reporter for years. It's cut from the same fabric in part by the same people, should really be top notch.
@@andydougherty3791 LESGO
Another HBO masterpiece for the books. DAVID SIMON IS THE GOAT.
If you like BLM themed tv shows
@@jamesgordon6483 If you like shows based on reality*
@@ZephyrFate in those shows reality gets skewed to the left side
@@jamesgordon6483 No, that's just reality my dude. The Wire is a fantastic depiction of how broken all of our systems are.
I see Jon Bernthal - I click
This show needs to be a full series
That's messed how Wayne did that dwarf though 🤦🏾♂️🤣
One of the best series I've watched in years.
Bro this was amazing 10/10 would recommend to anyone goes to show what goes on secretly with people of power and money AMAZING
Slim Charles: "Marlo went an cleaned his whole ACK UP, they sayin he poe-leece now!"
I gotta say as someone who grew up in MD, Bernthals balmore accent is sounding good.
Jon Bernthal's character, it seems his T.O (Training Officer) was Alonzo Harris (Training Day)
Anyone else who instantly heard "We built this city" in their head when you saw this trailer title?
Jon berhthal fits in it so well like the intro song💪🏻
Instead of making a miniseries they should do a new season for each major crime city. Nothing like a great show that goes only 6 episodes😒 Dopesick was another epic series and should've gone a few more seasons
Jon Bernthal excellent, a f**king actor with balls
Looking back to daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke cage, iron fist and punisher, to me, my eyes are always set on the punisher. He doesn't need the super abilities, but he'll make sure you face the his wrath. Among the marvel shows, he was the best watch.
while I love johns acting in it, the writing on that show was really accurate to the actual punisher at all
This is such a great show!!! Cannot recommend enough. ♥
Fantastic audio mix on this trailer
Im ready to see this TV show!!
HBO, David Simon, Jon Bernthal, Baltimore??!!? This is going to be a tough watch, I'm IN!
I'm really glad marlo stanfeild changed his ways after he sold his connect to slim Charles and the Co op. Can't believe he passed the back ground checks to become a detective though.
The infamous Baltimore gun trace Police task force... man. Gotta see this.
I can’t wait for the mini-series that’s honest about crime in Baltimore! I’m sure it will be created by reporters, writers and entertainment execs eager to discuss crime trends, who the victims are, who the perpetrators are, and what needs to be done to reverse it.
As in crime in Baltimore is up, despite getting rid of cops?
Exactly haha. This will be some virtue signaling nonsense
You don't think The Wire and The Corner were honest about crime in Bmore, You can even go way back to Homicide:LOTS
This is why Netflix is going to be the next blockbuster. The can't punch out contents as good as hbo.
Jon is such a great actor man
I'm from Baltimore. Bernthals accent is on point!
Heck, I hope we can get this in the UK at some point. Just re-watching The Wire for the 5th time, and like a fine wine, it just gets better and better.
I'm about to watch it for the first time ! ... Just finished a binge watch of Bosch and thought that was immense.
@@vwright1021 Warrior is fire too‼️
VPN
Is the wire any good ?,I've heard good reviews so I gave it a go ,but watched the first two episodes and thought it was abit boring 😴, does it get better as in a faster pace ....
@@craigmaguire6168 You have to stick with it. It's a slow burner. Your effort will be rewarded.
The first episode was great, can not wait to see more. Feels like you see how the police actually operate and doesn't apologize for them
As the show is obviously about black people vs police, can you tell me if the show is a BLM love letter or it shows both sides equally? I love series like the Wire, Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, but I hate that almost all shows on HBO, Netflix, Amazon and other platforms are written to cather to "left" audience, to the levels that makes me don't want to watch it, because of the sick agenda.
@@icyman2 it follows the true story of what happened within the Baltimore police department years ago around the Freddie Gray incident. It's grounded in reality, and so naturally it has both bad and good characters on all sides that actually existed. Judging by your comment it might be good for you to watch it
@@charliec5339 Ok thanks, I'll give it a try then I guess. ;)
@@lycanhd Actually I don't watch BBC, as I don't watch mainstream media at all. They exist nowadays only to promote certain agendas on both sides. Not only in USA but my country and others also.
@@charliec5339 this is the truth though right? Because I know they’ll change some of the story for drama purposes.
Sgt Colicchio was definitely in this unit...
AH! YES! one of those trailers that gets you pumped! i will be checking this out
Love John Bernthal great actor if his in it I’m watching it 😍🤗 it looks really good!! About to binge on this show
JON BERNTHAL PLAYING THE ROLE OF POLICE BRUTALITY IS AWESOME
Anybody on the second floor? Your mother is!”😂😂😂
Lol🤣
Such a good show. Gotta rewatch it
Jon Bernthal was so good at conveying Wayne’s astonishment at his downfall that I almost felt guilty for enjoying it…almost…
Looks like HBO is about to drop another great show, while my Netflix account that I pay $20+ for a month rarely ever has a show worthwhile to keep my subscription open for. Once Ozark and Stranger things are over with, they better start getting some new quality shows or it's goodbye to that overpriced platform.
Just finished this show...fantastic and to think that this was based on a true events!! Wowsers!!
Just finished this series and god dang it’s good!
Just finished THE WIRE series , can't wait to watch this .
I'm jealous you got to enjoy The Wire for the first time
Time to put Baltimore back into the spotlight. Literally every scene is so familiar cos I traverse through this place on a daily. This oughta be real good. The casting is 👌🧐
🤮
Jon's doctor did a good job with his nose! He must be very happy ☺️
Jon nailed the "Baldimoore" accent
Seems like Marlo Stanfield really learned his lesson
Jay did well for himself!
Now I really want to see "the green wall gang" next as a series! 😍😍😍
When you walk through the garden…
Bernthal attempting a Bmore accent! I'd watch just for his try! 😆😆 Kidding aside, looks like something people need to see. As a baltimoron, I can say that the city, sadly, is a truly lawless place. I'm sure other urban areas can identify with this.
Was "Baltimoron" intentional?
Bravo HBO for taking the Wire and moving on to an even bigger story. This city is raw and dangerous but the people are real and the city has its beauty and lots of it. You just have to find it. I’ve lived here a 1/3 of my life and I just don’t see me leaving.
4 episodes in and I’m obsessedddd
The coolest part is how the used some of the same people from the Wire man this whole series is a master piece !
