We’ve been discussing the fate of McNulty. From the path the show is taking, and from the looks of the previews, McNulty hasn’t got much of a future. He’s permanently fucked things up with Rhonda, Beadie, his ex, and his kids. His secret is out within the department and looks like it [...]

Eyes on your own work! Miz Nall has sharp eyes …

Let’s do some real police work
And let’s do it by trying to see what the titles of the episodes can tell us.

[I know 56 -The Dickensian Aspect is old news but I need to get rid of this post that's been rattling around in my head, that I threw away more than once but still won't leave me alone.]
The first thing we see at the beginning of the teaser is exactly what we do expect [...]
