The Wire: Why Bubbles is the true protagonist
Drug addict Bubbles (Andre Royo) featured in all 5 seasons of The Wire. Here's why we think he was the overarching protagonist all along.

The last time she interacted with bubbles
They didn't interact in season 5
He was doing too good
The Wire was not popular when it aired. A record exec isn’t going to release an album that isn’t going to sell.
If Capitalism at its core is anti black, why do we continue to get these stories about The Wire? Is The Wire HBO’s Sprite?
It’s a dirty game, ain’t it?
It was popular when it aired lol
Popular to whom?
impact vs sales
low ratings for s1 and was not watched by the "right" demos a la Mad Men
then s1 dvd sets were being passed around colleges like hot cakes
along with s2 being whiter - s2 was the highest rated of the 5 seasons
imo long hiatus btwn s2 s3 hurt but thats when college professors started courses about the show
