Nah Right




The Wire. Best Show On Television Of All Time. Yep, that's a mighty big claim but if you've seen it, you already know it and if you haven't then I just did you a favor - Netflix it. Now. Better yet, go buy it because you are going to want to watch it again soon.

For the fans already out there, or even for you soon-to-be fans, here is the trailer for The Avon Barksdale Story documentary. Avon Barksdale is a prominent character in The Wire, but he is also a prominent and infamous real life character on the streets of Baltimore.

I was interested to learn that the real life Avon actually inspired two different characters from The Wire. Imagine what an interesting life story he must have- that they couldn't actually fit it all into one character so they had to create two.
