Episode Synopsis
Bubbles attempts suicide after confessing his part in Sherrod's death and is taken to rehab. Freamon begins to build his investigation and has Chris and Snoop brought in for DNA samples. Bodie reaches breaking point over Marlo's murder of his people and turns to McNulty. Bodie is later killed on his corner because he was seen leaving central booking with McNulty.

Marlo meets with Spiros Vondas who vouches for Joe. Omar brazenly sells the stolen drugs back to the Co-Op.

Customer Reviews
I am LOVNG this!
Just watching The Wire for the first time and naturally I’m OBSESSED. Watched Season 1 and 2 in one weekend as I could not stop. Just about to start Season 3 and can’t wait to catch up with the podcast. I’m just loving the analysis, replays of classic dialogue from the show and cast and crew interviews. Brilliant, brilliant supplement to this amazing show.
Great podcast to n my favourite tv show
I’ve listened to lots of similar shows to this but Kobi and Dave’s love of the show shines through. Great interviews and fantastic banter with some interesting insight! Look forward to every episode!
Adds a whole new level to the series
The guys remind me of what I loved about the wire, get some great interviews and add little extras I never knew.
The show has a really easy low-key style, it’s easy to listen while commuting or doing the washing up. And it’ll make you want to watch the whole show all over again. Perfect!
