    After watching the whole show, you come to the conclusion, even though he's the main character; McNulty is actually the weakest and most irritating character of all. At least that's how it was for me. He had his moments, but even then it's Bunk that got the best out of him.

    Nahh, I finished Season 1 in like one week. :D But I don't think I'm going to buy the box set for season 5, so it might take longer. :sad:
    Season 1 had only 9 episodes and was pure greatness:D I don't have any yet, they are so damn expensive in Germany, thinking about getting 1-5 from the States on ebay.

    I have 1-4 in box sets, I think they were about 40 bucks. But one of them was 30.

    Whatever, you should definately get them. Makes life a lot easier. :D

    Bunk and McNulty combo is unmatched in TV. And you are right about McNulty, was allways a flawed character, but mainly what you refer to was true in last season, when he got ape shit cuckoo with what he pulled and involved Lester in.

    Irritating is pretty subjective, but weakest? McNulty, as a character, exists to highlight the criticism of the police force which is so central to the story. And he´s broken for it, just like Daniels is, which is one of the main criticisms of public institutions the show has. He´s also an anti-hero, the guy who sees how the system is rotten and won´t stand for it, but who´s a crappy father, an alcoholic, and a pain in the ass. I wouldn´t call him weak.

    I didn't read the previous pages :oops:

    The season finale was intense! Better than last season's. Made up for a rather non dramatic season!
