Fran had the biggest smile on her face when she took her boys to see their house! You can tell that she was happy

This movie is the true definition of how it is being an addict on the streets. This movie is so underrated and all the actors did an amazing job

We never think about the affects of addiction on our kids, when we running around using . This is a amazing series.

10:15 Ms Ella actually played a mother figure in my life and I only found out about her daughter from watching the show, I actually slept in the rec center with some brothers who are my brothers till this day, we were loved for sure in the community, I think I come from a fortunate generation. RIP Ms Ella and thank you for your service ❤❤❤

The acting & the authenticity through out this whole series was brilliant, but the scene where Fran caught Gary drugged up was epic! They both deserved an Emmy for the roles they played.

Despite the bullshit that went on in the 90’s... it’s still the one of the best eras we had!

Damn... Gary gave everything for everyone else and was left with nothing...

When Fran says "not you Gary.. oh, not you baby.." man it's heartbreaking. You can see the embarrassment and desperation in Gary's face. Man.. such amazing acting to bring me to tears like that.

This kinda series is what they're meant to teach our kids. I have learnt a lot just watching this.... beautiful message

Being from Baltimore, as I keep watching this it makes me reminisce a lot about them Monroe and Fayette Street days. I have family from that area that knows the real Fran and Bunchie Boyd. I knew Gary McCullough myself. He was friends with my cousin back when I was little. Shout out 2 T.K Carter. He had Gary McCullough down 2 a T.

I watched this when it premiered on HBO I was 24, didn't know a thing about life, watching it now is bittersweet, especially with everything that I have experienced between then and now. I cried because this is a realistic depiction of drug addiction.

I kept finding the flashback scenes to be outstanding, but that one flashback with a healthier Curt was just outstandingly eerie. The man had swagger and respect, but he also gets taken into drug fiendishness.

This was one of the best mini series ever!

"Well Gary, you the nigga with the ideas, he the nigga with the truck" 😀😂😭 Truth.

😂 Gary be killing me with his fast crackhead walk

This is what they should show in school to educate people about the war on drugs and te effect drug abuse has

The ones who play junkies and dealers in this play politicians and cops on The Wire. Both shows are absolutely amazing. Heroin is killer and it is so sad that Gary amd D'Andre both succumbed to it. I feel their pain. RIP.

Tyreeka went on to get her master's degree.

The shootout scene had me rolling over 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ they had a bang out with each other 😂🤣

This is my favorite episode by far, the family moving into their own house, not having to live with toxic family members, everyone starts working, the baby is born, but hardships once again occur, decisions has to be made, a true window of let go the pass, to survive the present storms of the present for a better tomorrow

So wierd to see some of the cops from the wire as drug addicts in this show. Pretty cool

Always watch this as a reminder of why I left my ex and the dope game behind, I could have easily ended up death, in prison, or doing dope myself, thank God for the tide turning

The acting is top notch

I wish they would make more series as good as this one!

When Fran was happy she had a Job, and she had to take a bus 2hrs to work at 6am, it made me cry 😢cause I grew up in this era in Los Angeles and it reminds me of my momma, my point of saying this is even tho my mom was happy she had the Job I seen her pain every night.🤞🏽

this show they need to bring back on the air ...this is real life struggles for addicts and young kids ..

All I could think this whole episode was I hope Fran stay clean man she's doing so good

The actress playing Fran had the “Holier than thou” attitude down pat. Some addicts out of rehab take the whole self righteousness too far. She portrayed that perfect in her speech and facial expressions.Bravo

