The Wire's 5 Saddest Character Endings

From Wallace getting whacked to Michael becoming the new Omar, some of The Wire’s most redeemable characters got heartbreaking endings. Not every character in The Wire met a tragic fate. They’re few and far between, but some of the show’s characters got happy endings. Bubbles reconciled with his sister. Kima reconnected with Cheryl and her son Elijah. Lester retired to a peaceful existence full of dollhouse miniatures. Bunny Colvin adopted Namond and got him off the streets. Daniels and Pearlman became a power couple in the Baltimore legal system so they could combat the corruption they’d both become disillusioned with.
