(media) What is your favorite cold open in The Wire? Mine is either "The story of Snotboggie / This is America man" (S1E1 00:00) or the one where Snoop goes shopping for a nail gun (S4E1 01:45:42). Honorable mention to the hilarious one where Herc & the team struggle to move a single desk (06:25). 15 comments