“Well Gary, you the nigga wit the ideas. He the nigga wit the truck!” 😂😂😂😂😂

See how Fran is so pleasant and caring when shes sober? The drugs really do put so much anger and frustration in your heart. When people get sober their personality does a 180. Very sad to see because addiction is worse than it ever has been. So many people out there suffering like this. Had a life long friend who was the coolest dude ever, was so chill, funny as hell, we thought just alike and never got angry or annoyed with each other no matter what. Well his lovely mother started giving him painkillers in High school, he became addicted pretty much immediately and he just became the biggest jerk in the world. Every little thing bothered him and he would talk so much sh*t to you for no reason, you could tell he would just sit there and getting angry at every little thing you did. He got into this "thug" mode and hated anything that would make him seem weak or like a "white boy" in any way which caused huge riffs between us because I never seen being a thug as cool cause I grew up in the Hood of Milwaukee and knew what it was really all about. His mom messaged me on Facebook a year ago (At this time I had not talked to him in like 7 years) begging me to start hanging out with him again and help change his environment because he was shooting up Fentanyl now which led to him getting arrested for falling asleep on the side of the highway, cops woke him up and found all dope/tools. I still worry about him a lot but honestly I was so scared to get close to him again, I wouldn't be able to handle him ODing and I really didnt want to get involved with that stuff again because I had trouble with it too, if you hang out with drug users you will become one eventually. Im even scared to message his mom and check up on him. Sorry for the novel but it just helps emotionally to write this stuff out sometimes, that situation really bothered me when I was a teenager and still does to this day. It was just like losing a good friend forever because he was a completely different person. This show makes me think of him and all the other friends I lost to the opiates....so many good kids. I pray for all the addicts every night.

That's some damn good drug addict makeup.. This show was so underrated, launched The Wire. BMore ain't no joke.

Man, HBO used to put out some of the best work.

When they said Crenshaw Mafia Brothers I started dying. Crazy how influential the East was to the West, and the West to the East.

Fran cleaned up very well, she’s such a beautiful woman. But.. Gary has to be THE saddest character arc in this series, the man couldn’t catch a break.. then he just died. Truly heartbreaking.

Damn! I wish Fran and Blue would have got together after that meeting hug!💃🏾🚶🏾💕

It’s a lot of Marvins out here......go to meetings and prey on women.

Seeing "Mr Curt" in his prime really made me wanna cry.

I just watched this movie for the first time. It brought me to tears. This is my story...this is our story. An untold story. I'm grateful for the lessons that I learned seeing everyone I loved be affected from drugs. Maybe this movie can help future generations beat the pitfalls that so many of our fathers, mother's, brothers, sisters did not....

Niggaz bustn at each other😭😭😭😂

This show is so real...

“Even the cop had to ask me why you tell me your real name” 😂😂😂

I like how although deandre mom n pops not together and go what they go through, they still communicate although it's not always a positive convo

FRAN MESSED UP TIME SHE STARTED MESSING AROUND WITH THE DUDE SHE MET FROM THAT MEETING

When Gary said if Curt quit using he'll have more time n dude said time for what I felt that shit...what is life 🤔🙄

Every single episode was excellent. Real life & what a fantastic cast !!!

Them damn fools shooting at each other, then telling an epic story afterwards lmaooo 😂😂😂

half the actors in here play in the wire....

This movie can be very educational to these young kids see what not to do n better their selves

I love how Fran was making moves to get clean! And Blue too! I’m so happy when addicts shake that shit!

I love this show, never gets old

Lol I'm in the Baltimore station now. It's a program for veterans who have problems with homelessness and substance abuse. It's a really good program.

The part in the thumbnail where Fran first realizes Gary also has gotten hooked on drugs, is so very sad.

4:00 .....if you're a human with compassion you're watching that scene and hoping they make it. That mom stays clean and her and D get a job and get back to the task of carving out their slice of the American dream.

I hope some good karma comes Gary's way. He's always helping people out & no one helps him. It makes me sad. He's the best. I stan for Gary🖤

This show was the realist. I for one can definitely relate. 90s was good and bad.

Gary's face in the hospital room when Scalio said "time 4 what?"

