Performances from The Wire that you thought were wack

[Combat Carl]

This isn't neccesarily about characters you thought were wack, but more so concerning bad acting jobs from characters.
While the show does have some of the best writing and acting i've seen from a television show, there were some certain actors who had no business being there

Carcetti-The dude playing him is usually a decent actor, but this role wasn't really for him. Just a flat boring performance, that resulted in me not either liking him or hating him

Nick Sobotka-The guy was just dull and tried to "overact" in most of his scenes. I loved the season 2 storyline, but this character was

McNulty in Season 5: At this point Dominic West just didn't care as evident by his English accent slipping through on countless scenes

The only one that was mediocre was Poot. Everyone else was perfect...

Sad to say that Sabotka is the perfect example, in both positive and negative ways, how this country works...he is the most complex and deep character in the Wire's history; Sure, Stringer, and McNulty are deep too, but Sobotka is on another level and is one of my favorite tv characters of all time

You didn't think Andre Royo did a good job as Bubbles? That was one of the top performances imo

I don't know breh; Chris was supposed to be lowkey and like a rock; when he showed emotion, he did amazing...remember the beating death of Bug's pops? And the search for the NY dudes? Chris can act breh

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I really fukking hated Ziggy and almost every scene he was in. I know he's one of those minor characters people love, but I just couldn't get into it
