The Wire is one of the GOATs, if not thee GOAT, because of the ending. Season 5 is good for that reason alone

All characters storylines are good but he was my least favorite. On the 3rd rewatch I was annoyed by his character

Worse than Ziggy?
I think it's always important to make the distinction between hating the character and hating the actor/performance, because one is a little more subjective than the other. In my opinion.
Because Dominic West was perfect as McNulty. Especially when you consider they almost cast John C. Reilly
On the flip side, I always thought they could have found a better Carcetti. Aidan Gillen wasn't bad I just thought he was lacking. Can't really put my finger on it.

Would have been cool, if it was fleshed out longer but I understand what happened there
Now that other narrative of the szn was ridiculous

yea.. ain’t hard to see how dude ended up their given how obvious the flaws are with the system
you’re glad he cares and he shouldnt have to throw some of the folks under the bus.. but dude just needs to try to work within the system a bit or just talk to people, get some sorta finesse game
it’s like the shh with his wife and kids.. using ole girl for that court appearance, showing up with bubs to the soccer game AND having his kids play that game with string.. hell letting bunk sleep in their bed before them with the cigar after he burnt up his clothes at that chicks place (literally just watched season one this weekend and last night)

Yeah those court room/crime scene dramas don't play too well after watching The Wire
nah man the police, politics and system don’t play well after you grow up a bit and watch

Yeah 3 times I think. Once at the wall, then at the towers he just shoots blindly towards people throwing stuff at him Herc and Carver, then he kills the undercover in season 3.
They did that intentionally. When the producers had the actors shadow real cops and and do background they discovered that the majority of cops don't fire their weapon in the course of their entire career.

It took for my 3rd rewatch of the show to realize that the cop at the very end of that clip that opened the door is the actual Jay Landsman. I had no idea they put him in the show and named a character after him. Dope.
