re: After rewatching The Wire, the ending for Duquan was the most depressing for me

fricking Namond. That’s what is so great about the show. Just shows that “the streets” aren’t always fair and sometimes the good ones get fricked while the bad ones catch a break. It’s brilliant television.
S4 is my #2 season (behind S1). It’s that good IMO. Ans Dukie’s arc was a total gut punch. He was a good kid and one of the only ones who was actually trying and had the smarts to make something of himself and get out. But the streets sucked him back in.
Randy’s was also tragic. But Dukie was one of the only real “purely good” kids. And he ended up becoming the next Bubbles.
Tragic.

I disagree that Namond was the "least deserving." His father was doing life in prison, and his mother essentially forced him to sling dope so she could sit out her arse, and keep up her lifestyle, and subjected him to serious mental abuse. He might have had more nice things at home than his friends, but that quality of life would only continue if he dealt drugs, as a 14 or 15 year old. You can say he was a coward, pussy, whatever, but he was really just a kid who wasn't cut out for thug life, but put on a facade because he was told that was who he was supposed to be.

Bubbles was able to turn it around at the end and that gives me hope that Duquan can too.
