The Telegraph has an interesting article on the Wire cast and what they are up to now that the show has finished. Last time i spotted my personal favourite “McNulty” was in Frank Millers 300.

The Wire Season 5 Episode 6 Review
This is a late and quick post McNulty seem to be digging himself further and further down the hole of lies he’s created. And poor bunk ain’t getting the resources he need to work real cases… Omar is on the war-path, but I’m thinking he’s too keen and angry and might make a fatal misstake [...]

The Wire Season 5 Episode 4 Review
Damn, Marlo is one cold gangster. Looking at his face, not even a raised eye brow, when Prop Joe gets the bullet. I really hope Omar will get back hard on Marlo, he’s just getting to damn cocky for my taste. I’m sure he will… And while he’s at it, please do the Greeks also, [...]

The Wire Season 5 Episode 2 Review
Whereas episode 1 set the scene for the final season, episode 2 really kicked things off. The common theme seem to be to ‘stretch things’. The up and coming journo who’s trying to hard, stretching the truth for a good story. The unlikely joint venture between westside gangsters Marlo and Avon. And what about the [...]

The Wire Season 5 Episode 1 in Review
I bet you did the same thing as me this weekend – watching the first episode of the wire season 5.I loved the opening scene, bunk in fine form interrogating a seemingly clueless small time gangster, and later using a copying machine as a lie detector – instant classic. It was also great to see [...]

The Wire Prequels – Young Omar and Proposition Joe and When McNulty met Bunk
Today the Wire Season 5 will air on HBO, and we’ll celebrate with a few golden clips. The Wire Season 5 DVD boxes will apparently have some unique content on them, prequel material where you’ll see the gangsters growing up. It’s awesome to see how Omar only played people in the game from day one, [...]

The Famous The Wire Crime Scene – Police Profanity Language
This is comedy at its best; Bunk and McNulty are examining a crime scene. Enjoy. But it gets even better, as there is a great back story to this scene. According to the book The Wire: Truth Be Told, the whole scene is an insider’s homage to veteran Baltimore murder police Terry McLarney, who predicted [...]

Chris and Snoop, Bodie or McNulty – Who’s the coolest mother f*cker of the Wire?
So, from the comments in my previous post and surfing around the great old web, I’ve learnt that a lot of people really like the characters Chris and Snoop. It sort of shocked me as they are in my opinion just bad people. Their fun comments would have made them more appealing in a standard [...]

I Want the Wire on Sky HD
Here in the UK, the only way to watch the Wire is either on channel FX or getting the DVD boxes. I’d love it if my digital TV provider Sky would include it in one of its Sky HD offers. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see McNulty and company in all High Definition TV [...]

So this is it, the only Jimmy McNulty Fan Club. God damn. Shame on you!
A few minutes a go I did a google search for “McNulty Fan Club” and “The Wire Fan Club” and couldn’t find anything on the first pages that even resembled a fan page. Shit. How can this great show have such a poor f*cking following? I figured I am the chosen one to create this [...]
