    It’s very good and worth watching. Yes it’s about cops and yes there are some “good” cops in the show, but really it’s about institutional failure and even the “good” cops are bad by human standards.

    McNulty is a great father, great guy, 10/10 decision making across the board. Truly a role model for anyone.

      I loved the show but McNulty was prob my least favorite character. It’s like they tried to force him to be likeable too much, and he suffers from early 2000s drama TV tropes a bit too much. He’s not the worst TV character I’ve ever seen or anything, but I did not really want to laugh along with his “crazy lovable guy” cop antics I guess
