Absolutely. Incredible acting in both. What a shame. Generation Kill is such a superb bit of TV that very few people I know have seen as well.
MORE LIKE TROMBLEY?!
Ray really made that show, this is terrible news.
I think people are put off at first with the change of scenery but once you realize that's the format of the show there shouldn't be any issues.
Season 2 is my favorite.
David Simon said he wanted to make a show about the death of a great American city. The Docks show how the regular working class have been shit upon.
Nope, will see if I can track then down thanks
I rewatch Generation Kill every few years, such a fantastic miniseries.
And sometimes I just get the desire to watch part of the Christ killer scene.
There are lots of premature 'Wire' deaths....
Yeah, WTF… I still haven't recovered from Lance and Michael's deaths… I was playing the Hellboy game recently and just hearing Lance's voice made me wanna go rewatch the show. Really unfortunate.
I only recently watched season 2 of the wire. His character was ziggy sabotka
You only saw season 2!? You really need to start with season 1. (Much better, along with the other seasons...)
EDIT: I think I misread this and you only recently saw it.
Of course i started with 1. I’m now on season 4
Oh, good. And sorry, reading hard!
Aww shit. I haven't seen The Wire but he was a regular in Ti West films. RIP.
Man, that sucks... I really liked him in both Sinister movies. RIP
It gets me to see people take their life younger than I and with so much going for them. If I became rich would I start taking drugs?
