Reply to comment by Bushgjl in I like The Wire but it's seriously flawed by Bushgjl

Friend, we're not going to agree here.

If you can't see charm in McNulty, if you can't empathize with his self-destructive nature, then I don't know.

Honestly I kind of hated him after he sent his kids to follow a drug dealer, and then had the nerve to argue with his wife in court over custody.

He's not that interesting and he does a lot of dumb reckless shit, and the show tries to portray him as a great detective. He's an idiot asshole.

He is a great Detective, he's good police. It takes a toll on him. This is reflected in his personal life and overall health. Again, it doesn't matter. We are not going to influence each other here.
