I watched the Wire and now I'm basically black

I would def place Bubbs in the Chaotic Good and Mcnulty in Neutral Good.

Be curious to see if you change your mind after you finish the series. McNulty is even more chaotic than ever in the final season (after calming the fuck down a bit in season 4), and Bubbles ... well he's not a bad guy, but if you push him far enough ...

I know everyone loves Season 1 with the Barksdale Crew and Season 4 with the kids, but Season 2 is underrated. I love the character of Frank Sobotka and the story of the death of the blue collar community in Baltimore is so well told. Tragic.

The Corner mini-series is good too. It was kinda like the prequel to The Wire, made by the same guys, based on true stories, and the book was legit too.

Then you have The Bunk, who arguably had the biggest cock on the show.

I definitely think the Wire hit on a big ass truth wit the death of blue collar re robotics revolution. It's a huge issue facing the international community even more these days. I wasn't as big a fan of s2 until the last ep when I truly loved Frank's shenanigans with the police van.

And ya BUNK the BUNK my NURGA. I love this guy, maybe the most. He's also an incredible drunk actor

The back and forth between Jimmy and Bunk was magical.

Avon helped Cuddy with his gym and did some similar stuff that could justify him being neutral. I sort of agree about Marlo, but he was constantly rebelling against the established order (not just of the law, but also Stringer's co-op) and killing people even when he didn't have a good reason to.

I think there's a much better case for McNulty being chaotic neutral. One of the central themes of the show as that neither side had a monopoly on morality, and in a way both he and Avon had the same alignment: they just played for different teams.

That's fair enough, I understand the placement of him in Chaotic Neutral, but he also ordered the hits of many innocents. Like the "working man" that Bird shot, and the torture of another character. Just couldn't personally place him anywhere out of the Evil category.

Ultimately though, alignment systems aren't really applicable to real people, and the Wire characters are so layered and developed that they fit that bill as well.

McNulty went off in the final season, no doubt was chaotic in that season. Without a doubt the most interesting thing of the weakest season.

Yup, I still think Season 1 is the best, but Season 2 is criminally underrated.

Nick and Ziggy were very cringy to me though, and really dragged down the season. Especially Ziggy. God what a nearly unwatchable character.

The Corner is good, but incredibly depressing compared to The Wire. Seeing Lester as a dope head was pretty funny though.

Best chemistry on the show.
