nothing is touching the character development, the plot, the acting, the writing, and the payoffs
spoilers of course:
- that fukking nailgun almost bringing down marlo's entire empire (great and subtle writing)
- mike putting a hit on his own dad
- herc destroying randy's life
- prezbo becoming a likeable character
- bodie's fall
- the criminals being one step ahead of smart cops (how many shows got smart cops and smart criminals)... & the payoff when lester finally puts it all together
- the rise of marlo and the co-op
- almost every scene omar was in (robbing marlo, staying alive in jail, robbing the entire shipment)
and I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff, but every episode was piff
how many shows actually develop characters (no cliched good guys or bad guys or plot device characters), plan out their storylines, and successfully make villans into heros and vise versa
too bad they fukked it up in season 5
4 > 1 = 3 > 2 >>>>>> 5
