Most amusing; when Mayor Carcetti makes a surprise visit to parks/recreation, parking and water/power.
Brilliant maneuver
That showed he really cared and sincerely wanted to clean up Baltimore and not maintain the status quo like his predecessors. That is what makes the budget decisions he makes later even more tragic. His high minded ideals of reform went out the window when faced with an entrenched bureaucracy. As much as he cared and wanted to change things for the better, he ended up having to play the same game of shuffling the budget around to maintain just enough status quo to keep the city from collapsing.
My most amusing: The FBI profile scene where they describe McNulty's character:
"The suspect is most likely a white male in his late twenties to late thirties, who is not a college graduate, but feels superior to those with advanced education, and is likely employed in a bureaucratic entity, possibly civil or public service. He has a problem with authority and a deep-seated resentment for those that have impeded his progress professionally. The sexual nature of the killings is thought to be a secondary motivation and the lack of DNA or saliva in the bite marks suggests possible postmortem staging. He may be struggling with lasting relationships and potentially a high functioning alcoholic with alcohol being used as a trigger in the crimes. The suspect’s apparent resentment of the homeless may indicate a previous personal relationship with a homeless person or the targeting may simply be an opportunity for the killer to assert his superiority and intellectual prowess."
and the look on his face was priceless.
