i’m so excited for you to watch the next few episodes and seasons 4 and 5. The next episode is in my opinion, the show’s best. Get your popcorn and snacks…settle in and enjoy the f out of it James! I supremely hope you talk more about this shows after you finish. There is even so much more than what you are noticing. Layers and layers of storytelling that is ripped from history.

2025-02-11 03:17:05 +0000 UTCFun fact (someone has probably already commented this lol) but the Cutty character is based on Calvin Ford’s life. One Gervonta Davis trainers

2025-02-11 03:01:50 +0000 UTCEp9: Why did we linger on the TV scene in the opening? McNutty was trying to catch the show she was watching. He has an interest in her and wanted to see what she found so interesting on the political show. But that high level thinking isn't at his pace. He cares more about things that happened in the past. Things that are concrete and not speculation. It's in the cop in him. It comforts him. Resolution. She is a hunter, a competitor. She thrives in controlling the chaos. It foreshadows the incompatibility of their relationship. The irony is that McNutty is receiving the same treatment he gives most of his women he gets from the bar.

2025-02-10 19:43:01 +0000 UTCYeah, HBO ran out of money due to Sopranos and Rome. It was supposed to be 3 2-season arcs… so unfortunately we only got the first arc

2025-02-10 15:55:26 +0000 UTCHave to say, it’s wild that with all these bodies being piled up due to malice and greed and joy of violence, the one death they do solve is Prez accidentally shooting a cop out of fear and general incompetence. He knew he wasn’t a street cop, he just wanted to be surrounded by his technology and riddles. That scene at the end where he’s just sitting in the dark room with all the computer sounds stings. Plus Daniels coaching him by saying you said you’re a cop “RIGHT” but him staying honest, ugh so good, good intentions and the truth will not save you.

2025-02-10 14:40:29 +0000 UTCCarnivale is the greatest show I have ever seen! Wire and breaking bad round out that top three. Seriously check out that show, it blended tons of genres, techniques, and storytelling elements into something that has never been done before. Camerawork, lighting, costume, design, plot, acting….there is not one element of that show that is not top tier. Seriously, if I need to drive to your house and drop off the DVDs, seriously, watch it.

2025-02-10 14:31:55 +0000 UTCCannot wait until you start season 4. Maybe the best season of TV I've ever seen, no exaggeration.

2025-02-10 09:57:52 +0000 UTCI missed it the first time I watched the series. My friends and I were talking and it just goes by so quickly and without comment. It's interesting how just a few seconds of one shot can reframe a character like that. I always remember the episodes following Kima's shooting, how Rawls took charge and brooked no bullshit. There's a good police underneath his politicking exterior. Somewhere along the line, he sold out. But he could have gone another way and been, if not a McNulty, at least a Bunk. A gay, white Bunk.

2025-02-10 07:25:25 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for a new series to get into, I'd love to see you take on "Vikings" It's an epic ride, and nobody else has done it. Keep up the great reactions!

2025-02-10 05:29:38 +0000 UTCThanks, I can’t help but gush about this show. It absolutely my fave of all time. Also, FLY EAGLES FLY! Congrats on another Super Bowl. I’m a Bills fan, but I’m glad ya’ll saved us from the 3peat.

2025-02-10 04:32:16 +0000 UTCPretty well said! Incredible route for the writers to take..and I love the risk. This show is something else!

2025-02-10 04:31:33 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you spotted Rawls at the bar. I was waiting for that.

2025-02-10 01:58:54 +0000 UTCHa, I forgot about Mouzone’s “your homophobia is so visceral” line. Loving these reactions as always, and I appreciate your comments about McNulty needing to find something meaningful in his life outside of his job. To me, McNulty is the very definition of a workaholic, and doesn’t know what his life would be without policework, which impacts his ability to sustain healthy personal relationships.

2025-02-10 01:56:26 +0000 UTCSad, but pretty interesting detail is that to this point in the series there have only been three shots fired by cops that we the audience get to see, and every one of them has been Prez. The first was when he was showing off his "light trigger-pull" he had on his pistol and accidentally shot the wall in the basement. The second was when he, Herc, and Carver drunkenly harassed the folks in the courtyard in the middle of the night and ended up blinding a kid. When it started kicking off and people were throwing things down at them, they all took cover behind the cruiser and Prez fired off one shot up at the windows. Then, obviously, the last was the accidental cop kill. I think it's fascinating how the writers crafted his character with his highs and lows. It's laid out plainly in the scene with Landsman shit-talking him that from the outside he's a completely incompetent, textbook bad cop. You can say he is a cop-killing, child-blinding, commander-punching, car-shooting, insubordinate loose cannon and you wouldn't even be wrong, and YET I and those in the show that actually knew him still love him and feel for him despite it all. It's hard to necessarily pull a moral out of all of this except that I think it shows the complexity of what it is that makes someone human and that it highlights the responsibilities you HAVE to uphold when you are a cop and the powers that come with that. If you aren't doing that, then things can go south quickly and catastrophically. I think that that is what Prez is guilty of. Not that he's a POS dirtbag cop, but that he wasn't ever able to be responsible enough.

2025-02-10 00:53:03 +0000 UTCFor other show suggestions, I would love to see Noah Hawley's "Legion." There isn't any show really like it, and it is relatively short, having only 3 seasons of a completed storyline. It gets way out there with creativity of telling a story as well as well as just tying in a lot of reality bending psychadelia that is both, funny, evocative and unnerving.

2025-02-10 00:51:02 +0000 UTCI’ve heard similar things about Ted Lasso too! I’d love to get to it eventually :)
James Adams
2025-02-10 00:07:35 +0000 UTCOh what that’s pretty neat.
James Adams
2025-02-10 00:07:18 +0000 UTCI forgot that this was THAT episode with Prez until they left for Chinese food. Man, its so awful for everybody the way that played out. Prez really never should have had a gun but he was natural PO-lice when it came to data, finance, and the paper trail. And the Rawls reveal is top tier. You asked about other shows. I know it was on a poll and dont think it won but cannot recommend enough Ted Lasso. With all the heavy shows I watch, I found Ted Lasso to be a wonderful, positive, uplifting experience that cleanses the palate, so to speak, while still being a well written, engaging show.

2025-02-09 23:11:07 +0000 UTCI only noticed this while rewatching: McNulty rattles off a few names of other police that can do what they do in episode 9. One of those names is Ed Burns, who is the co-head writer of the show and a former Baltimore homicide detective.
