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.

Watch this, it's 20 mins but does a very good job of explaining why it's great and why it's important in modern society.
