Just finished a rewatch and goddamn McNulty is a pathetic piece of poo poo

I'm trying to put my finger on exactly why I hate McNulty more than the street guys, even though the vast majority of them are inarguably worse people.

I guess maybe it's because they are essentially more honest, especially with themselves. Also they don't act like spoiled children for the majority of their screentime.

I think Breaking Bad is great, but a little too fantastical to really be compared to The Wire.

What about The Sopranos?

i tried for years to get into 'good' television but its all rear end to me, the sopranos is too racist for my tastes (is it supposed to be like an idealization of mob movies? )

D'you mean like the characters being racist, or the show itself? I'd be interested to hear more. As for what it's supposed to be, it's basically a character study of a sociopath.

Cheese never bought a nail gun. A scene like that goes a long way for a character.

You know, they did it more than once in S2. After Ziggy shoots the Greek guy there's some camera effects as he's freaking out about it. Maybe appropriate that both cousins get that treatment.

I normally hate that choppy slow-mo effect with a passion when it shows up in anything, but it felt perfectly used in that scene.
