Underrated sad moments from the show?
This show has an abundance of well-known and oft discussed "sad" moments like Wallace's death, Dookie and Bubble's attempted suicide.
But what are some sad moments that are understated or aren't as talked about that stick out to you?
For me, it's when Cutty first meets Bodie and asks him about his older brother. When Bodie finds out that he knew him, he briefly perks up and for just a second and you see genuine joy and remembrance of his older brother cross his face. But then that defense mechanism kicks in, and he immediately reverts back to his normal, guarded self, and even downplays his brother and Cutty. It gets me every time. The Wire is so fucking good at communicating so much with so little. There are entire character arcs in small, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments across the show
