“He preys on the weakest among us.” Episode 52 of The Wire premiered last night for we On Demanders, and hoo boy. Jimmy McNulty‘s done some outrageous stuff in the past, but this is beyond the pale. I’m curious to see how Wire fans react to the big moment here — If the show hadn’t spent so much time grounding itself in realism, I’m not sure it could pull off this turn towards the baroque. Still, I trust Simon and Burns.
One thought on “McNutty.”

Jimmy is at his most interesting when he careens totally out of control. He can’t help himself. Maybe his new “methodology” is a bit over the top, but as a fan from the beginning, it doesn’t faze me.
