No, not Omar! RIP! I loved so much of his work. He was epic on the Wire. Loved him in: Boardwalk Empire The Night Of Hap & Leonard Lovecraft Country (which is a fucking crime there isn't a season 2) So many great roles. RIP
I reallllly wanted to like The Wire. Tried starting it last year. I love good series and binge them all the time. I might be missing some part of my brain that would tell me this was great.
