The Wire

This show was amazing, per usual. McNulty has truly lost his mind, falsifying evidence and reports all over the place to make it look like there's a homeless-killing serial killer on the loose, tying red ribbons around his victims' wrists. It's a good guy trying to do the right thing the wrong way and that can't end well on The Wire. Still, no one cares about this killer; if you’re from the wrong zip code, nobody cares if you die. McNulty confides in Lester and Lester of all people agrees with his tactics! And offers suggestions to feed the lie and sensationalize the killer! No Lester!

It was nice to see Michael, Dukie, and Bug actually act like the kids they are and take a day to go to Six Flags. I think Michael proved a kid can have some fun and still keep a handle on his corner.

It was funny to see Ashy Larry (a fave from Chappelle's Show) make an appearance, testifying at Senator Clay's grand jury.

Finally, Marlo, Snoop, and Chris hunted down Omar's people trying to get to Omar. Omar and his hot-ass boyfriend are living in some nice oceanside place, but news of the murder of his man blind Butchie gets to him. And just like that, Omar is gonna get sucked back into the game. Let him have his vengeance!
