The Influence of Anxiety

Ref Flexion | The Wire S1E9 | Dudes Daily

I'm trying to give more attention to the visual aspects of these shows, realizing I've almost exclusively commented on the characters, plot, and performances. There's a lot of interesting camerawork this episode, but this shot of Avon Barksdale yelling at the ref is probably the best.

Avon yelling at the ref in the projects basketball game, who is reflected in his sports glasses, alongside the rival coach.
