Reply to comment by bloodyturtle in I like The Wire but it's seriously flawed by Bushgjl

Yeah but I'm not gonna watch an HBO series sympathizing with Derek Chauvin, am I?

If you want to make a police show where the3 police are that shitty and have them as main characters, it needs to be an almost lawless setting like Deadwood or Justified.

For the most part bunk and mcnutty are “real police”… there are much bigger assholes in the show. They’re chasing monsters

Edit: also there are a lot of shows with shitty awful characters that are wildly entertaining

I found the characters to be too wooden so that their bad attributes were the only things that stood out.

There was no heart to them.
