Just watched season 5. Yea it was pretty trash.

McNulty and the serial killer storyline was terrible. Watching it made me realize that McNulty and Freamon are similar. Difference is Lester is so cool and smooth and McNulty just a gaping a$$hole.

There was some serious acting in this season. McNulty was killing it with his non verbal facial expressions. He lucky that Beadie stuck around.

Despite how bad it was there was still so many memorable scenes.

-Clay Davis taking the stand lol
-Prop Joe getting killed
-Cheese trifling ass getting killed
-Omar death
-Marlo jail scene
-Mike killing snoop
-Mike and Dukie goodbye and Dukie hustling Prez
-Probably my favorite scene was Bubbles celebrating his sobriety and his speech on grief

All in all I say the seasons rank as 3,4,1,2,5

Even though I really love season 2. You appreciate when your older

Season 5 could have really gotten ugly if not for Lester and McNulty and if Bond didn't fukk up taking the trial local.

So many elected officials were dirty.
Madam President Nareese Campbell
Levy
Former Mayor Royce
Burrell
Andy Krawcheck

All of them were embezzling money from drug dealers.

Freamon could have took down everyone

I mean shyt it was basically a smaller scale version of what we are seeing with the Epstein shyt. Cut the investigation off as quick as possible, find a fall guy and proclaim it all over because if people keep digging deeper it'll implicate all the people in power.

Just like how they leaned on Daniels to keep the case a drug case and to shut down the case once they found out they were chasing the money.

I know. That's why I really got a kick out of season 2 on this rewatch.

The Greeks are international traffickers that have multiple passports multiple names and who knows where they are from.

And if they are somehow close to being got they have FBI agents tipping them off
