Gidina S Did you forget about Wallace’s remorse when he realized the full implications of his phone call? The guilt literally turned him into a drug addict. Also, we don’t know what Brandon had done, but we never see him kill or even shoot anyone. I don’t think he deserved to die the way he did. Stringer Bell ordered D killed and then played the comforting family friend to Breanna after making her think her only son killed himself. That’s one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen.

Haven't seen the 5th season yet but I'm with you on Bunk and Freamon being great characters. But season 3 did me in on McNulty. McNulty was the definition of a douche bag, as he banged chicks and got drunk out of his mind every single night, all while providing 0 support for his family and consistently pissing off his coworkers with little to no consideration for anyone other than himself. Part of me thought he was never gonna grow up. Glad he seemed to get his stuff together in season 4, but by season 3's end I had all had it with Stringer and McNulty. They were bugging hard and both got what they deserved. McNulty finally realized he was a bum, but I despised the man he became in season 3.
