Unfortunately, the system doesn't change. The new detective will either be corrupted himself or buried somewhere in the department. The Wire did a great job presenting this.

One thing I love about this scene is that the corrupt cops are sitting under a collection of wanted posters, looping them in with the other criminals via the framing of the camera.

It really is so well shot. Every scene tells a story beyond what is being said. It's actually refreshing to let you put things together visually. Far too many TV shows and movies have to bash you over the head with the dialogue, even going so far as to use a narrator to explain it to you in detail. BB and BCS both embrace the visual medium and tell the story with visuals as much as with dialogue. There are whole scenes without any dialogue at all and most of the story is pure visuals. It really is a joy to watch even when the subject matter can get pretty dark.

Love the way this show is shot. The light scattering across the glossy hallway is immensely satisfying to look at. And the audio too, the buzzing of the lights is also so very satisfying to listen to.

Mike actually has respect for good cops, because he never was one. And he knows what he is, and he knows his family is nothing like him.

Makes me wonder that was it really Mike’s fault that he turned bad? I mean, yeah, sure he took bribes and that led to so many bad choice roads but this scene also showed that the police system is corrupt and draining as hell to the point that the guy in the end even said in resignation that they’re sorry that the new hotshot was too enthusiastic at doing his job. Where does the personal accountability end and the problem with the system begins? (I said this for Jimmy as well)

For sure it is mikes fault he turned bad as ultamately he was the one that made the choice just like Jimmy but for sure the blame also rest on many others as well. Honestly I would say Jimmy and Chuck were a major influene on him. In season one especialy it seems like he actually liked jimmy and cared about him. I will never forget the scene after he stole the money and Jimmy turned it in and Mike said "what are you doing?" and Jimmy said "the right think." Dare I say that would have reminded him of his son who wouldnt take the money and maybe he saw some hope in jimmy and an "honerable theif" to take under his wing. But that hope was crushed when Jimmy fell off the path and so mike went off the path and since it was Chuck's betreyal that was partialy responsable for Jimmy's fal Chuck and Jimmy are responsable for mike's fall.

@zekeiwa5837

6 ай бұрын

The problem is that Mike thought that once he accepted his first bribe he became bad and there was no way to change. That's why it's his time machine moment and that's why he tells Jimmy about the bad choice road, except that he's wrong. He could have changed and tried to do the right thing (he didn't need to become a criminal and make millions for his family when he proved to be a very competent man in non-criminal fields), he just didn't believe he could. Instead of using his son as an example to do the right thing, all he took from his death was that the people responsible had to pay and his atonement was to continue being bad to provide for his family. You can argue that yes, the system was screwed up, but Mike never fought against it or tried to do what's right. He simply thought he belonged there and that was it, but ultimately this philosophy is proven wrong by both Jimmy and Walter, who in their final moments do what's right and accept the consequences. Chuck's quote at the end "you can always change your path" is a direct challenge to Mike's idea, and an overall thing across both shows is that the characters are always faced with the idea of moving on but decide to continue where they are. Even Nacho and Howard, who are the most trapped in their worlds, have the choice to walk away at one point but decide not to, even if that ends with their deaths