This show hits home for me I was born and raised in the city of Pittsburgh on the north side I seen some of my uncles struggle with drug abuse it was sad I lost a uncle overdose lost a cousin to an overdose family members in and out of jail addiction is a really sad thing once it gets a hold of you it’s very hard to turn your life around those who have got clean more power to you and God bless you and just remember if you’re addicted there’s always another way if you really want to get clean just stick with it and have the will power only you can change your life around

Tyreeka looked and talked like she was 12 years old 😂

No wonder Andre couldn't find the job, his attitude is wild disrespectful LOL

the lack of prenatal care Tyreeka received.....

I loved this show then and I love it now. So glad its on here

54:41 I didn't see her arms at 1st, I literally thought the baby was sitting up immediately 😂😂😂

LMFAO IM SORRY but boo said “it look like him anyway” 😂😂😂😂 I was so dead. (Comic relief)

Fran's interview 😨😨😨😨😲 The lady was about to hire her ....damn .

I wish Fran and Gary would have gotten back together

Smh they really had a shootout with each other & this episode was one that should be taught in schools very educational.. Tyreeka lack of prenatal care is definitely to be talked about.

As an ex addict this show reminds me what a hell on earth addiction was, yet at the same time watching them use makes me want to use again too. And I never even shot up before. Addiction is the devil.. Just like when Gary went through that excruciating pain in jail while being forced to get clean, and even though he made it through the withdrawals, he still went right back to using the day he got out. Thats how strong the temptation is. Youre willing to feel all that pain and go through all that hell just to feel okay for a couple hours.

Hookin up with somebody from recovery is a stupid move, one night stands are okay but relationships are a bad idea.

feel sorry for gary how the dope fiends treat him

Curt looked good cleaned up😊

This series should have never ended , I wish it didn't

Stuff like this makes you really appreciate how good you actually have it

I can’t believe it’s 2018 and I never watched this show well maybe cause we couldn’t afford HBO when this show aired 😂 but still I could’ve been watched it next is the wire and oz on my list to watch

VOSTFR = version original sub title French. Your welcome

90s was Real,, Glad I made it through,, because some of my friends didn't,,. RIP HOMIES,, AND FREE MY NIGGAS,🙏

I can't name any series or movie with such great acting!!

haha Deandre sure has a way of applying for jobs

shooting at each other. LMAO

Old school HBO series are classics!!!!

Everytime fren lights a cig, I want 1.😂😂

I don't know why women who are handling their business or at least attempting to decide they need to latch on to a raggedy man. That dude Fran hooked up with was her downfall.

Great movie, and great actors. My favorite part and what made my heart warm, was when Fran took her sons to the new house, the smile on her face was beautiful and she was so happy.

I love how they break the fourth wall by acknowledging Boyz N The Hood, which co-stars Tyra Ferrell who plays Miss Ella Thompson that runs the rec.

“A man child alone with burdens to bare “ sad reality of being a young black man

the story music on point Gary had a good heart. .good guy

I loved this show. Grew up watching this show

Only person who didn't fall into drugs was Dre cousin ... Although he got killed he still remembered the rules to the game

34:38 i feel apart when Fran grabbed Gary's face and realized he was hooked, ive seen that sad distant look before in real life :(

them fools was shooting at each other smh

This is the only thing I've even watched, and this is around the 8th time I've watched this series, that i watch every second of the closing credits. Love the real pictures!!

God bless the people of Baltimore city..black and white.

I knew this was going to be the best episode (the CMB are my favourite characters in the book) and so far, it is :)

Errybody had on the lugz jacket back den

The acting is amazing I love it thank you guys, Excellent Work!!..

I like this one better than those other hood flicks. Being positive and showing the down side of the life

The man that plays Marvin naturally looks like he ain't shit. I thought the same thing about him when he was on the wire.

So bad to see Gary fall. This shit hits home because the same thing happened in my family. Them streets be vicious as fuck.

I wish we could have seen more about Fran as a child and her relationship with her Dad.

Lord they shootings up in the hospital.
